Company Subaru has prepared new car Subaru Impreza WRX STI for an annual marathon "24 hours of a Nurnburgring". This race passes on line Nordschleife ("Northern hinge strain") which has a nickname "Green hell" for complexity of a line, the big extent (one circle – more than 22 kilometres) and a close arrangement of trees to a racing cloth.The new car of the Japanese company has undergone some

Tucked away in a corner of McCormick Place was this custom WRX STI built in as part of a cooperative effort between Subaru and Travis Pastrana’s race team, Vermont SportsCar. The car commemorates Pastrana’s third consecutive Rally America National Championship, and although a one-off, many of the parts on the car can be purchased through your local authorized Subaru dealer.
Subaru Impreza WRX STI exterior features custom yellow paint, a carbon fiber hood and rear spoiler, front chin spoiler, and a set of PIAA 2100 HID driving lights. Handling is improved thanks to an SPT strut tower brace, lower chassis brace, and BFGoodrich G-Force Super Sport A/S tires wrapped over satin black Work Evolution XD-9 wheels.

The commemorative edition’s interior is enhanced with a set of Recaro bucket seats decorated with cherry-red stitching, and an STI leather gearbox knob. Prices are set in Japan at 4,126,500 Yen, which comes to around $42,000 US with the current exchange rates.

Subaru has announced pricing on the UK-spec Impreza WRX STI, due to go on sale over here early next year. And it's cheap. Surprisingly cheap, in fact. The Impreza 2.5 WRX STI Type UK, to give it its full name, is yours for £24,995 - £1,600 cheaper than the outgoing STI and a fair few grand less pricey than we were expecting.
While the Japanese STI gets a two-litre boxer with 304bhp, the UK car retains the 2.5-litre engine of its predecessor, but with power ramped up to 296bhp. That, says, Subaru, is good for a 0-60 time of just 4.8 seconds and a top speed of 155mph, meaning you'll struggle to find something quicker for the same cash.
What else do you get for your 25 grand? All the STI styling cues, naturally, but more importantly Subaru's improved Driver Controlled Centre Differential and traction control. Brembo brakes, leather Recaros and cruise control are all standard, too.
All of which makes the STI look like a bit of a bargain. But, of course, it's now a four-wheel-drive hot hatch rather than a hot saloon, meaning it's lining up against the similarly priced VW Golf R32 and Audi S3 quattro. And that's before you throw in the Evo X, for which prices are yet to be announced. You can be sure that the boys at Mitsubishi are studying the STI price list very keenly indeed.
