The choice of rally legend will be determined by the customer’s location, with city and state taken into consideration.
Subaru Australia General Manager, Blair Read, said: “We’re getting towards the last in line for fourth gen STI, which has served us so well since launch in 2014.
“It’s the car that underpinned Molly Taylor’s 2016 win in the Australian Rally Championship, which is an indication of its fantastic credentials as a capable performance car.
“This final edition pays tribute to an engine and chassis combo that have earned their stripes in both competition and on road as an adrenaline-pumping, fun drive.”
