The Subaru Impreza WRX STI is the highest standard-edition trim in the Subaru Impreza compact car line, produced by Japanese automaker Subaru.

In the late 1980s, Subaru created the Subaru Tecnica International (STI) division to coordinate development for the FIA World Rally Championship and other motorsports activities. After the company had grown, the division was used to create high-performance consumer versions of the Subaru Impreza WRX, an all-wheel drive car with a turbocharged flat-4 engine, leading to the development of the Impreza WRX STi. The Subaru World Rally Team has used a race-prepared version of the WRX STI as its rally platform since the model trim's creation.

While the 2008 Subaru WRX was officially unveiled at the 2007 New York Autoshow, currently very little information is publicly known about the new Subaru WRX STI. The STI will receive a higher degree of parts to differentiate it from its Impreza WRX brethren. Unlike the Subaru WRX, the STI will use aluminum suspension components and will be available only as a 5-door wagon, and will have different fenders than that of the Subaru WRX (breaking with previous tradition). Apparently, a Subaru rep stated to an IWSTI.COM member that the new Subaru WRX STI would be 8.5" wider than the new WRX, and that power output will be 305 (296 for the Euro market) HP coming from a Legacy GT-derived 2.5L motor. According to leaked documents posted on NASIOC.com, the Subaru WRX STI will be sold to public starting January 2008 as a 2009 model. (An update: It will be sold in December 2007 as a 2008 model.) At the New York Autoshow, a Subaru spokesman confirmed that the Impreza WRC will be based on the hatch platform, due to its lower polar moment of inertia.

The 2008 Subaru WRX appeared in its definitive version at the 2007 Tokyo Motor Show. Subaru has released a J-spec version, and will have a 2.0L 304 bhp (227 kW/308 PS) EJ207 engine with a twin scroll turbocharger, while other versions of the car will have a 2.5L 305 bhp (227 kW/309 PS) EJ257 engine with a single-scroll VF48 turbocharger. The 2008 car is expected to benefit from a lower polar moment of inertia due to smaller overhangs, and also features a double wishbone rear suspension.

The US 2008 Subaru WRX. Has a new 'wide body 5-door' chassis is 70.7 in (1796 mm) wide compared to 68.5 in (1740 mm) for the regular WRX '5-door' chassis. Curb weight varies from 3373 lb (1530 kg) to 3395 lb (1540 kg) depending on the options.
