20th Anniversary Subaru Impreza WRX STi Revealed For Japan
Subaru is celebrating 20 years of hi-po Scoobies with a 300-unit run of WRX STi Anniversary Edition models. The main differences of importance to enthusiasts are in the suspension, where new coilover damper units stiffen up the handling and carry 18-inch alloy wheels as standard equipment. Flat black details and special badging round out the exterior differences, while the interior gets cosmetic touches like red seat stitching, a red stop/start button and even more badging, all for the equivalent of about $42k US. A little flash, no more dash. Happy anniversary.

Subaru Takumi Concept Previews New Impreza WRX STi Spec C
This version of the Subaru Impreza WRX STi, known as the Takumi concept, gives us a hint of what's in store for the upcoming Spec C hardcore version. Visually, there's not much to distinguish this car from a normal STi besides the 12-spoke rims, though it's said the production Spec C will feature subtle body tweaks including a roof scoop. Rest assured, the important changes are under the skin, with beefed-up drivetrain components, springs, shocks and other suspension bits. No word on exactly how much power this hardened version will make, but it's sure to be a much more focused driver's car no matter what. Of course, if even the standard STi feels like overkill to you, there's always the newly improved 2009 Impreza WRX.

2009 Subaru Impreza WRX
"Stop Speeding Yanks!" "Slow the f#*k down!," "Go home!" Something about the 2009 Subaru Impreza WRX makes you want to speed. And here in Canada, where they take the law literally, blatantly flouting limits really stands out. Of course, something about the WRX will always sit uncomfortably with the surrounding world, no matter the pace. While it's been modified for 2009, just one year after its launch with 41 more horsepower, stiffened suspension and STI-esque bodykit, it remains one of the ugliest cars on sale.

How To Make A Subaru WRX STI Rally Car In 800 Hours
This is a damn awesome video of how the guys at Subaru Rally Team USA tear down and build up a stock Subaru WRX STI into a snarling rally beast in about 800 hours of work — all compressed into three minutes. The only thing that would make this better is if it was scored with "Flight of the Bumblebee," as obviously clichéd as that is. We were most impressed with the speed with which these guys tore the little Subie down to bare frame; it's like the car just fell apart when they touched it. Amazing. [PistonHeads] -

2009 Subaru Impreza WRX: A Taste Of STI At 265 HP
For 2009, the Subaru Impreza lineup will get a good shakeup for 2009, with the 2009 Subaru WRX getting an expected STI-like bump in power to 265 HP and 244 lb-ft of torque. Additionally, it'll get a whole load of new suspension tweaks and tunes, an upgraded aero and handling package. An additional Impreza's being added to the lineup — it's the Subaru 2.5 GT and in fairness, it seems more like the 2.5 GT moniker is being applied to the current WRX, with the new WRX being the real "new" car in the lineup. That makes the new 'Rex more or less the average between the old one and the WRX STI. Our snap judgment and the full press release below the jump.

Subaru Shows Trio Of Tuned WRX Imprezas At British Motor Show
Subaru has unveiled a threesome of high-performance WRX Imprezas at the British International Motor Show today, one of which could even be considered a 911-killer. First of the three was a lightly massaged Subaru WRX-S, with power bumped from 230 HP up to a very respectable 251 HP. But that's a mere pittance compared with the Impreza WRX STI 330S and an Evo-killing 325 HP. And what's this? The Subaru Impreza WRX STI 380S? If you've been following along with the upward progression, it'll be no surprise this third one's a monster with 375 HP mill under-hood, good for a mind-bending 4.4 second run to sixty. Two of the three Subies will definitely be terrorizing the peaceful British public soon. Hit the jump to find out which.

Leaked Memo Claims 2009 Subaru Impreza WRX To Get 265 HP, New GT Level Model
A member of the NASIOC forum has posted what appears to be a memo leaked from Subaru to the company's dealers revealing the revelation of a new Impreza GT. Just as importantly, the 2009 WRX's new 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gets an additional 41 HP, bringing the total power up to a whopping 265 HP. Also available will be a manual transmission, upgraded suspension and a more STI-like front end. We really liked the 2008 Subaru WRX STI, but with these changes, we're beginning to think the 2009 Subaru WRX may make just as much sense for many buyers. Well, except for that whole lack-of-a-stick thing on the GT model. More details below the jump on what to expect from the '09 Subie WRX. More » -

Subaru WRX STI Spec C Spotted Testing In Germany
The sneaky car-spies at KGP have nabbed shots of what they claim to be a rally-style Subaru WRX STI Spec C testing on the Nurburgring, deep in the hinterlands of Germany. The stripped down Subie will feature only the bare essentials in an effort to save weight and go fast. Early word pegs the bottom line at 150-200 pounds lighter than the current STI. We're also told the car will get beefier brakes, engine enhancements and a redesigned rear diffuser. Full spy report and more photos below.

Subaru Impreza WRX STI Spec C Spied?
If the previous generations were any indication, you'd expect an even more hardcore version of the Subaru Impreza WRX STI to be on the way in the form of a Subaru Impreza WRX STI Spec C. And breathe. Yes, which each new name expansion, the humble Impreza becomes mutated progressively more into a merciless monster. This new shot shows what appears to be the Spec C exposing itself in the wild, but we're not so easily convinced. More »
