This is one car, the auto enthusiasts across the ocean also would have loved for such is the impressive spec sheet but the Limited Edition (900 Units only) Subaru Impreza WRX STI Spec C will only be available in Japan. This hot hatch is a far cry from the from the Impreza STI with a weight reduction of 70Kgs. This has been achieved with a lighter battery, an aluminum engine hood and the use of laminar glass on front and side windows.
You get to choose from standard 18-inch alloys or the 17-inch option. These wheels have seven double spoke alloys which are cased in Bridgestone Potenza RE070 tires, which ensure better cornering and increased grip. The ECU has also been reprogrammed along with a redesigned turbocharger with smoother ball bearings that boost the torque to 422 Nm while maintaining the 305 horsepower. The suspension springs and the fuel pump have also been optimized. The color options include, Pure White, Sunrise Yellow and a Regular Blue.
We don’t know exactly who Lars is, but he’s got a great talent. Check out his interpretation of a Subaru WRX STI that edges away from the ugly exteriors we’ve been used with. Of course Subaru was never about stylish curves, since they had monsters under the hood, but this rendering exudes sophistication and beauty from every little joint. A new front-end, narrow honeycomb grille, steeper curves and modified headlights, that’s what makes it a great car to drive. [via Jalopnik]
A more accessibile version of the renowned WRX STI, Subaru announced that they’ll be releasing a new Impreza WRX STI A-Line edition. Using the company’s 4-cylinder turbocharged 2.5 liter Boxer engine mated a five speed automatic transmission dubbed as SPORTSHIFT, it manages to sport 300 hp and 350 Nm of torque. And if we already know what the Japanese can do with the engines and performances, they’ve outdone themselves when it comes to the interior. There’s an 8-directional electronically adjustable driver’s seat (there’s the option for leather) and leather trim on the inner door paneling highlighted with silver stitching. Furios yet elegant, the new Subaru Impreza WRX STI A-Line is definitely hot in that “Satin White Pearl”.
