Subaru’s special edition Model Year 2008 Liberty GT tuned by STI has been released featuring multiple upgrades from the Subaru Tecnica International catalogue.

With an enhanced power output of 194 kW at 6000 rpm and 350 Nm of torque at 2800 rpm, this locally tuned variant also features STI suspension upgrades and interior treatments.

Bilstein shock absorbers, featuring damping ratios unique to STI, enhance stroke feeling, linear control and produce a flatter ride.

The rear suspension kit contains partial ball bearing-jointed bushes, suppressing suspension friction to achieve high lateral rigidity, further improving road holding. STI springs lower the car by 5mm.

Brembo brakes (four pot front, two pot rear) are painted black, complementing the sports styling. A stainless steel mesh-type brake hose is added, enhancing response and ensuring high braking performance.

12-spoke, 18-inch ENKEI wheels with STI badging are 2.5 kilograms lighter than standard Liberty GT wheels and are available in a new colour – luminosity silver.

The front grille treatment is unique to the model as is exterior “tuned by STI” badging.

Front lip and rear boot STI spoilers suppress lift, improve aerodynamics and increase stability when driving at speed. A sports muffler with new tip design completes the exterior upgrades.

Inside, leather and alcantara front seats feature a cherry red STI logo. Designed with a balance of firmness and suppleness they provide support and reduce fatigue during long distance driving.

An eight-way power driver’s seat with memory settings is also featured.

The instrument cluster includes the speedometer featuring STI logo and new STI sill plates are used on all door openings.

Vehicles are available in sedan and wagon, six-speed manual and five-speed SPORTSHIFT automatic variants, in a choice of black, silver, grey and white.

Recommended retail pricing:

Manual sedan    $65,990
SPORTSHIFT automatic sedan  $65,990
Manual wagon    $67,990
SPORTSHIFT automatic wagon  $67,990
Dealer delivery and statutory charges are additional.

Only 250 Liberty tuned by STI vehicles will be built.
