In response to demand from enthusiasts and professional teams, Subaru Australia is importing a limited number of WRX STI motorsport cars for use in rallying.
The four-door 2.0-litre turbocharged cars come from a winning pedigree in rally and tarmac events worldwide.
Dubbed WRX STI NR4 Spec, the cars are FIA-homologated and are eligible for the World and European rally championships, and for regional and national championships around the world.
Additionally, long-term motorsport partner, Possum Bourne Motor Sport, is developing a range of packages for these vehicles that will suit everyone from club amateur to the professional.
“This is great news for rallying, particularly in Australia and New Zealand,” RallySport Magazine editor, Peter Whitten, said.
“Subaru’s following in the motorsport world reached fever-pitch in the 1990s and 2000s when Possum Bourne and Cody Crocker dominated the local rally scene.
“That popularity has not diminished, and rally fans in this part of the world will be thrilled to see Subaru and Possum Bourne Motor Sport cars back on the stages.”
Subaru Australia Managing Director, Nick Senior, says current production WRX and WRX STI have taken interest in these turbocharged legends back to the peak levels we saw in the late 1990s.
“These cars represent fantastic value for motorsport enthusiasts that want the amazing All-Wheel Drive advantage that has made WRX such a legend over the past 20 plus years,” Senior said.
The WRX STI NR4 Specs are available for motorsport use-only and cannot be road registered – buyers need to fit an FIA-approved roll cage, which can be ordered at the time of purchase for fitting pre-delivery.
Two colours – white and WR Blue are available.
