Subaru press release via IWOC
MORE POWER AND STANDARD SAT NAV FOR ICONIC STI

* Engine upgrade to 320 PS
* Improved torque and driveability
* 0 to 60mph in under 5 seconds
* Sat nav fitted as standard

Spring is in the air for Subaru customers with the company’s latest generous offer on the iconic high-performance STI. A by-word for exceptional real world driving performance, the characterful STI is now available with upgraded engine power and a satellite navigation system as standard and with no increase to the OTR price of £32,995 − but for a limited period only.

The already widely praised, revised 2.5 litre Subaru Boxer 16-valve turbo engine produces an already impressive 300 PS at 6000 rpm and 407 Nm at 4000 rpm in standard trim. Customers who purchase an STI between now and the end of June will get an engine upgrade which will result in an extra 20 PS and even more mid-range torque, leading to final performance figures of 450 Nm at 3400 rpm.

The power pack has been developed in-house at Subaru UK and is covered by a Subaru UK warranty. A sub five second sprint to 62 mph puts the STI firmly in the supercar category, despatched in just 4.9 seconds.

In addition to the significant engine enhancements, STI’s purchased in the qualifying period will also get a Pioneer sat nav fitted as standard. The system features touch-screen capability, Bluetooth and iPod connection. The screen is also detachable and can be connected to a laptop via a USB port for easy downloading of additional information.

All STI’s come as standard with symmetrical AWD, keyless entry and push button start, hill start assist, climate control, SI-Drive, leather Recaro seats, 18 inch alloy wheels, remote locking, satellite tracker and cruise control.

The STI offer runs from April 1 until June 31 and applies to both 4 and 5 door variants.

Would love to know what the power upgrade consists of.

New map ?

Cosworth performance pack ?

Crispy coated chocolate pistons ?

Dunno mate,

20bhp not 30bhp increase, Subaru designed not Prodrive ( or Cosworth ) etc. so probably a "safer" 330S map and exhaust?


Also not the 330S extras now seem to be std on STi's - Recaro seats, keyless entry/push button start, sat nav ( albeit Pioneer not the Kenwood?) etc.

I would imagine it has something to do with Mike Wood and the Pro-R company that will be launched shortly!!!

Just a thought, but seems a logical one lol

You thought right mate

Cosworth are heavily involved with this, they may say otherwise but the 320r kit is coming from them

Do you know what that 320R kit consists of?

More power, Intake & exhaust

I know for one thing the 320r does pick its feet up rather bloody well I must say, the mapping feels spot on in my eyes

So the 320r is just a remap, and the hardware for more power comes later .. is that as a "PPP" type upgraxde, more cost?

Does it seem that they are saying they can do higher power figures safely now, maybe to do with the map?? Or new internals in the 2011 cars???
