Serious performance attributes for very serious performance cars: The prominent wheel arches feature functional cooling vents and ducts that manage airflow around the wheels, and draw heat away from the engine. High-profile Rear-wing Spoiler (WRX STI models – 4-door) Low-profile Rear Spoiler (WRX models – 4-door) Standard on the 4-door version of the WRX STI, this trunk-mounted spoiler is code-named “the wing” for very good reason – it’s been wind-tunnel engineered to deliver massive amounts of downforce. WRX STI Sport-tech Package Side Cooling Vents The 4-door and 5-door models come standard with their own versions of a rear underbody diffuser for improved aerodynamic performance and increased downforce. Also standard: a quad-tipped exhaust that’s been tuned for efficient performance and exciting sound. Standard on the WRX, this trunk-mounted rear spoiler is understated but effective nevertheless. It combines racy styling with aerodynamic efficiency, making it the perfect addition to this compelling sports car. 18-inch Aluminum Alloy Wheels (WRX STI models) 17-inch Aluminum Alloy Wheels (WRX models) The WRX STI Sport-tech Package features lightweight, 18-inch alloy wheels that have been designed and engineered for top performance. These 14-spoke wheels feature a shiny, high-lustre finish, while the same wheels on the base model are coated in a dark charcoal finish for a more dramatic effect. EXTERIOR FEATURES Rear Underbody Diffuser and Quad-tipped Exhaust Standard on the WRX is this set of 15-spoke, 17-inch alloy wheels that feature a high-tech, gunmetal finish that creates a memorable and menacing look. 71
