What Changed

The new STI Special Edition model is aimed at the dedicated enthusiast willing to trade amenities for improved handling. The Special Edition improves the suspension by adding stiffer springs (+16% front, +29% rear), stiffer rear bushings and a thicker rear stabilizer bar. Weight is reduced by downgrading to halogen lights, a more basic audio system and manual climate control. The first 125 units are painted in an exclusive white color.
