In its 40th anniversary year – and 20 years since the original turbocharged ‘pocket rocket’ WRX went on sale in Japan – Subaru Australia has launched the last of its current generation WRX special editions, the RS40.
Priced at $44,490 manufacturer’s list price (MLP), the all-wheel drive WRX RS40 adds more than $7000 of value-packed features that pay tribute to Subaru’s motorsport heritage.
WRX RS40 is available for pre-order now and will be in showrooms from the end of August.
Subaru managing director, Nick Senior, says: “This feature-packed special edition makes a direct visual link to the original World Rally Blue WRXs that did so much to grow Subaru’s performance credentials, globally.
“WR Blue remains a customer favourite colour in the WRX palette, so it’s entirely fitting that this last-in-line special edition of the current car carries the famous blue and gold combination.”
He adds: “WRX has always been a winner for customers in the retained value stakes and the special editions in particular give it even more cache, so with only 300 of these available, we anticipate high demand.”
