I'm surprised this has not been posted yet. But I guess, that's because it's Japan only :(
From: Autoblog.com
Here it is, the latest high profile edition Subaru Impreza STI variant, coined the S206. Subaru has also called it the "crown of STI tuned cars", as the S206 follows suit with preceding "S" billed vehicles, such as the S203, S204 and S205.
The Subaru Impreza STI S206 has a plethora of differences over a regular spec STI. Under the hood, the 2.0-litre flat-four gets a superior twin-scroll turbocharger with free-flowing exhaust system, coupled with a remapped ECU to bump the power output to 320-horsepower and 317 lb-ft of torque. With the completed engine work, Subaru has claimed that the vehicle has much quicker throttle response and delivers that added torque well in low- and mid-range revs.
The S206 has exclusive Bilstein dampers, STI coil springs, a flexible front tower bar and draw stiffener, all in an effort to perfect the vehicles swift and precise cornering. BBS has produced a 19-inch wheel specifically for this model and wrapped them with Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires. Outside the S206 adds a lower front splitter, new grille, different side sills, and a unique rear spoiler. An exclusive leather wrapped steering wheel, Recaro bucket seats, red seatbelts, and a tasteful STI push engine start round out the changes inside the cabin.
So, there you have it, numerous changes have been made to the regular STI to offer a more capable, hardcore driving experience. It may be a shame to hear then that it will only be available to 300 lucky individuals in Japan. You heard us. Put your cheque book down. Unfortunately the vehicle is made specifically for the Japanese Domestic Market, and get this, there is an even more exclusive edition too. The NBR Challenge Package adds a carbon fibre roof and rear spoiler, red door sills and a Nürburgring Challenge sticker to commemorate Subaru's class win at the Nürburgring 24 Hours. The limited to 100 unit run of the NBR Challenge Package have all already been spoken for.
We are sure they would have sold just as quickly if they were offered here. Hop the break for the complete specs from the Subaru press release.

I always thought of getting an STI. This one actually looks very good but unfortunately, it is JP only. Thoughts?
