2008 Subaru Impreza STI Caught Again!
AutoGespot posted some really fresh spy shots of the upcoming 2008 Subaru Impreza WRX STi testing on the famous Nürburgring. Despite the extensive camouflage, similarities to the Impreza WRC Concept can be easily seen. The front bar and grill as well as the larger hood scoop appear near identical to the concept car, whilst the rear has received a far more extensive redesign.
The rear wing has been dramatically toned down, this is in stark contrast to the number of exhaust outlets which have doubled to a total of four which is sure to unlock the iconic boxer burble.
The STi is said to be powered by a revised version of the 2.5L boxer which is expected to produce around 225kW. However some markets will receive a smaller 2.0L version which maintains the same power figure but lower torque.
Expect handling to dramatically improve over the WRX with extensive suspension upgrades as is customary with all STi models, especially with so much room for improvement in the current WRX generation. This is Subaru’s final weapon against the Lancer Evolution, all expectations are riding on the STi to determine whether this car belongs with the rally car’s or the hot-hatch’s.

much more younger drivers for today prefer subaru for its performance level as well as reliability..
yep, performance is the king. no matter how looks - it’s all about the power and handling!
sti is the king
you’re trying to say that evo is not about performance?
i have no doubts that this car will run like a beast , in true impreza form , but it really doesnt look like an impreza , subaru shud just bring this car out as some other model , with another name, not replace the impreza with this thing ….. style may not be everything , but it counts for something.
