This Is The Most Expensive New Subaru Ever Made-November 2024

Image for article titled This Is The Most Expensive New Subaru Ever Made

With only 209 being made, you’re fairly unlikely to ever see the new on the road. But if you do, know that whoever wanted this 341 horsepower super Subaru paid a lot of coin for it: $63,995, not including the $885 destination charge.

The , limited-edition sedan is now said to be the most expensive Subaru ever offered in America—about $25,000 more than the base price on a regular WRX STI. It’s also more than $10,000 more than the old RA, though it finally brings the power gains people expected from that car.

It’s a lot! But you know some Subaru die-hards will go after this thing, and I do hope they drive it rather than stick it in a garage until it’s time to go on Bring a Trailer.

After all, the S209 seems to be a hell of a car. It comes with serious upgrades in power, handling, aero, brakes and more over a standard STI, which despite its age is still no slouch.

You get 341 HP and 330 lb-ft of torque, a claimed top speed of 162 mph, a unique aero setup, a wider body with functional side vents for cooling, Brembo brakes with cross-drilled steel rotors, reinforcements to the front cross member and rear subframes, a new high-flow fuel pump, larger fuel injectors and more.

Subaru has said 81 of these cars will be delivered in Crystal White Pearl on matte gold wheels, and the other 128 will be World Rally Blue with matte gray wheels.

You gonna get one?

If you have some extra cash burning a hole in your pocket the next time you’re at the Hertz rental counter, and simply upgrading from “Ford Focus or similar” to “Chevrolet Malibu or similar” won’t give you the thrills you were after, consider this instead: a 750 horsepower Chevrolet...

The 2020 Karma Revero GT Sounds Like A Flying Saucer That's Been Pummeled By Asteroids
The Karma Revero GT, which you might have called the “Karma Revero” or the “Fisker Karma” in the past, will have a new setup powering it in 2020. Because that setup leans heavily electric, the powertrain of silence, the Revero will also feature some fake “engine” noise in order...

On GM's UAW Picket Line, No Backing Down As Workers Fight Back Against Income Inequality
Hamtramck and Flint, Mich., are still very much company towns, to the point where you spend a lot of time just driving in large arching curves around the plants at the core of each of these communities. For over a week now, these places have been buzzing with apprehension. But...

Donald Trump Doesn't Know Shit About Cars
Right off the bat, I’d like to remind everybody that’s considering banging out angry emails about “politics” and “bias” that I think it’s important to revisit the idea that powerful politicians don’t know shit about cars because, A. they don’t and 2., they make policies based on not knowing...

I was just on a trip to drive a Jeep Gladiator over a bunch of rocks (more on that soon) and while at the aerodrome to board my airship, I happened to notice one of the tugs used to drag planes around. This tug caught my eye because, unlike...
