Description
2009 Subaru Impreza WRX STI Spec C | 1 of Only 90 Sunrise Yellow Cars | Freshly Imported | Standard Example
A rare opportunity to own one of the most sought-after modern Subaru performance cars ever produced. This 2009 Subaru Impreza WRX STI Spec C is one of just 90 examples finished in the iconic Sunrise Yellow, making it one of the rarest GR-generation STIs ever built.
Designed by Subaru Tecnica International as a lighter, sharper and more focused version of the already legendary WRX STI, the Spec C was engineered with motorsport in mind. Featuring numerous factory enhancements to the engine, chassis and body, it delivers an exceptionally engaging driving experience while remaining remarkably usable on the road.
This example remains in standard factory specification, including the original ECU calibration and factory speed limiter, making it an increasingly rare find for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
Mileage: 106,319 km (66,064 miles)

Factory Spec C Enhancements
Unlike a standard WRX STI, the Spec C was developed specifically to improve response, handling and reduce weight.
Highlights include:
Ball-bearing twin-scroll turbocharger for faster spool and improved throttle response.
Bespoke ECU calibration.
Reinforced front suspension crossmember.
Revised springs, dampers and anti-roll bars.
Mechanical rear limited-slip differential.
Increased power steering flow for sharper steering feel.
Lightweight aluminium bonnet.
Reduced vehicle weight through lighter glass and battery.
Exclusive lightweight alloy wheels.
Intercooler water spray for consistent performance under prolonged hard driving.
These improvements make the Spec C one of the most rewarding and capable Subaru models ever produced.
A Future Classic
As unmodified Spec C models continue to disappear, genuinely original examples such as this are becoming increasingly difficult to source.
Finished in one of Subaru's rarest colours and presented in factory specification, this represents an outstanding opportunity for collectors and driving enthusiasts alike.
