The hallowed WRX STI badge goes into hibernation awaiting electrification, Subaru says...
There are few more distinctive soundtracks in the automotive world than a Subaru flat-four turbo. Even in cars as humble as the Forester and Legacy, the configuration gave them a USP. And nowhere, of course, was the turbo boxer more special than in an Impreza STI, combining the idiosyncratic burble with manic performance. Which must have persuaded a few Evo fans to switch allegiance back in the day.
Indeed, Subaru is so aware of the significance of the STI badge - and, by extension, the engine that powers it - that a statement has been issued about the future of its performance flagship. Which is novel, given many manufacturers wait to be confronted. It confirms that the STI badge will not make it to the current WRX, launched just last year.
The announcement effectively spells the end for the combustion engined STI Subarus. Not unexpected, and of less relevance to UK customers now than it would have been 10 years ago, but still a big moment for the brand so well known for the little pink badge. And bad news, surely, for anyone keen to relive the Subaru glory days with a classic STI, because they're already worth quite a lot.
