Get ready for some thrilling news in the world of Subaru enthusiasts! The highly-anticipated 2024 Subaru WRX TR is set to make its grand debut at Subiefest Florida on October 7th. Buckle up as we dive into the exciting details of this enthusiast-focused revelation.
For quite some time, Subaru aficionados have been yearning for a more robust variant of the 2024 Subaru WRX. While the base model is already a treat, the absence of a serious upgrade has left fans curious. But hold onto your hats because the 2024 WRX TR is here to quench that thirst for excitement.
Although Subaru has been tight-lipped about the specifics, they’ve dropped a tantalizing teaser image and the launch date. The teaser showcases distinctive wheels and what appear to be beefier Brembo brakes, possibly boasting an extra caliper piston or two. Subaru’s promise of it being “enthusiast-focused” suggests more upgrades beyond the brakes, likely including suspension enhancements.
Long-time fans might recall the TR designation from back in 2006 when it stood for “Tuner Ready.” Back then, it meant a more affordable WRX variant with some luxuries stripped away to hit a lower price point. This time, with the brake upgrade in tow, we anticipate the new TR will add rather than subtract. Could this mean it won’t break the bank compared to the base WRX?
If affordability is a key focus, don’t expect a power boost like the Prodrive prototype we glimpsed a few months ago. Those upgraded limited-slip differentials akin to the STIs might also remain a distant dream. Nevertheless, Subaru has been known to spring surprises, so keep your fingers crossed. As for the design, it seems the distinctive black plastic fenders will remain a signature feature.
Mark your calendars because all will be revealed on October 7th at Subiefest Florida. If you happen to be in the vicinity, make sure to witness this automotive marvel in person. And if not, be sure to visit Autoblog on that day for the full scoop.
But that’s not all! Subaru of America, Inc. has even more in store for Subiefest Florida. They’ve announced that the legendary Travis Pastrana, Subaru Motorsports USA driver, and extreme sports icon, along with Bucky Lasek, the renowned professional skateboarder and rallycross driver, will be part of the grand unveiling.
