What is STi?
STi is the motosport arm of Subaru, similar to RalliArt for Misubishi and TRD for Toyota. STi specialises in the preparation of a variety of vehicles for rallies such as the World Rally Championship. In recent years, the WRC has been predominantly won by the heavily modified STi 555 Impreza, beating many of its rivals such as the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution.
