Commitment
comes from the core.
Power
Passion is unleashed from the WRX and WRX STI as visceral power.
The SUBARU BOXER
uniquely balanced design for poise and agility. Subaru Symmetrical
All-Wheel Drive channels it to all four wheels for traction and stability.
And you feel it. 265 horsepower and a potent 244 lb-ft of torque
at 4,000 rpm in the WRX. 305 horsepower and 290 lb-ft of vicious
265
torque in the WRX STI. A pure and immediate rush. With innovative
SI-DRIVE, you can tailor the way the WRX STI delivers all that
power—from smooth and efficient to completely unrestrained. No
matter how intense you like performance, the WRX and WRX STI are
engineered to exhilarate at every level.

Turbocharger
The power produced by our famed 2.5-liter SUBARU BOXER
is intensified with a not-so-secret weapon—a high-performance
turbocharger. The signature hood scoop force-feeds air to an
intercooler that boosts output and response by enhancing the
turbocharger's ability to deliver a potent fuel and air mixture.

Active Valve Control System
While turbocharging boosts power by pumping more air into
each cylinder, for peak performance it's essential that the
timing of the fuel and air delivery be precisely controlled.
The Subaru Active Valve Control System (AVCS) on the WRX
and Dual Active Valve Control System (DAVCS) on the WRX
STI make sure to deliver the fuel and air mixture at exactly
the right moment. And valve timing is adjusted to match
engine rpm, to help create optimal response at any speed.

Suspension
For the WRX STI, the suspension raises the bar with masterful
handling and captivating control. Tight, tuned and tested at the
limit to knife into corners with precise accuracy, while still soaking
up uneven roads without upsetting the chassis. Inverted front struts
help create an ideal balance of stability and precision, and the
double-wishbone rear suspension responds to rough surfaces with
smoothness that never compromises control.

Brakes

The WRX STI features the Brembo
performance braking system to
®
help you keep a secure leash on all its power. Powerful ventilated front
and rear disc brakes—the front ones span 13 inches—are teamed with
4-piston front and dual-piston rear calipers and 4-channel, 4-sensor
Super Sport ABS with Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD).

Driver Controlled Center Differential
The WRX STI puts you in the driver's seat in more ways than
one. With the exclusive Driver Controlled Center Differential
(DCCD), you can define how Subaru AWD distributes power.
Use three distinct automatic modes to fine-tune the system
to conquer the road conditions you encounter, or use manual
mode to help create the handling characteristics you desire.
