The wait is finally over. Subaru has released official photos and initial info on the new JDM-spec Impreza WRX STI. Details remain scant, however, as Subaru only tells us that the new STI is powered by a 16v 2.0L boxer with a twin-scroll turbo mated to a 6-speed manual. SI-DRIVE, multi-mode Drivers Control Center Differential (DCCD) and Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC) are also standard. All of these things have been widely speculated on and/or reported already. Specific power numbers are conspicuously absent, so we'll have to wait for the rest of it when the car bows in Tokyo in a couple of weeks. Based on what's already been leaked, look for 304 horses and 311 lb-ft of torque in the Japanese-market model. What's no longer a mystery is the car's appearance, which is muscular and aggressive -- a huge improvement over the base WRX. Head to the gallery below to see the car unmasked at last.

 

Ill Be The First One To Say, This Is Sick As ****kk

 

all caps ftw. sorry, i was just so excited i couldn't control myself. ^_^

 

granted that this thing has a lot of goodies. I'm not sure that I can love that thing at all

 

i guess i'll be the 2nd to say it....

 

it looks nice

 

Got to see and test drive the car once it hits the US market...

 

Like the interior, as for the exterior, besides the Fenders....

 

wow that looks a LOT better than I thought it would. So far i only like the black one though. silver's not cuttin it for me

 

It was last month when I saw an 08 in person and really liked it. This thing just tops it. I'm really digging the Euro styling.

 

^^^if by "euro styling" you mean a stinky frenchman...then i agree that it wreaks of euro styling

 

loose the mustache grill, red out the tails, loose the dual exhaust and i could say id pick it over the MazdaSpeed3

 

Yea, I'll pass on this too.

 

Bad ***!
