Finished in understated Magnetite Gray Metallic over a Black Alcantara® and leather interior with red stitching, this 2020 Subaru BRZ Limited has only 31,673 miles and captures everything enthusiasts love about a lightweight, rear-wheel-drive sports coupe: a low center of gravity, naturally balanced chassis, 6-speed manual transmission, mechanical limited-slip differential, independent suspension, and an intimate cockpit designed around the driver.
But this particular BRZ takes that formula significantly further.
In addition to its desirable factory STI Short-Throw Shifter, it has been upgraded with an aftermarket Rotax supercharger, adding forced-induction character to a platform already celebrated for precision and balance. Because the uploaded build sheet doesn't document the supercharger or a dyno result, we're not going to invent a horsepower number—but the significance of the modification is clear: this is not a stock BRZ.
It's the kind of car built for someone who doesn't simply want to arrive.
They want to remember how they got there.
The defining modification on this BRZ is its aftermarket Rotax supercharger.
The factory BRZ formula is built around response, balance, and momentum. Adding forced induction changes the personality dramatically by giving the engine additional airflow and the potential for substantially stronger acceleration than a factory naturally aspirated example.
The important distinction is how that power is delivered.
A supercharger is mechanically driven rather than waiting for exhaust energy to spool a turbocharger, which can create a more immediate relationship between throttle input and added boost.
That makes it especially appealing in a car like this.
Throttle. Boost. Clutch. Shift. Repeat.
We are intentionally not advertising a specific horsepower figure because the supplied documentation does not include the supercharger model specifications, supporting modifications, tune information, or a dyno sheet.
But from an enthusiast perspective, the modification transforms the conversation around this BRZ.
It preserves the lightweight, rear-wheel-drive chassis—and adds the kind of power many owners always wished the platform had from the factory.
There is no automatic gearbox between the driver and the experience here.
This BRZ was factory equipped with a 6-speed manual transmission.
And in this particular car, that's especially important.
A forced-induction BRZ with a manual transmission gives the driver direct control over:
Instead of simply pushing the accelerator and allowing electronics to make every decision, you're part of the process.
Every downshift matters.
Every corner exit becomes an opportunity.
Every perfectly timed gear change feels earned.
Three pedals are becoming rare. In a supercharged rear-wheel-drive sports coupe, they're something worth celebrating.
This car wasn't completely standard even when it originally left the showroom.
Subaru equipped it with the factory STI Short-Throw Shifter, a $501 option.
That's exactly the kind of factory upgrade you want in a manual BRZ.
The shifter is the component you interact with constantly during spirited driving, and the STI upgrade was designed to give the gear-change experience a tighter, more purposeful feel.
Combined with the aftermarket supercharger, this becomes one of the most important parts of the car's personality.
More power means more reasons to shift.
And this BRZ was already configured with the shifter enthusiasts wanted.
The BRZ's identity begins underneath the car.
Rear-wheel drive.
The front wheels concentrate on steering while the rear wheels deliver the engine's power to the pavement.
It's the classic sports-car arrangement—and one of the reasons the BRZ has always felt fundamentally different from the many front-wheel-drive performance cars in its price range.
Now combine that architecture with:
…and you have a car whose engineering is centered around driver involvement.
The factory equipment sheet confirms a mechanical limited-slip differential.
For a rear-wheel-drive performance car—especially one with added forced induction—that matters.
A limited-slip differential helps manage how torque is distributed between the rear wheels when traction conditions differ from side to side.
Instead of allowing power to escape as easily through the unloaded wheel, the differential helps the rear axle put power down more effectively.
It's part of what makes the BRZ feel so cohesive when driven enthusiastically.
The supercharger adds power.
The differential helps you use it.
This BRZ also features a 4.30 axle ratio, another important part of its responsive character.
A relatively aggressive final-drive ratio complements the six-speed manual by helping keep the car responsive through the gears.
On a stock BRZ, that's part of what gives the car its eager feel.
With the added supercharger, that gearing becomes even more interesting because the car can combine shorter gearing with additional forced-induction torque.
It's a recipe designed for interaction rather than effortless isolation.
Subaru didn't build the BRZ like an ordinary compact car.
Its chassis features:
The double-wishbone rear suspension is particularly appropriate for a sports coupe, helping provide precise rear-wheel control while maintaining the predictable chassis behavior the BRZ is known for.
