Here’s the special-edition Subaru WRX STI you can’t have
Subaru’s South African division has celebrated the 30th anniversary of STI with this special edition. It is called the WRX STI Diamond Edition, and you probably can’t have it.
Because Subaru South Africa is only building it for, um, South Africa, and only 30 are planned. So here’s what you won’t get.
You won’t get a boosted 2.5-liter four-cylinder boxer engine with 348hp and 463Nm of torque, nor the special performance exhaust and ECU remap.
You also won’t get a 0-100kph time of 5.03sec—seven-tenths faster than the standard WRX STI available in South Africa—or a quarter-mile time of 13.7sec and top speed of 254kph.
Other goodies include Brembo calipiers, 20mm spaces for a wider stance, an STI engine brace, and a yellow spoiler kit that runs the front splitter, side skirts, and rear diffuser.
Nice.
