Subaru Levorg 1.6 GT V-Sport, a 60th anniversary special edition

MANILA: It might not seem so, but Subaru has completed 60 years in the automotive circuit. And to celebrate the occasion, Subaru has added a new version of Levorg in its lineup. 

If the very thought of a special edition model excites you, it only gets better moving forward. The new Levorg 1.6 GT V-Sport, the special edition model, has been given minor aesthetic changes along with an attractive new paint job.

The subtle changes on the car include a new three-slat grille embossed in dark chrome, LED headlamps, and tweaked bumper and fog lamp housings. Plus, this new Levorg 1.6 GT V-Sport rides on wider than regular 18-inch alloy wheels.

Other aesthetic additions include new dampers for the chassis sourced from Bilstein. As expected the Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive is standard in the V-Sport. Wrapping up the exterior cues is the biggest addition, the WR (World Rally) Blue splash, a color tone reserved explicitly for the STI and WRX models.

Mechanically, this special edition Subaru Levorg been given on the 1.6-litre engine. This mill makes 170 PS of power and 250 Nm of torque. However, it is yet to be known whether the company will be offering this 60th-anniversary model with the bigger 2.0-litre engine or not.

This 60th-anniversary special treatment has been given to the Levorg only, and it is not likely that Subaru will do the same with other models too.
