Subaru confirms STI S209 for Detroit Auto Show, to no one's surprise
https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/subaru-wrx-sti-s209-detroit-auto-show/
For starters, what'll be under the hood? As Andrew Krok smartly pointed out last week, Subaru's most recent special STI -- the not-for-US S208 -- used a 2.0-liter, turbocharged H4 engine. The current, US-spec STI, meanwhile, uses a 2.5-liter H4 engine. Our money's on the 2.5 for the US-spec S209, tuned somewhere north of the 310 horsepower and 290 pound-feet of torque it makes in the STI Type RA.
Regardless of engine, expect the S209 to get a number of tasty performance upgrades. The S208 came with a faster steering rack, new front strut tower brace, Bilstein dampers and model-specific, 19-inch wheels, among other niceties.
