|
Subaru has updated its frisky turbocharged 2.5-liter boxer engine, which in the new WRX makes 224 horsepower at 5,200 rpm and 226 lb.-ft. torque at 2,800 rpm. The engine makes more peak torque a full 800 rpm lower in the rev range, is 50 lbs. lighter than before, and is placed lower in the chassis for a more stable center of gravity and improved handling. As before, the Subaru WRX comes standard with Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, and can now be ordered with Vehicle Dynamics Control (that's stability control to you). Subaru has also swapped in a sophisticated double-wishbone rear suspension for a better ride, lower road noise, and less intrusion into the cargo area.
