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.

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.
