rally animal survived in Australia

The image of the meeting of the 90s and 2000s is not dead, it lives in the United States and Australia with a large wing.

For more than 30 years, the Subaru Impreza sports sedan and its STI and WRX versions have left their mark. In 2016, the fifth version of the Japanese company calmed down and abandoned the sports preference by setting a maximum power of 156 hp while its predecessors produced more than twice that.

But let’s not bury the story too quickly, even if in Europe, because of the ecological penalty, it is not about to go back to the front, this will not be the case in Australia.. The 2024 Subaru WRX Club Special Edition will be available there but only for 150 units. A limited edition celebrating the WRX logo’s 30th anniversary in Australia.

Good caudal fin

This is a strong variant recognized by its large trunk-mounted spoiler. Exclusive accessory to the Club Special editionthe latter makes a clever nod to heyday STDs.

The only official photo with the beautiful blue livery shows the car on 19-inch rims shod with 245/35 R19 Bridgestone Potenza S007 tires, hiding the red brake pads. They clamp Brembo discs with a diameter of 340 mm at the front and 326 mm at the rear.

Four-wheel drive and 6-speed manual transmission

On the other hand, despite these “caudal fins”, Subaru Impreza WRX Club Spec uses the standard WRX engine, which is a turbo four-cylinder block with a volume of 2.4 liters and a power of 275 hp with a torque value of 350 Nm.

Riders go down through brand-specific all-wheel drive via a six-speed manual gearbox. The optional CVT Lineartronic continuously variable transmission is not offered on the Club Special. picture
