Subaru has announced yet another limited
edition of the North American 2020 WRX and WRX STI models at the LA Auto Show,
this time it’s the new Series White series. The new limited edition of Subaru’s all-wheel drive performance sedans feature
an exclusive Ceramic White exterior paint finish over matte bronze wheels and a
long list of kit offered as standard equipment. Production will be
limited to 500 examples for the WRX and another 500 for the WRX STI, with both
to arrive at US dealers early next year.
The new WRX Series White builds on the WRX
Premium, including the Performance Package that adds ultrasuede Recaro seats, a
sunroof delete for less weight and the bigger Brembo braking system. In
addition, the 2020 Subaru WRX Series White comes with a high-performance
Bilstein suspension, LED steering responsive headlights, LED fog lights,
keyless access and matt black badging among other.
Power still comes from a turbocharged
2.0-liter flat-four unit producing 268 HP and 258 lb-ft of torque and paired to
a six-speed manual transmission. The new Subaru WRX Series White is priced from US$ 34,895, including a US$ 900 destination and delivery fee.
The more focused WRX STI Series White gets
the same exterior treatment, only the wheels are forged BBS items measuring
19-inch in diameter -instead of the WRX’s 18-inch wheels. The powertrain also
remains the same, meaning a 310 HP turbocharged 2.5-liter flat-four engine paired
to a six-speed manual and the company’s Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive with active
torque vectoring.
The chassis of the new WRX STI Series
White however has been given a few upgrades, including a Bilstein STI-tuned
suspension, new heavy-duty steering rack mounts for better response and feel,
and stickier Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires. The brakes are also from Brembo,
featuring six-piston calipers up front.
Inside the cabin of the latest special WRX
STI we find black ultrasuede Recaro seats with carbon black leather bolsters, a
leather-wrapped steering wheel with red stitching and more. Prices for the new
2020 Subaru WRX STI Series White start from US$ 43,595, including a US$ 900
destination and delivery fee.
