Blitzen (the German word for lightning) combines the potent ability of the existing Liberty 3.0R spec.B with a long list of body and interior changes to produce a car with unique personality.

Available in bright red or obsidian black, it includes a new aerodynamic package including front grille, front and rear bumpers, side sills, roof spoiler on the wagon and 18-inch alloy wheels - underpinned by the safety of Subaru’s famed All-Wheel Drive.

Just 200 of these superb touring cars are available, in both automatic and manual transmission variants, sedan and wagon.

Liberty Blitzen’s sporty character is highlighted by wider bumpers, flared sills and the honeycomb grille. The wheel pattern is also unique to the model.

The 3.0 litre horizontally opposed boxer engine is the same as that which powered the Liberty 3.0R to its recent win in the combined national motoring organization awards, as Australia’s Best Luxury Car under $57,000.

Liberty Blitzen is expected to be available in June 2006, for a strictly limited period. Pricing will be announced closer to the release date.

It shares the same independent ANCAP five-star crashworthiness rating for occupant safety as all other Liberty variants.

Nick Senior, Managing Director, Subaru Australia, said: “For some years Subaru fans in Australia have followed the various Blitzen versions available in Japan.

“We’re delighted to reward their interest with this limited edition, prepared especially for the Australian market. Once again it demonstrates the high regard that Fuji Heavy Industries has for our Australian customers, tailoring a car especially for our domestic needs.

“It’s got tremendous road presence and combined with the highly acclaimed chassis set-up and engine of the Liberty 3.0R spec.B, we think there will be considerable interest.”

Standard features include:

•ABS Brakes with EBD

•Adjustable steering column

•Airbags – dual front side and curtain

•Air-conditioning - climate control

•All-Wheel Drive

•Bilstein sports suspension

•Cruise control

•DataDot security system

Hats off to Flex an Legacy specB for proving very useful information about the legacys, keep it up guys

[swift gti funatic]

whats the difference between the spec b gt and the normal gt?? is it really worth it "performace" wise to get the spec b over the gt?

[legacy_specB]

The differences are discussed earlier in this thread I think. Both cars carry the same engine with the same output. The Spec B is said to have quicker gear ratios which means faster acceleration. Also the Spec B comes with a suspension upgrade and 18" rims. The ride is a little bit stiffer as well.

So it's really up to you to decide what you want. What type of ride you prefer. The interior is about the same as well.

[Adelante]

Can anyone add some info on the 2004 GT. I might be getting one soon.

[legacy_specB]

Alot of the information here would apply to the 04GT as well. Mostly the stuff stated earlier on this thread. Anything in particular you want to know just ask. We would direct you to the appropriate thread that discusses it or something.

[Adelante]

In term of body parts and mechanical. would it be safe to say that the 05 will work on the 04. Also whats the difference in performance. I could be wrong, but i noticed that in the 04 the max on the gauge was like 220km/h and in the 05 (haven't seen the 06) was 180km/h. so does it mean slower acceleration but high top end in the 04. vice-verser with the 05...


Thanks

[legacy_specB]

Hmmmm the 04 and 05 body parts are the same. The readings on the gauge differ according to where the car was brought from.

The Singapore models go up to 260kph I think and all JDM vehicles go up to 180kph. So maybe the 04 you saw was from Singapore and the 05 was from japan.

I have heard somewhere that that SDM model has a better top end than the JDM model but the JDM model has faster acceleration. However I cannot confirm this so don't quote me
