Following its recent unveiling at the North American International Auto Show, Subaru has decided that the 2015 WRX STI is to be offered in the UK.
The all-new four-door saloon features an all-wheel drive system that’s augmented by an electronically-controlled centre differential. Also fitted is active torque vectoring which works by applying brake pressure to the inside front wheel for more neutral cornering.
Unsurprisingly power is provided by a turbocharged four-cylinder boxer engine. Displacing 2,457 cc, it produces 305 bhp (227 kW / 309 PS) with 393 Nm (290 lb/ft) of torque and comes connected to a strengthened six-speed manual gearbox. Performance figures have yet to be released, though.
Thanks to a better exchange rate the WRX STI will cost £28,995 when sales begin this May. On a ‘pound per horsepower’ basis at least, that makes the Subaru good value versus its potential rivals.
