Subaru Impreza WRX STI Carbon at the 2009 Tokyo Motor Show

Subaru officially debuted its latest creation at the Tokyo Motor Show – the Impreza WRX STi Carbon. The new sport hatchback, which is based on the A-Line model, has a roof made of carbonfiber, giving the car better hp/weight ratio and lowering the center of gravity. In turn, this leads to better traction and handling.
In addition, Subaru updated the interior by using more luxurious materials thus upping the comfort level of passengers. Another feature that makes the new Impreza WRX STi Carbon stand out is the 5-speed automatic gearbox, which is a precedent for the WRX STi models. There may be hardcore fans who wouldn’t appreciate the changes but the company is well aware of that and counters that it seeks to provide a higher degree of comfort for its customers. Two engines are available in the option list for Subaru Impreza WRX STi Carbon: a 2.0-litre turbo with 308hp and 422Nm of torque and a 2.5-litre turbo with 300hp and maximum torque of 407Nm. The new Subaru WRX STi Carbon will be unveiled for the audience on October 24. Pricing will be announced later this year.
