Subaru plans to introduce the facelifted 2011 Subaru Impreza WRX at the New York Auto Show in April. The remodeled car will get a new, wider body with elements taken from the STI.
The all-wheel drive car winds up with a 1.5-inch increase to both the front and rear track. Large fender flares can also be seen, as well as a new set of 17-inch wheels that are now 1-inch wider than the 17x7-inchers used on the 2010 model year car. These changes contribute to a weight increase of 33 lbs (15 kg).
"The new wide-body designs mark another major step on the continuous evolution of the WRX to give driving enthusiasts an even more compelling all-wheel drive performance package," said Subaru exec Tom Doll.
What the new wide-body really does is further bridge the gap between the standard WRX and the WRX STI. The look applies to both the four- and five-door models. No change was made to the 2.5-liter four-cylinder Boxer engine producing 265 horsepower (269 PS / 198 kW) and up to 244 ft-lb of torque.
Also featured on the car is a new grille, redesigned headlights, and updated fog lamps. The car's interior is lined in checkered carbon black upholstery with red stitching. |
