Subaru WRX STI TC380 announced in Japan
New limited edition model may have up to 280kW of power
The Subaru WRX STI TC380, the latest in a long line of limited-edition WRX models, has gone on sale in Japan.
According to the Fuji Subaru car dealership, the TC380 was developed under the supervision of Toshihiro Arai, a former driver with the Subaru World Rally Team.
Unfortunately, the company has yet to launch the car's promised mini-site, so the only image we have of the TC380 is its badge.
The WRX STI TC380 is based on the Japanese WRX STI, so it most likely features a 2.0-litre turbocharged flat-four engine. Although it has yet to be confirmed, the car's name suggests it will have around 380PS (279kW) of power.
Key modifications include a number of HKS components, including the tuner's GT III RS Sport turbine kit, Super Turbo muffler, and metal catalyser.
Other changes include a new front suspension brace and RQA air filter made by Arai Motorsports, as well as specifically-designed Recaro seats and a carbon-fibre boot lip spoiler.
The car is available to order in Japan. Prices start from ¥4,965,840 ($62,255) including taxes, with production limited to 50 units.
Like other recent limited-edition WRX models, such as the WRX STI Type RA-R, we expect the TC380 will be a Japan-exclusive model.
