22nd August, 2006
Subaru has announced the specification and pricing
of the new limited edition Impreza WRX Club Spec 9.
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.
Nick Senior, Managing Director, Subaru Australia said: “This Club Spec is our
best yet. It delivers enormous customer value and it will be a very quick
seller.”
Only 300 vehicles will be sold and are available as a manual sedan in WR Blue
or Obsidian Black. A unique CS9 Club Spec grille badge has been designed for
this special edition vehicle.
They are on sale now.
