2008 WRX STi Official Teaser

September 21, 2007 by George Skentzos  

In the lead up to the release of Subaru’s halo car, the all-new Impreza WRX STi, Subaru have released this first official teaser image.

Not making its official debut until the Tokyo Motor Show next month, the STi is tipped to make around 225kW from its four-cylinder boxer-engine.

The teaser confirms obvious changes seen in spy shots including larger pumped guards, a larger intake as well as the new front bumper which includes not only a pair of side vents but also fog lights.

This is unusual as it may indicate Subaru are no longer using fog light covers with trademark STi insignia which is typical of previous STi models.

Regardless the STi is shaping to be an impressive package which may rival the Evo yet.

      Trust me, you don’t want the sedan.

      As Nick said the STi is only in hatch form. They credited this to its superior ability to positively slide out its rear end.

      Nice try Subaru but the the Lancer Evo has “always” been the superior package and now with the next generation Mitsubishi being released Subaru better go back to the drawing board as they have with their other models and redesign them as they are butt ugly!

      The new EVO is extremely aggressive looking and I too have been interested, especially with the new revised platform.

      But this STi version/model… is so close to its WRC shape. The pumped guards/popped out fenders make it look tough and unique. Its like the “22B” reborn… exterior wise anyways, as most know that unqiue model was basically a sticker free WRC car… almost.

      This STi basically resembles the images of the new WRC… I’m picturing 17×9 Gold BBS wheels (same as past STi… but fatter)… and it looks mighty beastly. And the quad exhaust doesnt hurt either…

      I’m likin it… The Evo still has the ever so aggressive face, but very Audi-esque…. cross breed with R34.

      Although it’s sorta consistent with the recent spyshots released today, it looks like it’s been painted rather than a ‘photo’, especially around the bonnet scoop.

      The bonnet scoop looks a tad smaller in the spyshots.

      It reminds me of a bumper car you find at fair grounds and royal shows. Must be the wrapped line from the fenders around to the front. Or maybe it reminds me of a car wearing an orthodontist head brace. Either way, not feeling it.

      they look pritty good, I just saw one on the road tonight.. and raced it in my 88 nissan cefiro..the driver looked rather disapointed when i could (just)outrun him but we did chat at every set of lights. mmmmmm 225kw isnt enough! lol the things do 0= 100kph in 5.2 sec’s. the new evo doesnt scare me long live the RB20det
