2.5-Litre turbo engine with 4-cylinder. A six-speed manual gearbox, torque vectoring technology, limited-slip differentials, and support realm the STI glued to the track surface. Its guidance is laser-quick and its brakes grip like loopy. The results make it pleasing to strain the track and sprint like a rocket, but it surely comes with the price of a punishing trip and a punishing price tag too.
Subaru's 2.0-Litre turbocharged, horizontally adversarial four-cylinder boxer engine continues to empower the 2016 WRX.
