The good news for those who want to burn some money on a set of hot wheels is that Subaru has unwrapped a new special edition of its Impreza STI sport sedan called the S206. The bad news is that only 300 will be built, but all cars will be available only in Japan.

Subaru advertised as "the crown of STI tuned cars," the new Impreza WRX STI S206 following previous versions "S" as S203, S204 and S205.

So it's special for a new model of the TSI? Well, starter batteries, S206 uses the exclusive Bilstein shock absorbers, coil springs STi, flexible, front tower bar and draw a reinforcement, which promise to improve response accuracy and speed of the car when cornering.

Under the bonnet, engineers have perfected the STi turbo flat-four, the weight balance between optimization of the pistons, connecting rods and crankshaft to enhance the feeling rev.

Not only that, since the 2.0-liter also gains to be ECU, upgraded twin-scroll turbocharger and reduced exhaust system pressures, which help to increase production 320HP and 431 Nm (318 lb-ft).

Subaru also claims that the S206 is faster and the response of the throttle delivers more low-end torque and mid-range offer better maneuverability.

The lower front spoiler and front grille, side skirts and a rear spoiler than it was designed exclusively for S206 helps to improve the aerodynamics and to distinguish normal from sexually transmitted diseases, and the exclusive leather steering wheel, Recaro seats with red seat belts and STI designed to push the motor switch to complete the changes.
