Based on the WRX tS, Brembo high-performance brakes and tS performance-tuned adaptive electronic dampers heighten the model's driving dynamics.
The 雷 Kaminari Edition features a host of yellow additions inside as well, including yellow accents on the Recaro performance bucket-style seats and yellow accent stitching throughout the cabin. Outside, complementing the exclusive Sunrise Yellow paint is a high-profile lip spoiler finished in gloss black, split 10-spoke 19-inch aluminum alloy wheels finished in matte black and a sport design grille to further differentiate the look of this special edition.
