Monday brought the unveiling of the new 2015 WRX STI and many racer-boys’ hearts beat more quickly. But be aware that only 1,000 of the blue paint, gold BBS forged alloy rims, and giant-winged STI limited Launch Edition beauties are available. If you don’t claim yours soon, you’ll have to resign yourself to a regular 2015 WRX STI with other colors and trim options.
Looks aren’t all that matters, however, when it comes to the 2015 WRX STI.A 2.5-liter turbocharged engine under the hood produces 305-horsepower 290 pound-feet of torque, just as we hoped for. Combined with a six-speed manual transmission, this makes the 2015 WRX STI the performance car enthusiasts are looking for out on the track. The Launch Edition has a short-throw shifter too. The Driver Controlled Center Differential All-Wheel Drive, a faster steering ratio, and Active Torque Vectoring all lend themselves to sharper cornering and control than past WRX STI models.
You’ll also find the Brembo Performance Brake System with Super Sport ABS to keep your stopping distance short and your brakes from overheating when putting your WRX STI through its paces -- and epic power slides.The 2015 WRX STI features a bit more refinement in the interior with Alcantara seating and an optional harman/kardon premium audio system. Another new feature in this model is the new nose-cone front fascia that uses one piece of aluminum for the grille and bumper cap. Add in some raptor-intense headlights and the 2015 WRX STI looks ready to devour the road. That’s just the beginning of all the new features on the 2015 WRX STI.
We’re excited to see exactly what the 2015 WRX STI brings to the table in April, when the vehicle goes on sale nationwide. If you’re a stickler for the electric blue of the Launch Edition, be sure to contact us to claim yours before they’re all gone. We expect the Launch Edition to be in high demand because of its popularity with car aficionados across the world, not just in America.
