The Japanese kanji symbol 轟 for ‘Todoroki’ means ‘roar’ but also translates to ‘well-known’ or ‘famous’ which all adds up to this WRX exuding some serious x-factor. Subaru’s limited edition WRX Todoroki certainly stands out with its stunning WR Blue hue.
Subaru are celebrating 30 years of WRX with a new special edition model, the Todoroki, that is coming to New Zealand in November.
The Subaru WRX symbolises power and recognition, says the company. Its signature Boxer engine’s rumble echoes the kanji’s meaning of a thunderous roar, while its global presence cements it as a well-known icon in the automotive world, they say.
Priced at $64,990 RRP*, only ten of these special editions will ever reach New Zealand and will be available in sedan only, with six-speed manual transmission. These ten vehicles will be available exclusively in the colour WR Blue.
Subaru New Zealand’s General Manager Tim Barns-Lawton said: “With a legacy built on rally performance and thrilling drives, the WRX commands attention wherever it goes. Embodying the essence of Todoroki, it continues to resonate with car enthusiasts worldwide.”
“The Todoroki offers the core ingredients for a WRX special edition, with 19-inch wheels, Brembo brakes, Recaro seats, a presentation box numbered from 1 to 10 and an STI style rear spoiler. Limited to only ten units and only available in the iconic WR Blue, this is sure to be a very special limited edition.”
“As an added bonus, to celebrate the Subaru WRX’s 30th anniversary, customers who manage to get their hands on one of these limited-edition vehicles will also receive an exclusive STI watch. This special keepsake can remain with the WRX Todoroki purchaser to mark the 30 years of WRX.”
Subaru Corporation have taken the base model WRX, with a six-speed manual transmission (which is not available in New Zealand), and created the WRX Todoroki, with the following enhancements:
- Recaro front seats
- Matte Grey finish 19-inch alloy wheels with high performance Bridgestone Potenza S007 tyres
- 6-piston Brembo front brakes, 2-piston Brembo rear brakes
- Ventilated and drilled front and rear brake discs
- Specifically tuned steering and suspension, including dual-pinion electric power steering, and optimised suspension springs and dampers
- STI style rear spoiler
- Available in WR Blue only
- Presentation key box highlighting the rarity of this Todoroki model (e.g. 1/10, 2/10)
- To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the WRX, customers will be gifted an exclusive STI watch, valued at approximately $1,000 NZD
