Subaru Teases WRX STI, Sets January 9 Reveal

Teaser footage shows a WR Blue sedan wearing STI badging, with specifications still unannounced.

Overview

  • Subaru confirms a January 9 debut that aligns with the Tokyo Auto Salon, where media expect the unveiling.
  • The clips feature a grille-mounted pink STI badge, the sound of a revving boxer engine and a clearly sedan body.
  • Brief shots hint at a larger bonnet vent, twin exhaust outlets and what appear to be 19-inch wheels, while a prominent rear wing is not clearly shown.
  • Subaru has not disclosed powertrain, transmission, performance figures or market availability, leaving key details for the event.
  • Reporting anticipates a flagship above the tS/Spec B with a likely six-speed manual and more power, diverging from recent hatch concepts and following limited-run STI variants in Japan.
