Subaru announced the new Forester STi Version, only available in Japan. The new model will be for sale through its Subaru dealerships nationwide beginning on May 6. Developed as a pure sport utility vehicle with superb on-road driving performance, the Forester STi Version first debuted in February 2004 and has since enjoyed popularity and high acclaim in Japan.
Further embodying the pure SUV concept, the new STi features a 2.5-litre, 4-cylinder, DOHC turbo engine - a horizontally opposed boxer engine that provides ample torque and high power output.
The standard Forester 2.5XT packs a 2.5-litre intercooled turbo boxer engine and outputs a more than useful 210 HP (155kW), but the STI version hikes power even more, a whole 51 HP has been added, taking the total power output to 261 HP (195 kW).
The model is packaged with a 6-speed STi manual transmission, 18-inch tires, and a high-performance braking system that incorporates Brembo components.
It is accentuated by sporty interior and exterior designs, highlighted by a newly designed front bumper and grille, front bucket seats, as well as a minimum ground clearance of only 170 mm, 30 mm lower than other Forester models. There's also a blacked-out centre console, red stitching on the leather steering wheel, gear shifter and handbrake, plus a 240 km/h speedometer and lots of STi stickers.
The Forester STi Version is the newest addition to the Forester series, which has been developed around the basic concept of a crossover SUV with the best of both worlds. With dynamic and stylish exterior designs, the Forester has been highly reputed for its outstanding driving performance, striking an uncompromising balance between excellent driving stability and stellar riding comfort.
