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.

The standard car can never lap the Bürgurking under 7 min.
That's the lap time of a 600hp full-blown racing car!

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,

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.

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.

It's look like not just Subaru Japanese fans that feel disappointed. Most of young people who own Subaru WRX in Japan tune their car to produce at least 400 hp because they were tired to see same powered car every time Subaru release new WRX model.

@BR2+: 350 horsepower sounds good, 305 horsepower is a lot, but with the Subaru Impreza WRX STI, it's nothing new.

Thats why the driving dynamics of this car are different then the last generation right? Thas why this car is better and funner to drive then the last while having the same power and each gen gets better right? Bring your biased somewhere else.

Every generation of 911 enter revolution to performance and tech so it's very different than this shit car. It drive the same and it's the same overall. They change only how it looks. It is a fail car.

No kidding, 350Bhp 345Lbft from a TurboCharged 2.5L F4 would have been good, Tired of this 300Bhp for the last 14 years bullshite.

Don't particularly care for the looks,(Thought the last gen looked much better) But at $35,000 Usd, There isn't many cars that can trump this for what you get under $40,000, Not many at all.
