  • Sti Differences Between Years
    Differences between each year of STi by STi FR3AK The Subaru Impreza STI, (formerly WRX STi, officially changed in 2006 to STI) is the highest standard-edition trim in the Subaru Impreza compact car line, produced by Japanese automaker Subaru. In the late 1980s, Subaru created the Subaru Tecnica International (STI) division to coordinate development for the FIA World Rally Championship and other motorsports activities. After the company had grown, the division was used to create high-performance consumer versions of the Subaru Impreza WRX, an all-wheel drive car with a turbocharged boxer engine, leading to the development of the Impreza WRX STi. The Subaru World Rally Team has used a race-prepared version of the WRX STI as its rally platform since the model trim's creation. First generation (1992 - 2000) First generation (GC) Production 1992-2001 Body style(s) 2-door coupé 4-door sedan 5-door station wagon Engine(s) 2.0 L H4 Wheelbase 99.2 in (2520 mm) Related Subaru Impreza Subaru Impreza WRX Subaru Forester There were six versions of the STi. The different versions were marketed with consecutive numbers. Another way to tell the version of a WRX STi was to look at the chassis code. Sedan STi Model Codes were GC8, Coupes were GM8 and Station Wagons were GF8, followed by a letter from A to G. There was a GC chassis version of the RS released in 2001 as well in the United States. One common misconception is that every Impreza between 92-01 were "GC8's". The code breakdown is as follows; G - stands for Impreza, C - sedan, M - coupe, F - station wagon, The 8 stands for the 2.0 L turbo motor.

FASTEST STAGE TIMES (EVENT) 12. WHAT IS THE PRODUCTION CAR WRC? 13. NEXT ROUND 1. EVENT SUMMARY Al-Attiyah returns to P-WRC winning form in Argentina Nasser Al-Attiyah (QAT, Subaru) hadn’t won a round of the FIA Production Car World Rally Championship since 2006 – the same year he won the title – but he returned to winning form on Rally Argentina. Co-driven by Giovanni Bernacchini, the reigning Middle East Rally Champion led the P-WRC section on three separate occasions, as an exciting battle for victory saw five drivers set fastest stage times and four different drivers lead. Al-Attiyah’s strategy of pacing himself over the rough and rocky terrain paid dividends, as he won the P-WRC category in Argentina for the third time in his career – and in doing so stakes his claim on this year’s title. At the halfway point of the season, Al-Attiyah is now second in the championship with 21 points – two points behind Armindo Araujo (P, Mitsubishi) and one point ahead of Patrik Sandell (S, Skoda). The rocky gravel roads around the rally’s base in Villa Carlos Paz – with the majority of the 331.80kms of stages taking place on the open plains of the Punilla Valley (day one and three) and in the Traslasierra Mountain region (day two) – were to prove a great challenge for the six Mitsubishi Lancers and five Subaru Imprezas which made up the P-WRC entry.
