Details on Subaru Forester
Limited information has been disclosed, aside from a solitary teaser image that reveals a section of the vehicle’s wheel. This design seems to correspond with the wheels seen on a prototype for a more potent WRX model that emerged in May.
The wheels on the prototype surpassed the standard 17-inch size typically seen on the WRX. They also featured a Brembo brake system, complete with red calipers and cross-drilled rotors that nearly touch the inner edge of the wheel rim. Additionally, a modest spoiler was affixed to the vehicle’s trunk lid.
As for potential alterations to the powertrain, it remains uncertain whether the WRX TR will receive any modifications. The current WRX is equipped with a 2.4-liter turbocharged flat-4 engine that outputs a maximum of 271 horsepower. Transmission options for this model include either a 6-speed manual or a continuously variable transmission (CVT).
Those anticipating the release of a new WRX STI will find their hopes dashed, as Subaru has confirmed that there will be no STI variant for this WRX generation. However, Prodrive, the UK-based motorsports and engineering firm responsible for constructing Subaru’s victorious World Rally Championship vehicles, has developed a modified WRX that could serve as a fitting successor to the WRX STI. This custom vehicle is named the WRX by Prodrive, and there is a possibility that it—or at least its performance upgrades—might be available for purchase.

Finally, a WRX that’s “tailored for enthusiasts”. Subaru’s gettin back to its roots, huh.
Wow, can’t wait for the unveil. If Pastrana and Lasek are gonna be there, you know it’s gonna be a big deal!
Daytona International Speedway seems like an epic place for a debut. Only adds to the excitement if you ask me.
Anyone else curious about those Brembo brakes? They look slick in the teaser, but I wanna know more.
What about tech features? They didn’t say anything bout that. Hope it’s not just about the wheels and brakes.
Prodrive, eh? Their stuffs usually top notch. Wonder if they’ll offer those mods as a separate package.
Oct 7 can’t come fast enough. This better be good, Subaru. Travis and Bucky better bring the house down!
No STI? That’s a bummer man, really was hoping they’d bring it back for the new gen.
