Subaru WRX Club Spec returns

A limited-edition Club Spec variant will return to the Subaru WRX line-up from April, again bringing a range of sporty upgrades.

Subaru Australia has for now revealed only a single indicative image of the 2024 WRX Club Spec SE sedan that will reintroduce a badge last used in 2020 with the then outgoing fourth-generation 'Rex'.

The Club Spec will again be limited to 150 units, though the image is otherwise the only clue to what to expect until more details are released.

Red Brembo brake calipers are clearly visible, repeating one of the extra features of the previous Club Spec.

The dark alloys with an intricate double-Y-spoke design are also new to the WRX range, while there's no missing the STI-style rear wing for the latest iteration of the famous performance sedan.

Cabin upgrades can also be expected considering the last Club Spec ramped up the sportiness with Recaro sports seats, STI steering wheel in ultrasuede, and a carbonfibre-look instrument panel.

As with the previous Club Spec, no changes are expected to the 202kW/350Nm 2.4-litre turbocharged four-cylinder 'boxer' engine.

The 2020 WRX Club Spec was priced from $47,990, $7500 above the entry point to the WRX range. The current WRX, launched in 2022, starts from $45,990 in sedan form, or $50,990 in wagon form, though the Club Spec is anticipated for the former only.

Unlike 2020, a more powerful WRX STI variant is not currently offered.
