STI to introduce the SUBARU IMPREZA WRX STI “S206”

Tokyo, November 24, 2011 – Subaru Tecnica International Inc. (STI)*1 is pleased to announce the launch of the

SUBARU IMPREZA WRX STI “S206”, special performance edition. The model will go on sale today through

Subaru dealerships in Japan.

Based on the 4-door SUBARU IMPREZA WRX STI, S206 is the newest model in STI’s “S” series. This series

dons the crown of STI tuned cars with advanced driving performance and exclusively-made items in both interior

and exterior designs. As with former STI models such as S204 and R205, S206 is founded on the IMPREZA WRX

STI line.

In addition, “NBR CHALLENGE PACKAGE” model will be released to commemorate the class win*2 at 24

Hours Nürburgring endurance race held in June, with the addition of a carbon roof and original dry carbon rear

spoiler. The exterior design incorporates racing car motifs and has an enhanced sporty feel.

Pre-orders for the “NBR CHALLENGE PACKAGE” have reached the limit for units available.

SUBARU IMPREZA WRX STI S206

S206’s body and engine were tuned to perform as expected of STI’s best model. The body employs exclusive

Bilstein shock absorbers, STI coil springs, a flexible tower bar (front), and a flexible draw stiffener (front). While

improving straight-driving performance, motion is steadied when going into corners so that precise and quick

turning is possible. Plus, “Michelin Pilot Super Sport” tires provide refined driving comfort in combination with

“BBS” 19-inch aluminum wheels made only for this model.

In the exclusively-made engine, the weight balance between piston, connecting rod, and crankshaft is optimized to

enhance the rev feel. Along with a ball bearing turbocharger, ECU (Engine Control Unit) with STI tuning, and a

sports muffler with lowered back pressure exhaust - all of which were designed for this model - the engine can

deliver 235kW (320PS) in maximum output and 431N.m (44kg.m) in maximum torque. The accelerator response is

heightened and low to mid range torque increased, thereby offering better driveability.

On the outside, the lower front spoiler and front fender outlet grille, both designed for this model, and the trunk

spoiler are among its distinctive features. The newly-made front grille and side garnishes were also employed for

aerodynamics improvement and a high grade appearance.

In the interior are exclusively-made items such as a genuine leather-wrapped steering wheel, “RECARO” racing

bucket seats, and seatbelts. Together they create a refined appearance and feel, appropriate for this flagship model.

My point being red isn't really a colour I would associate with lightning

Im sorry, but I can't get past those ugly guards. They just don't flow with the shape of the car in my opinion.

Subaru - refer to the E30 M3 or the R32 GTR for how to flare guards but make it look right! (or maybe this is just a sign I am stuck in the 80's?).

[Swindog]

i think the front with the guards make it look like its got a huge head and little body. You know the types of guys. The gym bunnys with big arms and little legs.

Out of proportion in that shot but the angle of the photo may not help as ive seen them in real life and they look good.
