More control, more agility, WRX STI more STI. The pursuit of performance never ends for Subaru, which is why the WRX STI features design enhancements that intensify its handling prowess. Utilizing the Dynamic Chassis Control Concept (DC3), all of the car’s elements — from the rigid frame geometry to the symmetrical full-time AWD — work together to create precise steering, dynamic cornering and immense amounts of traction. The 2011 WRX STI features a redesigned STI performance-tuned strut type front and double-wishbone rear suspension, including revised lower arms with pillow ball bushings and thicker front and rear anti-roll bars. These elements work together to increase stability, maximize tire contact and reduce understeer during cornering. In addition, the ride height has been lowered to produce sharper cornering and more immediate steering response. Finally, after extensive testing under rigorous conditions, the entire suspension system was made stiffer and then tuned for greater precision. The end result: The 2011 WRX STI is the fastest ever around corners of every type — and the best ever in terms of intuitive feedback and enhanced driver control. (In other words, mission accomplished.) 15
