2018 Subaru WRX STI Ready To Drop EJ Engine

The WRX STI is one of the most well known rally cars ever made and its road version is as impressive as the race-car. However, even though the car still has plenty of followers, it is not as good as it used to be. One of the main reasons for that is the engine which is a rather old EJ unit that has its roots back in the ‘90s. The chassis is not up to the task of competing with the newest cars in its class either. Luckily though all of this is about to change because the 2018 Subaru WRX STI is in the works. So far there have been only rumors about this new model but it seems that it might be a game changer.

Subaru has been letting owners add hp while keeping costs down on putting out a new engine.

I'm hoping Subaru brings something with 400hp to the table.

P.s.

BRING BACK THE DAMN HATCHBACK WRX & STI!!!!

Subaru usually has a 5-6 year life cycle on models. The current WRX debuted in 2015 making the 2018 version a 4th year product cycle. I don't see Subaru redesigning the WRX from the new 17 Impreza platform until 2019 as a 2020 model. the 2018 WRX/STI is expected to be a mid cycle refresh only.
