Subaru WRX STI sedan specs

Once king of the road, it's almost slow nowadays.

the subaru is built for the ring....

times are wrong it is faster.
4.8 seconds if you use 3 gears to get to 100km
and if u revv 2nd high u can break 4.5 seconds easily.
also the 0 - 60 time faster than the 0 - 100km?
0 - 100km is - 62mph makes no sense that the 0 - 100 is slower than 0 -60mph.
also .96G skid pan

You people, seriously, the time is genuine. The car is a production version thats why Subaru STI released the JDM S206 Nurburgring edition. Just get over it and face the truth, that every factory supported production car that has been a PR Nurburgring show stopper is far from the factory delivered vehicle manurfacturers claim, ie. Porsche, Nissan etc etc.

that makes more sense than a Sti getting within 3 secs of a panamera
and how about that other 05 STI spec c?

the ring laptime is unbelievable...almost the same time as the Panamera Turbo S!!!!!

That 7:55 gets posted and removed every couple of months. It will be deleted again once someone gets around to it.

It has been deleted many times for obvious reasons (as noted several times by Georg and myself) but here is a simple quote from C&D...

Extra aero parts specific to this car include a full undertray, a front-lip extension tacked onto the R205’s lower spoiler, and a Gurney flap added—taped, really—to the rear at Mäkinen’s request. (The car was getting a bit out of shape without it in the high-speed sections.)

That ring time should be deleted, as you can see when you scroll down the posts, the car was not stock at all.

the ring laptime is unbelievable...almost the same time as the Panamera Turbo S!!!!!
i think i need an upgrade from mine
gotta love subarus

solo tengo que decir que subaru wrx sti es el mejor sedan del mundo. saludos desde chile

0-100 km/h in 5,2 s and 0-60 mph in 5,3 s? :o

@phavyarden

I actually know very little cars that have been unveiled there and I couldn't have the luxury to visit exhibition in person.

I think the Aventador is my favourite.

I red GM were to present European version of Chevrolet Volt (Opel Ampera). With these fuel prices I think a car like that, at least for me, is as exciting as new Lambo or Pagani. Probably even more exciting.

@Fastestlaps
You really need to add a poll about the best and the worst cars about geneva :D

ohh thx george for clearing that up. All the sti needs now for the redesigned 2012 sti is a power boost!!

George what do you think how much horsepower in this concept impreza? Man this is great time and who care if this is modified car if is cheaper than panamera... With couple modification everybody can have car like this and this is great... Only 2 car with 4 door in 8 min Panamera and Impreza... yes STI is slower than panamera and car around on list but and a lot cheaper...The video said that it is a concept so why debate... Sry for my eng CHEERS

@Johnny

they use many JDM only special versions like WRX STI spec C or R205 some of them are more powerfull or have a more hardcore stock track setup and at Tsukuba the track conditions have a huge effect on the laptimes even if it looks dry the time could be 2-4s different for the same car at different dry track test days..
I guess that is the effect if the track was used befor for a race were cars with slicks raced... in many cases the rubber of slicks and road tires do not work together... race legend Hans Stuck once explained Autocar UK test driver Steve Sutcliffe that you can´t do record runs on the northloop after a VLN endurance race or the 24h because of the slick rubber the track is extrem slippery if raced with normal road tires..

Why at Tsukuba previous Sti\'s made like 1.05.00 and this sti does it in 1.08???? Can someone plz tell me what\'s up with that

@Georg I agree with you. If Subaru claims a 7:55 Nordschleife time, they are full of ****. VIR is the closest the U.S. has to a course somewhat similar to the Nordschleife, and the Subaru WRX STI is not even close to the Camaro SS in lap time. The Camaro SS has a lap time of 3:09.5 at VIR and 8:20 at Nordschleife. The STI gets a 3:13.8 at VIR, so it probably can\'t get much less than 8:30 at Nordschleife. At least that\'s how I see it.

Thanks Car & Driver to show the world the BULLSHIT Subaru claims with a 7:55min "production" sedan northloop laprecord...
At this years lightning lap it wasn´t even in the near of low 8min northloop laptime cars like M3, RS4..it was whooping 8s slower than a E63 AMG or C63 AMG it was even 6s away from a little Audi TT-S, a car that hardly laps the northloop in under 8:30min...

Hope that test like this ends this BULLSHIT claiming manufactor contest about northloop production car records...

Happy new Year

With Tommy Makinen on Nurburgring

...Sti Rocks...

the different between 0-60mph and 0-100km/h (62mph) is factory claim (km/h) vs real world test (mph) by car and driver

this is the production optional brembo brake

this is the prototype brake and the non optional Bridgstone semi slicks

deleted the northloop time again... the car used in the 7:55min run was heavly modifed...

closed and taped underbody is NOT STOCK..

fully build in roll cage is not stock

There\'s no way in hell the production version of this car will go around the Ring in less than 8 minutes. The 7:55 time is for a highly modded STI.

Please guys note that this car hit 60mph in 3.5s and quater mile in 11.7s.This is because ferare f430 f1 has thesame laptime with the current 2011 sti sedan.

Nah it is, remember its all in the sources, some will be slower and some will be faster.

Are u sure the 1/4 mile time is 13.5?? i thought it would have been faster

deleted the northloop laptime...the car was a testmule fitted with perfromance parts that will be not avaible in the production model like the 6piston brake caliper, full race roll cage, race seats with 4point seatbells, fully closed underbody fixed with tonns of tape to improve the aerodynamic...

Engine displacement is 2.0 liter JDM STI

Way to go Tommi!
