There is no better way to test the toughness of an automobile
than by entering it in the World Rally Championships (WRC). Rally
cars are engineered to race over paved, dirt and snow/ice
covered roads at breakneck speeds and in all kinds of weather.
Success in these races virtually guarantees sparking consumer
interest in purchasing the production car. Subaru understood this
when they first entered the WRC back in 1990. Their first
contender, the Legacy was succeeded by the more compact Impreza,
which was imbued with two years of tested technology. This sports
sedan generated intense popularity among consumers looking for a
street car with the guts of a WRC contender. In August 2000, a
second generation of the Impreza was born. One of the specially
tuned versions of this car was the Impreza WRX STi (Subaru
Tecnica International). Its 2-litre 4-cylinder turbo engine
adopts a reinforced cylinder block, molybdenum coated steel
pistons, high capacity turbo and intercooler. The power of the
STi version was boosted to 280hp with a 38kgm maximum torque.
This power is efficiently transmitted to the four wheels via a
6-speed manual transmission, also developed by STi. The
suspension adopts rally-proven 4-wheel struts, ensuring a smooth
ride over all kinds of road conditions. Blister style
over-fenders on the powerful four-door body and an enlarged air
intake on the hood give the Impreza WRX STi, as its name
suggests, a truly impressive appearance.
