Subaru Impreza WRX and WRX STI - The Complete Story

Few cars in modern times have caused as much of a stir as the turbocharged Subaru Impreza. It came from nowhere at the start of the 1990s to claim three successive World Rally Championships for its makers in the middle of that decade, and went on to become an enthusiasts' car thanks to is affordability, high performance - and, of course, the glorious exhaust note of its unusual flat-four 'boxer' engine.

This book examines the three generations of Subaru Impreza WRX and WRX STI from 1992 - 2012, including how the roadgoing cars were developed from the successful rally models, production history and specification details.
Topics covered include: history of the Impreza, and early days in competition with the Leone and the Legacy models, construction and derivatives of the distinctive flat-four engine, innovations in the Impreza's four-wheel-drive system plus design and specifications for special editions.

Subaru Impreza, la vague bleue

Rarement une marque automobile n'a atteint en si peu de temps une telle notoriété planétaire. Méconnue à l'orée des années quatre-vingt, la firme Subaru est soudainement sortie de l'anonymat au rythme des victoires dans les rallyes du championnat du monde de sa dernière-née, l'Impreza.

Familiale plutôt banale, cette dernière va très vite devenir une icône et la référence des berlines sportives, dès l'introduction de la 2.0 GT turbo. Pilotée par les plus grands (Colin McRae, Carlos Sainz, Mikko Hirvonen, Timo Makinen, Juha Kankkunen, Kenneth Eriksson, Richard Burns, Petter Solberg) l'Impreza s'est forgée un palmarès enviable :
- trois titres de champion du monde des rallyes "constructeurs" à Subaru
- 3 fois championne du monde " pilotes " permettant à Colin McRae (1995), Richard Burns (2001) et Petter Solberg (2003) de coiffer la couronne mondiale
- plusieurs fois championne de France.
Elle est engagée en 2011 dans divers championnats dont le championnat de France des rallyes.
