Subaru reveals its Most Powerful Model Ever with Limited-Edition STI S209

Good thing is the first S-model to be offered in the U.S., the S209 is the most powerful, best-handling, and most exciting vehicle STI has ever created. From the intake through the turbocharged SUBARU BOXER® engine to the drivetrain and down to the exhaust, STI engineers retuned the SubaruWRX STI into something new, with 341 horsepower and a 0 to 60 mph time of less than 5 seconds. Book your STIS209 at any Subaru dealership near you.

The STI S209 is the latest incarnation of the S-Series, which goes back almost two decades to the S201. Each new S-model has pushed the limit set by its predecessor and each could be considered a study of everything STI engineers knew about motorsports and vehicle development engineering at the time. Along with an uprated fuel pump, injectors, and a remapped engine control unit.

The suspension, Brembo® brakes, and chassis were upgraded and modified for even better cornering, traction, and response. Every new S-model becomes the new standard for STI engineering, and the S209 is no exception.
