The 2022 Subaru WRX will be a true sports car
An essential configuration to offer a first-rate sporty sensation and confirming, once again, that real sports cars will continue to prevail over automatic transmission. This will be the transmission of the new Subaru WRX, which will have the powerful engine of gasoline four-cylinder boxer with 2.4 liters, known internally as «FA24».
A block that is already offered under the hood of the Ascent and Outback in the United States, but that, unlike these models, will offer a much higher performance. It is expected that maximum power is 280 hp in the most basic versions, but it will also reach some incredible 400 hp in the most radical version of the Subaru WRX STI that will arrive a year later, in mid-2023.
No less than a hundred horses more than the most recent WRX STI, and with a more aggressive aesthetic to match. The new Subaru WRX will not arrive in Europe either, being sold in Japan and the United States, one more that adds to the list of new high-performance sports cars that will pass the Old Continent such as the Subaru BRZ or the new Nissan Z. Only the new Toyota GR 86.
