Disgusting colour!  :-(
I'll have the previous blue version instead.

    Limited run of 10 yellow BRZ Kiiro models for New Zealand.

    Standard in 'tS' STI-tweaked specification, manual-only.

    Numbered key boxes, engraved keyrings and specific exterior badge.

    It's a Subaru BRZ tS, but it's yellow. Good enough for us.

    Not a full STI model, but you get some nice STI bits.

    Subaru of New Zealand is back doing the thing that it's done so
    well in the past: importing small runs of niche models and creating
    a bit of buzz with a couple of specific flourishes.

    The NZ$62,990 BRZ tS Kiiro is arriving in a limited run of 10 this
    month. It's manual-only, and an STI-tuned (that's what the "tS" bit
    means) version of the coupe with 18-inch STI wheels, a strut brace,
    STI gearlever/start button, drilled disc rotors and mesh grille.

    Pretty much standard production-model stuff and pretty much the same
    specification as the other 10 examples imported earlier this year,
    expect they were WR Blue. This one's yellow: the "Kiira" name is
    derived from the Japanese kanji script for the colour.

    Mesh grille and Brembo brakes are part of the tS package.

    And those limited-run flourishes? It wears a special Kiiro exterior
    badge and each car comes with a numbered presentation key box (1-10)
    and an engraved key ring, similar to the BRZ tS Tsubasa special
    edition and the WRX special editions AKA, Tatsu and Todoroki. 

    Putting that NZ-specific stuff aside, the colour combo (which
    includes yellow trim highlights in the cabin) is indeed a special
    run form the factory. The same colourway is being rolled out under
    various names elsewhere in the world; in the US it's called Sport
    Yellow Edition, for example.
