Special 2026 Subaru WRX Blub Spec Evo is coming
Yellow special edition is a GC8 callback celebrating 60,000 WRX sales Down UnderThe News
Subaru Australia has officially sold 60,000 WRXs and to celebrate, has revealed the very yellow and very limited Club Spec Evo, with prices starting from $63,190 plus on-road costs.
The Key Details
- 2026 Subaru WRX Blub Spec Evo announced for Australia
- Limited to 75 units, all manuals
- Based on the focussed tS Spec B
- Defined by yellow paint and interior appointments
- Costs $63,190 plus ORCs
The Finer Details
Reviving one of the most iconic nameplates and colourways in WRX history, the Club Spec Evo is essentially a ‘Sunrise Yellow’ version of the existing tS Spec B with a few matching yellow appointments within the cabin and some unique badging.
The interior highlights extend to the seats, yellow contrast stitching and an individually numbered Club Spec Evo build plate – the rest of the spec sheet matches the tS Spec B: Recaro bucket seats, dual-zone climate control, Ultrasuede and leather upholstery, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and power adjustment for the driver’s seat.
Contrasting against the yellow paint are matte black 19-inch wheels, behind which lurk gold Brembo brake callipers and three-way adaptive dampers – all as per the tS Spec B.
No changes have been made to the 202kW/350Nm turbocharged 2.4-litre petrol boxer engine stashed under the bonnet, nor the six-speed manual transmission and symmetrical all-wheel drive (AWD) system it operates through.
The Road Ahead
Club Spec variants typically arrive towards the end of a WRX model’s tenure – save for the previous one that pre-empted the tS Spec B’s release – so it will be interesting to see how much longer the current generation hangs around.
Subaru has been teasing plenty of exciting WRX-related product in recent times and supposedly there have been leaks of the next generation, but history shows most Rexys usually enjoy a six- or seven-year lifecycle, meaning the VB should still have a couple of years up its sleeve.
