Subaru may be ending production of its legendary WRX (as well as the Levorg) for the Japanese market due to tightening emissions, but elsewhere, the carmaker is celebrating it as the last rally-inspired sports sedan standing by trolling its one-time nemesis, the Mitsubishi Evolution.
Although the Evolution nameplate is associated with Mitsubishi’s long line of rally cars based on the Lancer, its demise after the Evolution X meant that the Subaru WRX didn’t have a direct competitor. And while Subaru did pull out of the World Rally Championship themselves, they continued producing the WRX up to today.
In Australia, a limited-edition Subaru WRX AWD Club Spec Evo or, as you guessed it, Evo for short, celebrates the WRX’s 60,000th unit sales milestone.
