Australian Subaru owners now have something new to spot and pick out on the roads when they're out shopping; the special edition 2008 Subaru Liberty GT. The Liberty, known elsewhere as the Legacy, will only total 250 production units specific to the Aussie market.
The special Liberty GT, which will be tuned by STI utilizing most of their own performance parts, will feature 260bhp and 350Nm of torque from 6,000rpm and 2,800rpm respectively. Suspension upgrades include custom Blistein shocks paired with STI 5mm lowering springs, and braking is managed by black Brembo 4-pot calipers in front and 2-pot calipers in the rear coupled with stainless steel brake lines. Enkei will be providing the limited run production with 18" 12-spoke wheels which will be lighter than the stock Liberty GT wheels by 2.5kgs each.
Aesthetics are improved by means of an exclusive front grille install, redesigned muffler, and lip spoilers on the front bumper and rear boot lid to reduce lift and improve the aerodynamics. The interior is also properly dressed with leather and alcantara adorning the front seats with cherry red STI logo and stitching.
Sedan and wagon variants will both be available with either a 6-speed manual or 5-speed SPORTSHIFT auto transmission. Choice of colours include black, silver, grey, and white.
