| Safety |
| Safety standards that don't mess around |
For any performance-oriented vehicle to be safe to drive, it has to be able to respond to driver input with both speed and precision. The 2007 WRX STI succeeds with best-in-class active safety features ensuring your journey is both fun and carefree. Subaru's legendary symmetrical full-time All-Wheel Drive system sets the foundation, delivering sure-footed traction and control over everything from gravel country roads to icy highways. As well, ventilated Brembo® brakes, featuring ABS technology with a g-load sensor helps to ensure that braking forces are distributed while cornering. Equally beneficial are the standard passive safety features: an advanced ring-shaped reinforcement frame, smart front airbags, front side-impact airbags and energy-absorbing crumple zones all provide an extra layer of award winning occupant protection. |

Advance ring-shaped reinforcement frame
This all-embracing safety cage combines the roof, door pillars, window pillars and floor into one interconnected, energy-absorbing cell. The cell envelops the entire passenger cabin, thereby helping to dissipate impact energy, regardless of the direction from which it originates. |
 |
Visibility
With its height-adjustable seating position, sashless window frames and the ideal placement of pillars, the Impreza has been designed to offer the driver a clear and unobstructed view of the road. |

| Power that steers you |
| If you've ever witnessed a gripping World Rally Championship (WRC), in the most diverse conditions imaginable, and thought to yourself 'I could do that' - well here's your chance. Subaru uses virtually the same world-class technology as our famous FIA WRC rally cars, making the 2007 Impreza WRX STI that much more appealing for anyone ready to tackle the open road. With its potent, 293-hp, high-boost, turbocharged and intercooled SUBARU BOXER engine and performance oriented symmetrical full-time All Wheel Drive, you'll be sure to leave the competition in your dust. Add to the mix, sophisticated suspension technology, wind-cheating aerodynamics and a 6-speed manual transmission with a Driver Controlled Centre Differential (DCCD), and the WRX STI will give you the raw power you always knew you were ready for. |
|
|
Engine
In the 2007 Subaru WRX STI, you will find a 2.5-litre DOHC turbocharged and intercooled high-performance SUBARU BOXER engine with 293 hp and 290 lb-ft, that gives exotic cars a run for their money. |
|
Transmission
The 6-speed manual (6MT) with Driver Controlled Centre Differential (DCCD) found in the WRX STI provides better feel, response and acceleration. The DCCD monitors speed, steering wheel angles and other important data to assess driving conditions and driver input, while splitting torque for optimum turning capability and overall handling. In automatic mode, DCCD distributes torque from 41/59 (front/rear) split to a full 50/50 (front/rear) ratio delivering optimum traction and stability; in manual mode, the driver selects among six settings between 50/50 and 41/59 (front/rear). |
 |
Sport-tuned suspension
Tuned by Subaru Tecnica International (STI), the Impreza WRX STI's lightweight, fully-independent, sport-tuned suspension features front inverted struts with aluminum alloy lower L-arms as well as a front crossmember stiffener bar. In the rear, inverted struts with aluminum parallel links and crossmember stiffener plates help to ensure the exceptional driving dynamics of a pure-bred, rally-inspired sports car. |
 |
Turbocharger/Intercooler
The SUBARU BOXER engine develops such incredible power thanks in part to its high-boost turbocharger and large STI intercooler. The turbocharger forces air - at a maximum of 14.5 psi of boost - into the combustion chambers providing exceptional power, and the intercooler helps to keep that air cool and oxygen-rich therefore increasing combustion efficiency. The STI intercooler also features a manual water spray to keep air temperatures as low as possible, providing maximum power. |
 |
Brakes
Powerful brakes are a must and the STI delivers with huge, ventilated Brembo® brakes with four-piston calipers up front and two-piston calipers in the rear. The entire system is controlled by a Super Sport 4-channel/5-sensor/4-wheel Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) including a g-load sensor that helps ensure that braking forces are distributed effectively during cornering while braking. |
