Impreza WRX Premium 5-door in Satin White Pearl.

The 2009 Subaru Impreza WRX and WRX STI.

Because you love the rush.

Point A to point B doesn’t even begin to
describe it. You see an open stretch of
tarmac as a blank canvas, and driving
as a form of self-expression. You are not
alone. G-force junkies can be found all
over the world. And for years, untold
numbers have been united by their
passion for two incomparable high-

®

performance cars: the WRX

, now bolder

and badder—and its untamed sibling,

the WRX STI

. Step behind the wheel and
on the throttle of either, and you’ll know
exactly what has inspired so many.

WRX Premium 4-door with Carbon Black Checkered cloth and Satellite Radio and Navigation Package.

Elevating high performance by digging in
the dirt. Whether it’s dodging snowdrifts

in Sweden, taking flight at the X Games, or
grinding gravel in Greece, to be the best
in rally racing you have to be ready for
extremes. The Impreza WRX and WRX STI
put true performance in your hands with
the quickness, agility and adaptability
of the rally platform. It’s a design that’s
better than fast—it’s smart.

An Icon Forged in Competition

Legends don’t happen by accident. They’re made by being the best in design, engineering
and driving; and coming out on top when the dust clears. The Subaru Impreza got its
reputation by dominating competitions all over the world. The X Games, Rally America,
and even the pinnacle of rally racing competition, the World Rally Championship, have all
seen many Impreza victories. The power, agility and winning spirit of these champion cars
live on inside every WRX and STI.

Continuing the Bloodline

From radical changes in body style to subtle suspension tweaks, Subaru Tecnica
International—the high-performance wing of Subaru— takes the lessons learned in
the crucible of rally competition and applies them to the WRX and its signature model,
the STI. Each stage in the evolution of these models refl ects what’s needed on the race
course to stay competitive in one of the most demanding motorsports on earth.

2 GUYS WITH A PH.D. IN OMG

Going from showroom to showtime.

What SRT USA drivers Travis Pastrana and Ken Block do with

a vehicle, most of us will only ever dream of. Yet, there’s no

better platform for these X Games superheroes than the

Impreza WRX STI. Their competition vehicles may be modifi ed,

but the same control, response, and durability you get with a

WRX or an STI help give these daredevil athletes what they need

to redefi ne what’s possible behind the wheel.

Do not attempt. Stunts performed at sanctioned events. Specially equipped rally vehicle.
