From an outsider"s view, the United States of America may look a slightly troublesome, perhaps vitriolic place to live at the moment. But a glimmer of happiness has appeared in the shape of, well, a 1990s rally refugee that"s still not given up the game. This is the US-only Subaru WRX STI S209, and we want it very, very much. Its 341bhp 2.5-litre flat-four engine makes it the most powerful Impreza-shaped thing ever (from the factory), and there"s an abundance of deeply nerdy tweaks to help it handle nearly 40bhp more than standard. The bigger body kit accommodates wider tracks, there are serious, S209-specific tyres wrapped around forged BBS wheels and tucked behind those are plump Brembo brakes that provide in Subaru"s rather endearing words stout stopping force".
