OVERVIEW

The new generation Subaru Impreza WRX STI is the pinnacle of Advanced Driving Technology from Subaru.

For the past 16 years, no rock, road, dirt track, mud pit or hail thundering tempest has stood in the way of our quest to dominate the unforgiving World Rally Championship (we’ve won 6 in the process), and with that, testing and improving the living daylights out of our advanced driving technologies.

The Impreza WRX STI has been our rally platform, or should we say, torture rack, of choice for the past 13 years. And now, as if that wasn’t tough enough, the Subaru World Rally team have turned the screws a bit further, by adding direct design input of their own to refine the new STI into an absolutely, obedient joy for any driver to own.

With 221 kW of power and 407 Nm of torque, a Driver Controlled Centre Differential, Subaru Intelligent Drive, Subaru Intelligent Chassis, Multi-mode VDC stability control and of course our legendary constant All-Wheel Drive system you get a performance package unmatched by any sports car under $100,000.
