25 Nov 2011|10,176 views
Subaru calls the Impreza STI S206 the "crown of STI tuned cars", and the nomenclature follows on from the previous versions of the STI S series, like the S203, S204 and S205. The Impreza STI S206 will be limited to just 300 units, all of which will be sold in Japan.The STI S206 features exclusive Bilstein dampers, STI coil springs, a flexible front tower bar and draw stiffener, which promise to further improve the car’s precise and quick cornering response. Subaru have also fitted a new set of 19-inch BBS aluminum wheels to the car, which have been designed exclusively for the S206, and the wheels are shod in Michelin Pilot Super Sport tyres.
Under the bonnet, STI’s engineers have further honed the flat-four turbocharged engine by optimizing the weight balance between pistons, connecting rods and crankshaft in order to enhance the rev feel. The 2.0-litre unit also gets a retuned ECU, an enhanced twin-scroll turbocharger and a reduced-back pressure exhaust system, all of which help increase output to 320bhp and 431Nm of torque. Subaru also claims that the S206 has quicker throttle response and delivers more torque in low- and mid-range revs, offering better drivability.
A lower front spoiler and new grille, different side sills and a rear spoiler designed exclusively for the S206 help improve its aerodynamics as well as distinguish it from the regular STIs, while the exclusive leather steering wheel, Recaro bucket seats with red seatbelts and the STI designed push engine start switch round out the changes.
Subaru also developed a special NBR Challenge Package for the S206, commemorating the Japanese firm's class win at the Nürburgring 24 Hours endurance race. It features a carbon-fibre roof and rear spoiler, plus Nürburgring Challenge sticker and red door sills, and will be limited to 100 units.
