Every WRX STI comes standard with a wide array of technologies dedicated to taking the
experience of high-performance driving to the next level. At its core beats the heart of a champion:
the turbocharged 2.5-litre SUBARU BOXER engine. This award-winning engine produces a
generous 305 horsepower and maximum torque of 290 Ib-ft. It also features Dual Active Valve
Control, optimized combustion and a free-flowing quad-tipped exhaust for invigorating output,
instant acceleration, inspiring response and an intoxicating sound across the entire rev range.

SI-DRIVE (SUBARU INTELLIGENT DRIVE)
With the SI-DRIVE engine management system, drivers of the WRX STI
can choose among three different drive modes to match their mood:
Intelligent Mode (I) delivers smoothness in low-traction conditions and
boosts fuel economy by as much as 10%; it’s perfect for driving around
town and in stop-and-go traffic.
Sport Mode (S) is for all-around use; it provides linear throttle response
for everyday driving situations and extra engine power when needed.
Sport Sharp Mode (S#) exploits the full potential of the SUBARU BOXER
engine; it delivers instant throttle response for maximum enjoyment.
