For many enthusiasts, owning a limited edition Subaru WRX STI is a captivating fantasy. Unfortunately, US Subaru fans don’t often get the chance to realize this dream. However, there are incredible limited-edition Subarus being released in Japan that we can admire. One such model is the new S208 WRX STI, which boasts a range of upgrades in performance, interior, and exterior design, making it truly stand out.
In contrast to most US limited edition vehicles that typically feature minor modifications like exterior accents and the occasional cat-back exhaust, it is exciting to see Japanese automakers putting substantial effort into their vehicles. The S208 is set to deliver 324 horsepower, an increase of 19 horsepower from the standard 305 found in the 2018 Subaru WRX STI. Notable features include a redesigned front fascia, Recaro seats, a carbon-fiber rear spoiler, and a reduced center of gravity provided by a carbon-fiber roof. Beyond aesthetic enhancements, the S208 comes equipped with active torque vectoring, DampMatic II front suspension, and adjustable dampers.
Unsurprisingly, dedicated Subaru fans will be eager to get their hands on this model. Subaru has decided to limit production to just 450 units. Once orders surpass this limit, a lottery system will determine the fortunate 450 owners of this exclusive vehicle.
