You must be new to Subaru lol. The WRX was "supposed" to get 300 horsepower, and they added...... 3! Same will be for the STI. 320, 330 at most. Certainly not more than their $65k S209 edition model which has 345.I'm holding out for hope that STI will be 399hp or more. Probably shouldn't hold my breath after seeing these figures though.
Did they claim this somewhere?The WRX was "supposed" to get 300 horsepower
No. Just all the "experts" on YouTube and clickbait article writers lol. They say the STI will get 400 horsepower too. I've been laughing at that for at least 2 years.Did they claim this somewhere?
Right when fans came around to the current WRX too, very weirdIāve owned many generations of WRX/STI, but this car is a fail for me. i really donāt like all the cheap looking plastic cladding. The rear is terrible. It looks like a Civic with a buttplug.
So they added a larger displacement motor but it ended up witth only 3hp and the same torque as the previous gen WRX. On top of that the new WRX 2.4 engine thatās in other Subaruās actually makes a lot more torque in those other models. Iām guessing itās neutered for the crappy CVT in the WRX?
And the new GT trim, which is the enthusiast trim with Recaro seats and the only WRX model with adaptive dampers only comes with the CVT only. Same with Eyesight. CVT only.
WTF Subaru. The new Hyundai Elantra N Line will have more HP and way more TQ and has a 6 speed manual and 8 speed DCT. Who would have thought the Hyundai Elantra would have a better car than the legendary WRX? Crazy.
