Subaru BRZ overtakes Mustang as Australia's best-selling sports car

Ford's famous 'pony' car has been unrivalled in the segment since the sixth-generation version had its first full year on sale in 2016.

With Mustang stocks virtually depleted with a new-generation model (pictured below) due in the second quarter of 2024, the BRZ overtook the Ford coupe/cabriolet in November.

Ford says there's «literally just a handful» of outgoing Mustangs left in Australia, suggesting the BRZ can't be caught with just December remaining.

BMW's 2 Series is highly unlikely to catch the BRZ, trailing the BRZ and Mustang with 1066 sales so far in 2023.

“Sharper and more focused” BRZ tS to headline sports car range in Australia in 2024

Toyota's twin to the BRZ, the GR 86, is the fourth most popular sports car with 1053 sales between January and November.

The 86 has traditionally outsold the BRZ since the nameplates were launched in 2012 and it was Australia's best-selling sports car between 2013 and 2015, before the arrival of the Mustang.

The BRZ outsold the 86 in 2022 – the year both models were released in second-generation guise – though the Subaru launched several months earlier.

In 2024 the BRZ range will add a new 'tS' (tuned by STI) variant.
