Subaru has announced the specification and pricing of the new limited edition Impreza WRX Club Spec 9.

Priced at $44,490 recommended retail price, the comprehensive package includes chassis, driveline, exterior and interior upgrades – adding more performance, styling and luxury to the already iconic Impreza WRX.

New 18-inch wheels and tyres provide a sharper, sportier feel and when teamed with the STI suspension kit lowers the car by 15 mm, giving a more aggressive stance.

Handling is refined through an increased spring rate and a lower centre of gravity. Aerodynamic efficiency is enhanced with the addition of an STI front lip spoiler. Crafted in a matt black semi gloss finish, this tough but lightweight addition improves both stability and cornering.

Adding to the sporty feel is a short shift gear lever, featuring a more rigid & direct shift feeling, incorporating reinforced bushes, a shortened shifting stroke and STI aluminium shift knob.

Inside comfort levels are paramount with leather trim and an electric sunroof fitted as standard.

Nick Senior, Managing Director, Subaru Australia said: "This Club Spec is our best yet. It delivers enormous customer value and it will be a very quick seller."

Only 300 vehicles will be sold and are available as a manual sedan in WR Blue or Obsidian Black. A unique CS9 Club Spec grille badge has been designed for this special edition vehicle.

UPDATE: Be quick, not many CS9's left.  
With its unique blend of power, performance and enhanced street styling, the highly anticipated Impreza WRX Club Spec 9 is a potent addition to the award winning series. At first, its sexy athletic body catches your eye. Whilst the aerodynamic front lip spoiler draws you in, your head goes into a spin over the 18" alloy wheels. Then the lowered suspension gets your heart racing. You need to sit down; gather your thoughts. Inside, the smell of plush leather upholstery surrounds you. You start the engine but it’s you that’s being turned on. Sliding back the sunroof you try to catch your breath.

Too late. The Award winning 2.5-litre turbocharged Boxer engine entices your foot to the accelerator. In no time you’re cruising along the asphalt in fifth gear, loving the incredible handling difference of Subaru’s All-Wheel Drive system. A corner fast approaches and you take it, perfectly.

As you engage the ABS brakes and come to a complete stop, you realise there’s no going back now. You’re completely and utterly obsessed.
