Subaru has updated its WRX STI model line yet again with Australian buyers able to order a new limited-edition Club Spec WRX model.
Coming in either tangerine or black paint, just 300 of the Club Spec WRXs will be made. Upgrades to the special-edition car include leather interior trim, black-coated 17-inch alloy wheels and door mirrors, an STI spoiler, a blacked-out grille, and unique badging. Black cars will come with red interior stitching, while tangerine cars will have eye-searing orange stitching. The Club Spec WRX is available in sedan form and with the five-speed manual only.
Pricing for the Club Spec WRX starts at AU$41,490 (USD $42,349). An optional STI kit is also available for the Club Spec WRX, and is AU$1100 cheaper to order on the special-edition car than if a customer were to add it to a standard WRX. The kit includes a front lip under spoiler, a flexible tower bar, and a short-shift gear lever assembly.
In Japan, Subaru has expanded the availability of the WRX STI spec C model by adding a sedan bodystyle and dropped some minor content (like the rear fog light, rear wiper) in the name of weight savings. A new premium package has been added for the base WRX STI that includes leather upholstery, 18-inch lightweight alloy wheels, and a body-color rear trim garnish. The new high-performance A-Line type S Package now has a larger rear wing for four-door models, exclusive Alcantara and leather front bucket seats, 18-inch BBS-designed wheels, optional Recaro seats, and optional vented 17-inch Brembo brakes.
The Club Spec WRX will go on sale next month, but only in the Australian market, while the revised WRX STI, spec C, and A-Line type S all went on sale this month in Japan.
