Subaru is saying farewell to the current generation All-Wheel Drive WRX STI with a final special edition. Just 75 of the WRX STI EJ25 Final Edition models will be sold, each individually numbered.

EJ25 refers to the code of the current WRX STI 2.5-litre turbocharged engine – the last in line ahead of an all-new powerplant for the next generation. The EJ25 debuted in 2005, in the Model Year 2006 WRX STI.

Amongst many other special features, the limited-edition final model will gain EJ25 Final Edition badging, 19-inch BBS forged aluminium wheels, Silver Brembo brake calipers with STI logo, RECARO sports bucket front seats with silver highlights, Ultrasuede steering wheel, Red STI push-start button, and carbon fibre-look instrument panel decoration.

50 of the models will be available in WR Blue Pearl, 15 in Crystal White Pearl, and 10 in Crystal Black Silica.

The company said in a statement that for an additional $1,000 donation to the Australian Road Safety Foundation, online buyers will have the option of an individualised delivery experience, in which Subaru rally aces Molly Taylor, Cody Crocker, Mark Stacey or Dean Herridge can hand-over the vehicle at their home or office location.

30 of the final edition models will be available for sale online at www.subaru.com.au, with the balance through the 24-strong STI network nationally. The WRX STI EJ25 Final Edition is priced from $62,440 (Manufacturer’s List Price).
