Subaru Impreza WRX - the devil blue
Do not look at that car was simply not possible, it's been a legend. Subaru Impreza WRX participated in the paths of the world championship rally, besides this machine tyuningery admired all over the world.
Many car enthusiasts and connoisseurs of interesting models of machines interested in the question, how do get out of passenger cars Golf class of this "monster". Another question that arises, depending on the Subaru Impreza WRX, as it does with the place of any Brabus with two-liter turbo engine that only superbike withstand such acceleration.
Before the curtain to discover the issues specify that the Subaru. More precisely, what difference it from other brands. First, this model all-wheel drive, in the second Subaru Impreza WRX has the separable engines, whose cylinders are arranged horizontally and have a low center of gravity. In addition, there are some small differences, for example, lack of framework for the door glass.
Then wonder what the Impreza? And this is nothing but a model of a golf class, which is available for many generations. Hatchback company Subaru has not released, only characteristic sedans.
And what is the WRX? This top-version of the model Subaru Impreza WRX. The prototype of which is the legendary 205-horsepower Turbo. The new version equipped with 225-horsepower turbocharged engine, as well as proprietary all-wheel drive transmission Symmetric 4. A distinctive feature of a prototype of a high-performance braking system, in which the ventilated brake discs installed not only on the front wheels, but also on the rear. The wheels are large, in contrast to the base Impreza. At Subaru Impreza WRX put R17 tires with 215/45 tires. The car accelerates so fast that it requires just 6 seconds, this is possible, because at the Subaru Impreza WRX is a permanent four-wheel drive with viskomuftoy.
But there is a machine that can push the Subaru Impreza WRX for the second term is the Subaru Impreza WRX STI. Essentially the same car, only it added STI, and this modification is easy to see on a large rear wing, but in no way changes happen. Motors provide STI with two liter volume of 265 hp and a torque of 343 Nm at 4000 rpm.
In general construction is similar to the WRX, but there are some nuances, such as STI limited slip differentials are set to drive the front wheels, STI has a six-speed gearbox, which allows to give momentum to 5.5 seconds. Many riders is impressive, as this machine makes a quick start on dry pavement.
If you go in the history of so-called "mad" machines, we can distinguish two types of the legendary Ford Escort Coswort and Lancia Delta Integrale HF. This family of hatchbacks that have four-wheel drive transmission and supplemented with turbo engines. Already in the 80-s Ford Escort Coswort develops power 220 hp.
It has long been popular to carry out tuning Subaru Impreza, basically it is because of the status and plus because of the search for extra power. The design of Subaru Impreza is made in such a way that it is possible to hold a slight increase in power. Planck 280 hp was installed only by a Japanese law, but in Europe there are no limitations that can throw a power up to 400-500 hp But although the Japanese do not have such powerful machines, but tests carried out up to 600 hp
Translation abbreviations STI - Subaru Technics International, a sports division that prepares the cars for competition. This unit produces the same "civilian" version of the sport. STI does not think about improving the controllability or lowering. Even we can say that the clearance model Impreza STI more common. The essence of the STI version in preparation for the rally, so the big machine clearance, powerful lighting, permanent four-wheel drive and energy-intensive suspension. And as a complement, the possibility of tuning.
What is "omologatory"? These are the cars, whose production is limited, and they are prepared for the rally. Admitted to the competitions only those models whose production is less than a dozen copies. That is why the model presented at the rally, have so many distinctive features. However, doing a lot of "bloat" to "omologatorah" of them exclude some elements of "fighting" machines, such as fire-extinguishing system, sequential gearshift, built-in safety cage and more.
