The Subaru WRX STi Launch Edition was a limited edition variant of the VA Subaru WRX STi that was offered for the 2015 model year. The Launch Edition was largely cosmetic, painted in World Rally Blue paint and with gold BBS wheels among notable touches. These cars were powered by Subaru's EJ257 engine, which was a turbocharged 2.5L flat four boxer engine with an output of 305hp. Drive is sent to all four wheels through a 6 speed manual transmission. Just 1,000 examples of the Subaru WRX STi Launched Edition were built, all for North America.
