All New - Subaru Wrx Sti

[satan]

Previous versions of the WRX STI have been based on the Impreza sedan but the new STI is a 5-door hatch. Its bold styling include wide fenders to give the STI an aggressive stance, differentiating it from other versions of Impreza and the rear spoiler is now mounted at the end of the roofline above the rear hatch, replacing the large trunk-mounted wing on the previous STI.

At the front, the wing-shaped grille is finished with black mesh, a large hood scoop enhances the airflow into the intercooler and fog lights are integrated into the lower air intakes. Wheels are 5-spoke 18-inch alloys with BBS cast wheels available as an option and a Brembo-developed brake system is standard.

While U.S. specs have not been released, the Japanese version of the STI is powered by a new version of the 2.0-liter horizontally opposed four-cylinder boxer engine with a twin-scroll turbocharger that produces just over 300 horsepower. It is combined with Subaru's Symmetrical all-wheel drive and a specially developed 6-speed manual transmission.

Multi-mode Driver's Control Center Differential (DCCD) and multi-mode Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC) have both been added to the STI to control traction and stability more precisely.

Inside the STI is finished in black and silver and the front seats feature a combination of Alcantara and leather to hold the driver and front-seat passenger in place. Custom seats developed by RECARO are available as a factory

option.

Sad day for Subaru is all I can say, this car simply just moves Subaru even further way from the stunning STI's of the P1 generation .......... (commenting on the looks of course)
