Impreza STi for US
While Mitsubishi is launching the Evo VIII for North America, Subaru announces it will also bring the Impreza STi to the US. Moreover, this STi not only loses no performance to its Japanese version, it even gets more engine capacity hence higher power and torque! the boxer-4 engine grows from 2.0 to 2.5 litre, still equipping with variable valve timing, large tubocharger and big intercooler. As a result, it generates 300 hp and 300 lbft, compare with the Japanese version’s 280hp and 275lbft.
Unlike Evo VIII, the American Impreza STi sacrifices none of its high-spec mechanicals. It still has the variable split ratio center differential, through which the driver can alter torque split between front and rear axles. It still has the 6-speed manual gearbox and the Brembo brakes. Well done Subaru !
This car has already been shown in Detroit motor show. Will it be available to the rest of the world? we hope so.
Verkar vara värd att vänta på. Fortsätter det så här kanske Impreza STI med turboladdad 3-liters sexa är nästa utvecklingsfas.
