Very misleading as the STI Type RA NBR that produced this time was a full blown modified race car pushing 600HP. It included a full roll cage and aero-pack. Not sure why they pictured the factory version and attached it to this listing. Should be updated with the correct information.

Japan's Best Car website has released info on the 2021 WRX. They say it's gonna have a 266 HP Turbo 1.8 liter flat four for the WRX, at least in Japan. The STI's gonna get a 315 horsepower 2 liter that's been in the WRX. That doesn't sound like much of a bump, but apparently torque is being boosted to 325 LB-FT, so that's a decent amount. I guess your better of buying the S209 that's available now. However, Earlier reports from Road and Track have stated that it will get the Ascent's 2.4 liter flat four that already makes around 260 hp. However, supposedly it could produce 330 hp plus. If they hook it up with the hybrid system that Subaru is developing now, it could produce even more power. It's expected to debut in concept form in October in Tokyo, of course.
Full Disclosure: All of this comes from https://www.torquenews.com/1084/more-next-generation-2021-subaru-wrx-sti-details-surface, where they are saying all this. Correct me if I'm wrong.

yes it is good civic type r is not even available its going to be a fail fwd more stop telling the story

harrier 7y ago
good car bad power to weight ratio for 300bhp sold mine for the new type R and the sti felt like a snail compared to the honda

harrier 8y ago
also worth noting you cant compare a Bentley gt to a hot hatch or the sti its just stupid, the Bentley is car you occasionally launch off at some lights, not really a track car meant for corners,

harrier 8y ago
no the euro ans American models are the same, only ours comes with more extras as standard

I think the European version (280ps) is much slower than the American version (309ps).

In Europe this offroad sedan costs around Euro 40k. If you look at Laguna Seca Performance and importantly same Driver (Randy P.) WRX performs roughly same as BENTLEY CONTINENTAL GT - which is an overpriced COW on wheels. Anyway, back to WRX, is this a joke ? Ok, Golf R is overpriced too with Euro 40k pricing but would you spend that money on a car that handles like a Bentley GT pretending to handle like an offroad F1 (judging by its table attached to the boot, which really puts me off). Same for 2015 model of course.

It seems that new WRX STI is all around more sharper car, more focused than previous model was compared to standard WRX. Closer gear ratio, more aggresive suspension. Seems a lot of fun.

BR2+ 10y ago
I don't see any reason to keep the power at that for so long, Especially for a new generation, Not saying 305Bhp is bad, But for so long? 2000-2002 280Bhp, 2002-2006 305Bhp, 2007-2014 Same.
Theres nothing drastic about the looks, or the bhp, But at least its not a hatchback, And It is nicely priced, £28,995! That is a spectacular price for a road going rally car with excellent abilities.

Available to magazines, And available to the public aren't the same.

Well i will tell You the shit:
I prefer work out, well calibrated car, than new construction with many mistakes.
That boxer 4 was long time one of the best engines of the world. Sure i wish for bigger, more powerfull engine, but, if i have so good, proven engine im ok with this.
Same with the suspension and AWD system.
Now after WRX reviews im pretty sure that new WRX STi despite almost the same numbers will be better car to drive and better all around machine.
Sam as with the 911 - evolution is sometimes better than revolution.

The engine remains the same as the outgoing one.
What Subaru claims to be "brand new" is the suspension. But is that much of an improvement for performance?
Subaru also claims the cabin is now much more equipped.
"I just hope Mitsubishi doesn't get rid of there Evolution because of this Hybrid and MPG bullshite."
Agreed. However, Mitsubishi reports they are preparing the REvolution of Evolution... Hopefully there will be significant power bump over Evo X, no matter what engine configuration will be offered, cause I'm kind of tired seeing identical power ratings for decades.
I just hope Mitsubishi would get things right with future model range. While the current is absolutely unimpressive.

Is the engine like "brand new brand new" - new every nut and bolt?
If yes, it may be a fundamentally much better engine for tuners to come and extract however much power they want.
