Japan-Only Special: Subaru Legacy STI S402
OTA, Japan — Subaru takes the Legacy to new heights with a new limited-edition STI model that will never be available in the States.
Both sedan and wagon versions will be sold, equipped with the well-known Subaru turbocharged 2.5-liter boxer engine that lays down 282 horsepower and 289 pound-feet of torque. This family car on steroids includes a variety of upgrades to spice up performance capability.
Bilstein shocks and springs stiffen up the suspension and combine with wider front fenders, huge Brembo brakes, a 13:1 reduced steering ratio and Bridgestone Potenza tires on 18-inch BBS wheels.
Aesthetically speaking, the STI S402 has a subtle body kit that features a carbon-fiber splitter in the front that combines with an already dropped suspension for a sporty stance. Interior modifications include new gauges, an aluminum shift knob and a Momo steering wheel.
It goes on sale June 27, starting at the U.S. equivalent of $51,167 for the sedan and $52,471 for the wagon. Subaru is only producing a total of 402 copies of both models.
