The 2008 Subaru Impreza WRX STI will be offered only as a hatchback, as we've already seen in the 2007 Subaru factory rally car. There's a strong possibility the car will feature a new multilink rear suspension. It will get a reworked version of the current intercooled and turbocharged DOHC 2.0-liter flat-4 engine, expected to produce 300 horsepower and 318 pound-feet of torque.
Subaru's engineers have improved the engine's performance by enhancing engine torque at low and midrange rpm, and we expect some tweaks in the DCCD (Driver's Control Center Differential). A six-speed manual transmission will continue to be used.
We expect full details to be disclosed at the New York auto show.
What this means to you: With the introduction of the 2008 Subaru Impreza WRX STI and 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X, interest in hot-rod rally racers will be stronger than ever next year.
