Subaru will be giving something back to their domestic market in the form of the WRX S4 STI Sport #. The company will produce the model in limited quantities, with just 500 planned for release starting the 20th of August 2020. Every single one of these have been sold.
The WRX S4 STI Sport # is both a performance and cosmetic upgrade of the standard WRX with STI parts.
To quote Subaru themselves, “the “WRX S4 STI Sport #” is a model that maximizes STI Sport’s “high-quality running and high texture” by adopting special equipment such as STI parts and performing special tuning.” What is “high texture”? You’ll probably need to take a retreat to Hokkaido to find out.
Here’s what Subaru have done exactly with the WRX S4 STI Sport #.
