Subaru has celebrated 60,000 WRX sales in Australia with a fitting tribute: the 2026 WRX AWD Club Spec Evo, a manual-only limited edition restricted to just 75 individually numbered units.
At $63,190 before on-roads, this isn’t a bargain-basement special. It’s a statement piece for the enthusiast who wants their WRX to feel genuinely rare, not merely optioned-up.
What Makes It Special?
The Club Spec Evo builds on the already-loaded WRX AWD tS Spec B (itself $62,190) and adds a suite of visual and tactile upgrades that justify the premium:
Exterior:
- Exclusive Sunrise Yellow paint (the only colour available)
- 19-inch matte black alloy wheels
- Club Spec Evo side decals on rear doors
Interior:
- RECARO sports bucket seats for driver and front passenger
- Ultrasuede upholstery with leather-look accents
- Yellow and black seat trim with yellow contrast stitching
- Yellow stitching across dash, door panels and centre console
- Numbered Club Spec Evo interior badge
The manual-only configuration is deliberate. This isn’t a car for people who want convenience. It’s for the buyers who actively sought out the six-speed and would feel cheated by a CVT.
The Broader WRX Picture
For those keeping score, the 2026 WRX range spans $48,890 (base manual sedan) to $63,990 (tS Sportswagon auto). The Club Spec Evo slots in as the most expensive sedan, though the Sportswagon in tS trim technically costs more.

- WRX AWD Sedan Manual: $48,890
- WRX AWD Sedan Auto: $51,390
- WRX AWD RS Sedan Manual: $54,190

The Collector’s Calculation
Seventy-five cars. In a market that shifts roughly 3,000 WRXs annually. That’s genuine scarcity, not marketing fluff.
The Club Spec Evo name itself nods to Subaru’s history of enthusiast specials, the kind of cars that appreciate rather than depreciate because the production numbers were tight and the specification was right.
Will this be one of those? Perhaps. The combination of manual transmission, unique colour, numbered plaque and RECARO seats creates the sort of package that future buyers will fight over on enthusiast forums.
Scott Lawrence, Subaru Australia’s General Manager, wasn’t shy about the intent: “The WRX AWD Club Spec Evo celebrates that heritage. With a manual-only configuration, exclusive Sunrise Yellow finish and distinctive design details, it’s a special model created for the enthusiasts who have loved and supported WRX for generations.”
The 2026 WRX AWD Club Spec Evo is available to order now through Subaru retailers nationwide.
