Press Release
Subaru will release the special edition Impreza WRX Club Spec 9 in late August, the newest addition to its performance stable.
The car features a variety of mechanical and cosmetic refinements and includes factory-fitted sunroof and leather trim as standard.
Nick Senior, Managing Director, Subaru Australia, said the Club Spec 9 is the latest Impreza WRX to get a valued-added package – a trend that has proved popular with customers and is reflected in retained values.
“Our previous special edition Impreza WRXs have each proved winners, with specification that clearly differentiates them from the standard cars and the 9 is no exception.
“ Just 300 Club Spec 9s will be built, all featuring Subaru’s Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive and the same turbocharged boxer engine that recently won an International Engine of the Year award.”
Priced at $44,490 recommended retail price, the comprehensive package includes chassis, driveline, exterior and interior upgrades – adding more performance, styling and luxury to the already iconic Impreza WRX.
New 18-inch wheels and tyres provide a sharper, sportier feel and when teamed with the STI suspension kit lowers the car by 15 mm, giving a more aggressive stance.
Handling is refined through an increased spring rate and a lower centre of gravity.
Aerodynamic efficiency is enhanced with the addition of an STI front lip spoiler. Crafted in a matt black semi gloss finish, this tough but lightweight addition improves both stability and cornering.
Adding to the sporty feel is a short shift gear lever, featuring a more rigid & direct shift feeling, incorporating reinforced bushes, a shortened shifting stroke and STI aluminium shift knob.
Inside comfort levels are paramount with leather trim and an electric sunroof fitted as standard.
