The 2006 Subaru WRX STI - there have been a few changes, mostly for the better. Looks have been changed, especially from the front of the car, giving it a more general appeal.

As all enthusiasts will know they've upped the engince capacity from 2.0 to 2.5 litres and according to Subaru this was not only to increase performance but the torque makes the overall driveability in most conditions that much better.

For the un-initiated: STI stands for Subaru Technica International, which is the high-performance and motorsports division of Fuji Heavy Industries. What this ultimately means is that when driving an STI you are driving a car bred for racing, in rallies. The WRX STI receives it's motorsports technology straight from the Subaru World Rally Championship. The 206 kW converts to about 300 horsepower and the 392 Nm of torque to 300 lb-ft; that added to the Subaru Symmetrical all-wheel-drive means some serious power and stability. You can really throw this car into corners and it sticks to the road. It also means that you can get from 0 to 100 km/h in around 5.0 seconds.

Specs:
