The Iron Wing...

2011 Subaru WRX STi (GRB) Spec C

2011 Subaru WRX STi (GVB) tS

No, they're not made of iron, but these two special edition, Japan-only, WRX STi models truly have a iron heart inside.

First off, the Subaru WRX STi GRB returned the special edition Spec C by popular demand. The WRX STi Spec C looks like an ordinary WRX STi, only extraordinary because of its reduced weight, extraordinary front bumper, and a 2.0L 16-valve Dual AVCS twin scroll turbo which has the same power output as the normal WRX STi. It offers two rim sizes (from 17-inch to 18-inch) and its available only in 5 door hatchback form.

For the 4-door sedan, the WRX STi GVB and GVF received an exclusive limited-edition WRX STi tS. The term "tS" stands for "tuned by STi" and the WRX STi (GVB) and the WRX STi A-Line (GVF) is armed with the carbon roof. A Carbon Roof? Awesome but where's the wing? This somewhat be redundant but the carbon roof on the WRX STi 4-door looks fine to me.

Those Subaru fanatics living in Japan finally had something for this Christmas season; two souped up special edition WRX STi variants, but those special editions won't last long!
