albeik Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Source: http://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/15/jdm-goodness-subaru-legacy-sti-s402/ http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/05/04_s402_sub_leg.jpg Subaru is taunting us again with yet another limited-edition model that we'll likely never see Stateside. The Legacy STI S402 will be limited to (appropriately) 402 units in both sedan and wagon trim, featuring the STI's turbocharged, 2.5-liter flat-four. Unlike some of the other "special" Subies, the S402 Legacy means business. To begin with, the front fenders have been widened by 20mm, the steering ratio has been reduced to 13:1 and Bilstein shocks are fitted at all four corners, along with 18-inch BBS wheels wrapped in Bridgestone Potenza RE050A rubber. The brakes have been upgraded to units from Brembo, with six-piston calipers up front and two-pot calipers in the rear gripping upgraded rotors. Aside from all the required badging, Subaru has fitted new gauges to the IP, along with a MOMO steering wheel and aluminum shift knob. Sales begin in Japan on June 27th, with prices starting ¥5,491,500 for the wagon and ¥5,355,000 for the sedan. We'll take one of each, thank you very much.

Scubbie B4 Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 I was told by an Auto Dealer here in Jamaica that one will be on his lot in a few weeks. I can tell you that will be a pricey ride app Ja $3mil / US $42,253 and it will be gone within the first week, so i'll try to get some ics.

rshalvoy Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 I'll take the brakes, the wheels, the front-lip...okay, I'll just take the whole god damn thing. Hope the next Spec B has a few of these things...probably shouldn't hold my breath, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cossey Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 In the gallery pics, it shows it around Caracciola-Karussell on Nurburgring Nordschliefe. I wonder what times it hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IwannaSportSedan Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 I feel like screaming at Subaru like Shatner in ST:II "KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHN!!!" I have wanted a Legacy equipped like this for SO long. I knew it could be done, it just had to be built. We all knew it. Now everyone can see it. IN FRAKKING PICTURES, BECAUSE MOST OF US ARE NOT IN JAPAN!!!!!!!!!!!! This is the car that should be in the Spec B's market segment, this is the car that should be sold along side the uggo-rific WRX STI. The Spec B should be 30k, and the GT Limited should be 27k. THIS car, the S402 should be the "Legacy STI" that is sold at 35-39k depending on options, as is the WRX STI 5-door. Even if there are only 402 offered in the US. That is better than frakking ZERO! DAMMMIT I WANT THAT CAR. six-piston Brembos under forged BBS REs, inside widened fenders. DAMN. http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/05/06_s402_sub_leg.jpg A badge we'll never see, aside from a false re-badge job.

chenc544 Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 ¥5,491,500 for the wagon and ¥5,355,000 for the sedan That would be $52,500 USD for the wagon and $5,1200 USD for the sedan... Good luck selling those against the BMW M3, Audi S4, Lexus IS-F, etc, and you wonder why SOA won't bring it over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck selling those against the BMW M3, Audi S4, Lexus IS-F, etc, and you wonder why SOA won't bring it over. Yeah, but I want a car that is reliable and affordable to maintain (BMW, Audi) and a manual trans (IS-F). Not saying this car is worth 50k, but low 40's would make it fairly reasonable. Consider the Saab Turbo-X. Its priced the low-mid 40's as well. I'd much rather have this Suby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IwannaSportSedan Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Exchange rate is not the only calculation for the price of a car. A US S402, even identical spec might cost less than the exchange rate might suggest, due to taxation, and other issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IwannaSportSedan Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 I believe they are 5x100. The rotors hats seem redrilled. I wonder if the hubs could be swapped from an STI or a Tribeca... It might open up some other wheel fitments, especially with flared fenders. at least we know there are some nice calipers and discs that will fit, though.

Guest Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 I wonder if the hubs could be swapped from an STI or a Tribeca... It might open up some other wheel fitments, especially with flared fenders. at least we know there are some nice calipers and discs that will fit, though. That's what I was thinking just recently doing my Brembo swap. 08 STI hubs will for sure bolt to our cars (most likely will require new knuckle). Not sure if ABS would keep working. Hard to say about the rear, since 08+ Impreza has different suspension layout, but overall it's quite similar to ours so there is a chance it would. One day I'll investigate it more...
