Subaru of America, Inc. has introduced the new 2011 Subaru Impreza WRX models, available in 4 - and 5-door variants. Both five-door and four-door models now feature wide body design similar to the WRX STI, which underlines the high performance of both models. The new design of the Impreza WRX is based on a “wide and low” concept. The wider body designs give an approximately 1.5-inch increase in front and rear track. In front, the car feature sharpened bumper corners and wider, blacked-out fog lamp nacelles, and a jutting lip spoiler with three-dimensional detailing.
The newly designed front grille highlights the headlights’ shape, accentuated by larger grille and bumper intake openings. The wider fenders are stretched out on the side more than the tail lamps. Significantly, curb weight for the 2011 WRX models increases by just 33 pounds over the “original body” 2010 models. In the WRX interior, red stitching accents the exclusive carbon black checkered upholstery. With the new design, the 2011 WRX models present firmer rear subframe bushings and wider 17-inch wheels and tires deliver improved grip in the 2011 WRX. The standard wheels are now 17 x 8-inches vs. 17 x 7- inches in the 2010 model, and tire size is now 235/45R17 vs. 225/45R17.
The 2011 Impreza WRX uses the Continuous AWD version of Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive. Both the WRX 4- and 5-door models are powered by a 265-hp turbocharged/intercooled 2.5-liter 4-cylinder. SUBARU-BOXER® engine teamed with a 5-speed manual transmission. This engine produces 244 lb.-ft. of peak torque at 4,000 rpm. The 2011 Impreza WRX 4- and 5-door models will arrive in Subaru dealerships this summer.
