Subaru brings out halo model

As a celebration of 30 years of STi, Subaru Southern Africa has introduced the 2019 Subaru WRX STi Diamond Edition, a halo model in the Subaru performance line-up.

Developed by the technical team at Subaru Southern Africa, the Diamond Edition is exclusive to the region and only 30 numbered vehicles will be sold.

The main objective in creating the WRX STi Diamond Edition was to increase the power and performance of the vehicle but also to ensure the car remained a pleasure to drive on a daily basis.

The increase in power has been achieved through a remapping of the car’s electronic control unit and the fitment of a performance exhaust system. The 2.5 litre, high-boost turbocharged Boxer engine’s power is now a feisty 260kW at 4 500rpm and doles out 464Nm of torque at 4,000rpm.

Pre-orders started this month through selected Subaru dealerships with deliveries of the car programmed for January 2019. Pricing is set at R799 000. – Own Correspondent
