Subaru will soon release a special edition version of its red-hot
Legacy STI model. Limited to about a thousand units, the
Subaru Legacy STI S402 will be manufactured in both wagon and sport sedan versions and will be sold only in Japan. Damn.
The vehicle sports the same 2.5-liter twin-scroll turbocharged four-banger as the
Legacy WRX STI does. The engine is mated to a six-speed manual transmission also featuring
SI-DRIVE system allowing for adjustment of the front-rear power bias making the car more suitable for a given road.
The
Subaru Legacy STI S402 comes equipped with Bilstein suspension, large six-pot front and two-pot rear Brembo brakes, electroluminescent gauges and a MOMO steering wheel.
The
S402's fenders are widened by 20mm to make more room for the 18-inch BBS wheels fitted with Bridgestone Potenza RE050A performance tires.
The car will go on sale on June 27th at a price of about $51,000 for the sedan. The
Subaru Legacy STI S402 in a wagon body will be available at some $52,500.