The goal was never merely to create grip.
It was to create communication.
This Limited rides on factory 17 x 7-inch black alloy wheels with a machined finish, wrapped in 215/45R17 summer performance tires according to its original equipment specification.
That relatively modest wheel size is part of what keeps the BRZ light on its feet.
Rather than relying on enormous wheels and oversized tires to manufacture performance, Subaru focused on balance, feedback, and predictable handling.
It's a philosophy that fits this car beautifully.
Step inside and the Limited trim immediately feels more special than a stripped-down sports coupe.
The factory interior is finished in Black Alcantara upholstery with leather and red stitching, including a red embroidered BRZ logo.
Interior highlights include:
It's a compact cockpit—and that's part of the appeal.
You sit low.
The controls are close.
The shifter is directly beside you.
The tachometer matters.
Everything feels designed around driving rather than simply occupying the car.
The Limited specification adds heated performance-design front bucket seats, giving this enthusiast-focused coupe a welcome layer of everyday comfort.
The driver's seat includes height adjustment, while both front seats incorporate rear-seat easy-entry functionality.
That's one of the qualities that makes the BRZ such an appealing sports car.
It can feel focused without being punishing.
Use it during the week.
Enjoy the heated seats on a cold morning.
Then take the longer route home simply because there are a few more corners that way.
This example was also equipped with Subaru's STARLINK 7.0-inch Multimedia Navigation System.
Technology includes:
For a sports coupe whose basic mechanical philosophy is intentionally traditional, the BRZ still gives you the modern connectivity expected from a 2020 vehicle.
Unlike many cars where navigation was left to a smartphone, this Limited includes an integrated navigation system with voice activation, real-time traffic information, and the upgraded STARLINK multimedia interface.
It's another indication that this wasn't configured as a bare-bones BRZ.
The original buyer combined the enthusiast options with convenience and technology.
This BRZ was ordered with the Auto-Dimming Mirror with Compass and HomeLink®, originally a $377 factory accessory package.
It's a useful premium touch, especially in an otherwise performance-focused cabin.
HomeLink gives compatible garage-door functionality, while the auto-dimming mirror helps reduce glare during nighttime driving.
Subaru also fitted this example with the Red Footwell Illumination Kit, originally priced at $227.
It's a small detail—but one perfectly suited to the rest of the cabin.
Red stitching.
Red BRZ embroidery.
Red footwell illumination.
At night, those touches give the cockpit a subtle performance atmosphere without becoming excessive.
This BRZ received several other factory accessories when new:
Those additions helped raise the car's original $28,845 MSRP to a $31,137 original retail price including destination.
Finished in Magnetite Gray Metallic, this BRZ carries a darker, more understated personality than the bright colors often associated with the platform.
Exterior features include:
The gray paint lets the coupe's proportions do the talking.
Long hood.
Low roofline.
Compact rear deck.
Wide, planted stance.
It looks like exactly what it is: a purpose-built rear-wheel-drive sports car.
The BRZ's driver-focused personality is backed by a collection of safety systems including:
The technology is there when you need it without dominating the driving experience.
In factory form, the original equipment sheet lists EPA estimates of:
21 MPG City
29 MPG Highway
Because this example has an aftermarket supercharger, actual fuel economy can differ depending on the exact system, calibration, supporting modifications, driving habits, and boost use.
And realistically—
once you hear the supercharger and start working through that STI short-throw shifter, fuel economy probably isn't the first thing on your mind.
When new, this BRZ was already thoughtfully equipped:
Base MSRP: $28,845
Rear Bumper Applique: $99
Chrome Fuel Door Cover: $107
STI Short-Throw Shifter: $501
Auto-Dimming Mirror with Compass & HomeLink: $377
Red Footwell Illumination: $227
Cargo Tray: $81
Original Shipping Charge: $900
And that number was before the aftermarket forced-induction upgrade now fitted to the car.
The factory BRZ has always been about balance.
Low weight.
Rear-wheel drive.
Manual transmission.
Limited-slip differential.
Low center of gravity.
A chassis that rewards precision instead of simply overpowering the road.
The supercharger adds another dimension.
You still get the chassis.
You still get the manual gearbox.
You still get the limited-slip differential.
You still get the communication.
But now there's forced induction waiting when you press the throttle.
And that changes everything.
