Subaru 2005 - Manual (Page 17)

AT SUBARU, WE RACE not for the thrill of victory or the accolades of fans. We race because it is only in the heat of
world rally competition that our vehicles are put to the ultimate test. It is here that the envelope is pushed, new
technologies are developed, and engineering and innovation become one. The Subaru Boxer engine and the
advanced Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive systems found within all Impreza models are two of the many dividends this
racing experience has contributed to the real-world, on-road performance of our vehicles. Others include engine-
speed-sensing rack-and-pinion steering. An incredibly rigid yet lightweight body
structure, which helps to eliminate body flex for superior handling character-
istics. Not to mention an advanced 4-wheel independent suspension,
which works to ensure that all four wheels are firmly planted at all
times. Integrated with our sophisticated drivetrain,
these components work in unison to provide
a rally-bred driving experience
that is second to none.
24 | Performance/Capability
IMPREZA WRX STi. Uncompromising performance demands best-of-breed engineering. So the WRX STi features a wide
range of race-proven technologies, including a reinforced inverted-strut suspension for increased lateral rigidity during
hard cornering. A helical limited-slip front differential that senses a left-to-right torque difference and then works quickly
to help correct inside wheel spin without impeding steering response. A Brembo performance
brake system featuring huge ventilated discs at all four wheels. Super Sport ABS that utilizes
a lateral g-sensor to control braking pressure
at each rear wheel independently for
maximum braking performance.
Plus aggressive 17-inch
BBS lightweight
aluminum-alloy wheels with ultra high-
performance tires 1 for a powerful grip.

The rally-inspired inverted struts
of the WRX STi increase lateral
rigidity, improving performance
under hard cornering.
1 Ultra high-performance summer-rated tires are best suited for driving under dry
conditions and not recommended for driving on slippery, snow-covered or icy roads.
