Impreza WRX STI Sedan shown in WR Blue Pearl. World Rally Championships A full-out, brutal fl og through some of the most punishing environments in the world. Its a harsh test of the drivers mettle, and the capability and endurance of the vehicle. In the 16 years since Subaru fi rst entered the WRC, it has remained a dominant force in the series, boasting numerous championships. The knowledge, analysis and passion derived from these experiences go into the development of every Subaru. Racing is in our blood. Winning is part of our DNA. Impreza WRX STI Features exclusive to STI STI-design bodywork 17-inch BBS alloy wheels Brembo brakes Super Sport ABS HID headlamps with DRLs STI exhaust system Driver Controlled Center Differential (DCCD) All-Wheel Drive Helical-type front and mechanical rear limitedslip differentials Intercooler water-spray control STI-design front seats with Blue Alcantara upholstery DCCD You can manipulate the front/rear torque split up to 59% rear to create specifi c dynamics or match driving conditions. Or put the AWD in automatic mode for automatic adjustment of the center diff. It is pure in its intent, genuine in its ambition. The WRX STI exists for one purpose only to be the ultimate performance machine. With unwaveringly bold technology to increase speed, agility and strength, the WRX STI takes the intensity of ultra high-performance rally driving and replicates it for on-road use. No apologies. No compromises. Every piece of engineering is dedicated to enhancing the performance potential of the WRX STI. Consider its 2.5-liter boxer engine. With an intercooled, high-boost turbocharger pushing 14.5 psi of maximum boost, the fl at-four charges with a monstrous 300 horsepower and 300 lb-ft of torque. Then add our most performance-driven Symmetrical AWD system, the Driver Controlled Center Differential (DCCD), that puts you at the helm of traction. Ride it on a race-tuned 4-wheel independent suspension with inverted struts and lightweight 17-inch BBS wheels halted by mighty Brembo ventilated disc brakes. Extreme? Unrelentingly.
