Subaru Marks 60,000 WRX Sales With Limited Club Spec Evo

Sixty thousand WRXs in Australia. That is not a typo, and Subaru thinks it deserves a party, so it built something a bit special: the WRX AWD Club Spec Evo, a 75-car salute to the rally-bred brat that refuses to grow up.
It arrives in a colour called Sunrise Yellow, which is loud enough to wake the neighbours and polite enough to be legally sold. The Club Spec Evo is built on the tS Spec B and wears 19-inch matte black wheels and subtle side decals, so it looks like it means business without shouting look at me in all caps.
Under the skin it is unapologetically analogue. There is only one transmission option, a six-speed manual, because some people still believe shifting gears is the whole point of owning a performance car. Subaru has not softened it with extra driver aids or automatic excuses; this is for drivers who want a car that pushes back.
Focused Inside And Out
Inside are proper RECARO sports bucket seats trimmed in Ultrasuede and leather-look accents, black and yellow for those who like their interiors to have opinions. Yellow contrast stitching runs across the dash and centre console, and each car gets an interior badge with its own number so owners can feel uniquely smug.
The car keeps the WRX’s Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, which means it will still do what WRXs do best: take corners like it has an agenda and traction like it has a plan. The Club Spec Evo is clearly aimed at enthusiasts rather than bargain hunters.
Practicalities And Performance
Price? A not-absurd $63,190. Availability? Strictly 75 cars for Australia. Order? Through Subaru retailers. In short, this is a limited-edition toy for adults who take driving seriously and fashion less so.
If you want a WRX that stands out in a carpark and behaves like it enjoys being driven, this is your ticket. If you prefer automatic everything and quiet upholstery, there are still plenty of other cars to politely ignore.
