Special Edition Liberty "Blitzen"

The Special Edition Liberty Blitzen has arrived.

It uses striking styling cues from the Japanese domestic market Legacy Blitzen, which until now has never been available in Australia.

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

Available in:

bright red or obsidian black

The Special Edition Liberty "Blitzen" features:

Leather and ALCANTARA seats with Blitzen logo stamped on them
New Front and rear bumper
New grille
Rear "Blitzen" special badging
Special 18" "Blitzen" alloy wheels (5)

Just 200 of these superb touring cars are available, in both 5-speed SPORTSHIFT* automatic and 6-speed manual transmission variants.

Sedan and wagon variants are available.

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 win in the combined national motoring organization awards, as Australia’s Best Luxury Car under $57,000 in 2005.

Pricing:

Manual Sedan - $54,980.00RRP1 plus dealer delivery and statutory charges

It shares the same independent ANCAP2 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.”
