Tuning. Subaru. Impreza WRX STI.At the heart of the new Subaru Cosworth Impreza is a heavily revised version of the marque's famous horizontally-opposed, all-aluminium Boxer engine. The 'flat-four' power unit is removed from the car, hand finished, and several internal and ancillary components are replaced with up-rated items, specified by Cosworth.As with all Impreza 'Boxer' engines, the STI Cosworth unit features twin overhead camshafts per cylinder bank (DOHC) plus an Active Valve Control System (AVCS) to deliver variable valve timing and enhance low-speed pulling power.The focus of the Cosworth engine upgrade was to keep the enhancements simple, efficient and as close as possible to the original equipment design to guarantee reliability and easy maintenance at regular Subaru dealerships.Internal upgrades include high-performance pistons, which are manufactured using the same methods as those employed to create Cosworth's Formula 1 pistons. Special features reduce carbon build-up, minimise friction and reduce weight.Fri, 09 Apr 2010 04:55:01 GMThttps://d4u.com.ua/en/series/Subaru-Impreza-WRX-STI/go/Subaru-Impreza-WRX-STI-2011/tuning.details.htmlNews. Tuning. Subaru. Impreza WRX STI.Subaru of America introduced a new 4-door version of the Subaru Impreza WRX STI performance flagship model. This will be the first time that the Subaru Impreza WRX STI has been offered in two body styles (5-door and 4-door). In addition to the new styling, the 2011 WRX STI features significantly revised suspension tuning and lighter 18-inch wheels for even sharper handling.The Subaru Impreza WRX STI has been a recipient of continuous improvement since its introduction. Most recently, the 2010 WRX STI Special Edition previewed some of the suspension enhancements now migrated to the 2011 Subaru Impreza WRX STI. Thorough and painstakingly detailed chassis development, including testing on Germany's famed Nurburgring racetrack, has resulted in the best-handling Impreza WRX STI models Subaru has ever offered.Sun, 10 Jan 2010 22:46:22 GMThttps://d4u.com.ua/en/series/Subaru-Impreza-WRX-STI/go/2010-Subaru-Impreza-R205/tuning.details.htmlNews. Tuning. Subaru. Impreza WRX STI.Based on the Subaru Impreza WRX STI, the R205 enhanced the sheer driving performance it shares with former special performance models, such as the "S203" and the "S204", developed by STI. The Subaru Impreza R205 is the top performance model of the WRX STI. It features new and exclusive equipment and makes full use of specially designed features and performance parts of the "WRX STI spec C" model, the sporty performance model launched 2009. The "R" of R205 stands for "Road Sport".Most efforts focused on refining handling performance by adopting STI tuned dampers, coil springs, flexible type strut tower bar, flexible type lower arm stiffener of front suspension, and Bridgestone's specially designed RE070 tyres. Thus the Subaru Impreza R205 ideally balances agile driving and confident driveability by enhancing a linear steering response and excellent road-holding capability. This is exactly the distinctive ride quality that STI is pursuing as its vehicle development theme, "strength and nimbleness" driving.Sun, 01 Nov 2009 04:26:37 GMThttps://d4u.com.ua/en/series/Subaru-Impreza-WRX-STI/go/Subaru-Impreza-WRX-STI-Carbon-2010/tuning.details.htmlNews. Tuning. Subaru. Impreza WRX STI.The new Subaru Impreza WRX STI Carbon caters to driving enthusiasts - so long as they also demand an automatic transmission in the japanese hot hatch.As the suffix suggests, Subaru's injected a considerable amount of carbon fiber into its STI hot-hatch. Most (if not all) of the composite material appears in the car's roof, as a carbon-fiber panel replaces the stock steel stamping. Subaru claims the use of carbon fiber in the roof not only reduces weight, but also lowers the car's center of gravity.Oddly enough, Subaru also equipped the STI Carbon with a five-speed automatic transmission. Although we've seen quick-shifting dual-clutch transmissions in other rally weapons (we're looking at you, Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution MR), we've not seen a conventional automatic offered bolted in one for quite some time. In the U.S., the WRX STI comes only with a six-speed manual, and the only "performance-tuned" Impreza available with an automatic is the 2.5 GT.
