The 2025 Subaru WRX tS, tuned by STI, offers significant handling improvements with upgraded suspension, brakes, and steering, but maintains the same engine power as the standard WRX. It features advanced dampers, supportive Recaro seats, and a digital gauge cluster, all at a price around $50,000, emphasizing sharp chassis dynamics and driving enjoyment over raw power or visual flair.
Subaru has introduced a new TR trim for the WRX, addressing previous concerns by bringing more sport-focused features to the manual transmission variant. The TR trim includes re-tuned dampers, stiffer springs, adjusted steering feel, and Recaro seats for improved driving experience. It also comes with Brembo brakes, loses its sunroof for a lower center of gravity, and retains Subaru's EyeSight safety technology. Pricing will be announced later this year, with availability in early 2024.
Steve from Australia built an impressive engine-swapped classic Mini by fitting a Subaru WRX engine behind the front seats. With the help of an engineer, he cut the floor out behind the seats and built a custom box frame to support the engine, while keeping the Mini's original body and wheelbase intact. The WRX engine, producing 255 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque, is almost entirely stock, making it a powerful and lightweight combination. Steve's attention to detail is evident in the seamless integration of a sunroof from a wrecked BMW-era Mini. This homemade WRX-powered classic Mini is a standout example of a well-built and unique car.
