2011 Subaru Impreza WRX – Click above for high-res image gallery<\/small><\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n

\nSince the introduction of the third-generation Impreza<\/a>, Subaru<\/a> has been making incremental improvements to the rally-bred WRX<\/a>, first with a significant bump in output for the 2009 MY<\/a> and now the adoption of the STI<\/a>‘s widebody design for 2011. And not only does the five-door model benefit from its pumped-up sibling’s sheetmetal, but the sedan gets a much-needed testosterone injection to boot.<\/p>\n

With a 1.5 inch-wider track front and rear, the 2011 Subaru Impreza WRX’s stance is decidedly more aggressive, and with firmer rear subframe bushings pulled from the STI and wider 17×8-inch wheels wrapped in 235\/45R17 rubber, the 2011 ‘Rex is assuredly stickier than its predecessor.<\/p>\n

The cosmetic mods don’t end with the widened fenders, as the front fascia receives a restylized front lip spoiler, partnered with a larger, blacked-out grille and intakes. The whole package only increases the curb weight of the WRX by 34 pounds, and coupled with the “265-horsepower” turbocharged 2.5-liter flat-four, the 2011 WRX has the goods to back up its looks… no matter which body-style you choose. Full details in the press release after the jump and expect a slew of shots from the floor at the New York Auto Show<\/a>.<\/p>\n
