Seller's Introduction
duPont REGISTRY Live presents this 2015 Subaru WRX STI ESX Red Dragon Edition, finished in Lightning Red with contrasting white stripes over a Black leather interior accented in white and red. One of just 25 examples produced, this distinctive performance sedan shows 38,800 miles and is accompanied by a Clean CarFax. Power comes from Subaru’s turbocharged 2.5-liter flat-four engine, paired with a six-speed manual transmission and Subaru’s renowned all-wheel-drive system. While this is #46, ESX Motorsports used a continuous numbering system that spans across all of their vehicle builds and editions, rather than resetting to 1 for each new series. This Red Dragon Edition combines the rally-bred character of the WRX STI with exclusive ESX styling and performance. This limited-production Subaru is an appealing opportunity for enthusiasts seeking a distinctive, driver-focused performance car.
Overview
The Subaru WRX STI has long been celebrated for its rally-inspired engineering, turbocharged power delivery, and confidence-inspiring all-wheel-drive capability. The ESX Red Dragon Edition builds on that foundation with exclusive cosmetic details and performance-oriented enhancements, giving this limited-production example a distinctive presence while retaining the engaging driving experience that has made the STI a favorite among enthusiasts.
Finished in Lightning Red, the exterior is complemented by contrasting white stripes, 18-inch Koenig wheels fitted with ESX center caps, red-painted brake calipers, and a prominent rear wing. A sunroof adds another layer of everyday usability, while the combination of bold colors and exclusive ESX details distinguishes the Red Dragon Edition from a standard WRX STI.
Inside, Black leather upholstery is accented by white and red detailing, creating a cabin that carries the special-edition theme throughout. Front heated bucket seats provide support and comfort, while a paint-matched roll bar behind the front seats adds a motorsport-inspired visual element. Dual-zone climate control and a Harman Kardon sound system round out the interior appointments, balancing the car’s performance-oriented character with everyday convenience.
Power comes from Subaru’s 2.5-liter turbocharged flat-four engine, paired with a six-speed manual transmission and all-wheel drive. The Driver Controlled Center Differential allows the driver to tailor the center differential settings to suit driving conditions and preferences, reinforcing the STI’s rally-derived character. An Injen air intake and exhaust further distinguish this example, complementing the turbocharged powertrain with aftermarket hardware.
Showing 38,800 miles and accompanied by a Clean CarFax, one key, and the owner’s booklets, this 2015 Subaru WRX STI ESX Red Dragon Edition offers a compelling combination of limited-production exclusivity, turbocharged performance, and engaging three-pedal driving. As one of just 25 examples, its Lightning Red finish, contrasting white stripes, ESX-specific details, and enthusiast-focused mechanical specification make it a distinctive addition to any collection of modern performance cars.
Inspectors Notes: ESX Motorsports is known for pushing the boundaries with Subaru performance, and it is clear with this car! It has increased performance over the standard STI and wears ESX-specific components on the exterior and interior.
