The Blitzen model ("Blitz" is German for lightning) was the result of a collaboration with design house Porsche Design, and featured many unique parts and paint schemes, and was the top level luxury sport package from Subaru, using items from their STi performance division.
 The wheels, body kit, and interior were all designed by this German group.
 It also featured an implementation of Aisin Seiki's new sequential automatic gearbox, the first use of sequential-shifting on a production Subaru model.
 The model was refreshed in 2002 with an updated design.

The model was refreshed again in 2003 with the interior designed by Andreas Zapatinas.
