Impreza WRX STI S206 (Japan, 2012)

Based on the the new STI sedan, the Subaru Impreza WRX STI S206 partially commemorates Subaru class win at the 2011 24 Hours of the Nuerburgring. The car gets additional power thanks to significant upgrades to the engine internals, has a better suspension and subtly more sporty exterior.

The STI S206 benefits from a lot of extra performance kit. The engine has been balanced and crankshaft lightened to quicken revving. The ECU has been retuned, and the S206 gets a freer flowing cat-back exhaust. All of the these tweaks add 20hp to the standard STI bringing it up to 320hp. Subaru also says that throttle response has been improved in the low and mid rev ranges. The S206 gets an updated Bilstein suspension with STI springs. It rides on 19in BBS wheels with Michelin Pilot Sport Tires. On the outside, the S206 has a different front bumper and side garnishes. The interior gets Recaro seats and a leather wrapped steering wheel.
