Impreza V-Limited is back!



To commemorate the Petter Solberg's 2003 WRC driver's title, Subaru introduced special edition Imprezas, "WRX 2003 V-Limited" and "WRX STi 2003 V-Limited" in Japan. STi v-limited is a limited edition model WRX STi and 555 of them will be produced. Special features includes special suspention, suretrac front/clutch type rear LSDs, front under spoiler, roof vent, aluminum shift
****, special decals and emblems. The suspention is tuned by PWRC driver Toshihiro Arai and it is 4 way adjustable dambers with 15mm lowering springs. WRX v-limited is available till the end of March in Japan. It comes with body pieces from WRX STi (except the hood scoop), front under spoiler, and 17 inch gold RAYS wheels. Interior is same as STi with blue seats and door panels, except the STi logo on the seat is removed. V-limited appeared in GC8 WRX STi ver2, ver3 and ver4 in the past when
Colin McRae was winning in WRC with Subaru. We'll hope to see more v-limited in the future.

Yeah, too bad it isn't coming to America, but oh well, we'll just have to be contented with our 2.5L STi.

it is just a popup vent like the sti type ra has. its flush when its closed. sti has a roof scoop to go over it too.
