The STI S209 features a new low-restriction exhaust that both reduces back pressure and highlights the SUBARU BOXER engine’s unique rumble. It combines a redesigned intake system and lightweight flywheel to improve mid-range response and acceleration.

Underneath the iconic hood scoop, you’ll find an intercooler water-spray system. A quick pull of the column-mounted paddles activates the system to drop engine intake temperatures for a burst of increased power on demand.

The STI S209 has motorsports in its bones. STI engineers made extensive tuning changes to the suspension and body to improve cornering grip, turn-in, and handling balance based on their experience in motorsports and in on-track testing.  Enhancements such as STI-tuned Bilstein^® dampers, STI-designed front and rear draw stiffeners, a flexible STI tower bar, and pillow-ball suspension bushings result in significantly improved grip, handling balance, and stability.

The Brembo performance braking system features silver-finished six-piston front and two-piston rear monoblock calipers along with large cross-drilled rotors. New sport brake pads have been selected for excellent braking feel and greater fade resistance.

Incorporating lessons learned from the WRX STI Nürburgring Challenge racecar, the STI S209 is nearly 2 inches wider for more stability and better cornering. This wider body allows space for the 19-by-9-inch forged alloy wheels and 265 mm tires – the widest ever fitted to an STI model – providing more grip than ever before. The S209 offers two color combinations — WR Blue Pearl with Satin Gray wheels, or Crystal White Pearl with Satin Gold wheels.

With its Recaro performance front seats, including an eight-way power driver’s seat, the STI S209 features a cockpit that elevates precision driving and ergonomic comfort. An Ultrasuede-wrapped steering wheel gives you confident control, lap after lap, and a Multi-Function Display shows the status of key systems at a glance. There are also exclusive S-model red and silver trim and accents throughout the cabin, including S209 badging on the front headrests and the vehicle’s limited-edition number on a plate behind the shifter.
