Subaru's WRX, standing for World Rally Experimental, was launched in 1992 as a rally-inspired performance car, achieving significant success in World Rally Championship and other competitions, and has evolved over the years into a standalone model with advanced performance and safety features, continuing its legacy of rally-bred performance into 2025.

Subaru has unveiled its latest WRX-based rally car, the Subaru Motorsports WRX Rally, which will debut at the Ojibwe Forests Rally in August. Powered by a custom-built 2.0-liter four-cylinder boxer engine, the car produces 320 horsepower and 380 pound-feet of torque. Built by Subaru's technical partner Vermont SportsCar, it features a fully seam-welded body, custom suspension, FIA-spec roll cage, and a carbon fiber widebody with a rear wing for added downforce. While not available for purchase, the rally car offers a glimpse into what a hotter WRX could be, as Subaru has yet to reveal an STI version of the sedan.
