Tamiya Subaru Impreza WRX STI (1/24)

There is no better way to test the toughness of an automobile than by

entering it in the World Rally Championships (WRC). Rally cars are

engineered to race over paved, dirt and snow/ice covered roads at

breakneck speeds and in all kinds of weather. Success in these races

virtually guarantees sparking consumer interest in purchasing the

production car. Subaru understood this when they first entered the WRC

back in 1990. Their first contender, the Legacy was succeeded by the

more compact Impreza, which was imbued with two years of tested

technology. This sports sedan generated intense popularity among

consumers looking for a street car with the guts of a WRC contender. In

August 2000, a second generation of the Impreza was born. One of the

specially tuned versions of this car was the Impreza WRX STi (Subaru

Tecnica International). Its 2-litre 4-cylinder turbo engine adopts a

reinforced cylinder block, molybdenum coated steel pistons, high

capacity turbo and intercooler. The power of the STi version was

boosted to 280hp with a 38kgm maximum torque. This power is efficiently

transmitted to the four wheels via a 6-speed manual transmission, also

developed by STi. The suspension adopts rally-proven 4-wheel struts,

ensuring a smooth ride over all kinds of road conditions. Blister style

over-fenders on the powerful four-door body and an enlarged air intake

on the hood give the Impreza WRX STi, as its name suggests, a truly

impressive appearance.
