  | Subaru Impreza WRX STI Carbon From WCF ubaru's Impreza STI is a legend in its own time. Generally a number of versions like the Spec C and the A-Line get put out during its life cycle and the Impreza WRX CARBON will be one of these. It is based on the A-Line model which features a 5-speed automatic gearbox - yes, you read correctly. In keeping with the softening of the STI's traditionally hardcore image the automatic transmission was introduced so more customers could appreciate the car's performance. The main difference with the CARBON model is that a carbon fibre roof has been fitted in order to achieve weight reduction, lower the centre of gravity and consequently offer better performance. Additionally suede fabric has been used in the interior to give that extra lushness and comfort. Two engines are currently found in the STI hatch, depending on the market. The most common one is the 2.0-litre turbo that makes 227kW (308hp) and 422Nm of torque. A number of other places get a 2.5-litre turbo making around 221kW (300hp) and maximum torque of 407Nm. The Impreza WRX CARBON will be unveiled publicly at the 2009 Tokyo Motor Show which starts 21 October for media and 24 October for the public.     Consider this a Martin special

| Oh yeah, that's what I'm talking about. Of course, I'd make those rims gunmetal though, then it will truly be badass. Martin will like this.

| I like everything about it except the automatic gearbox. Madness that it doesn't come out with that magnificent 6-speed STI-developed manual! Dig the Alcantara dashtop trim tho'  Quite special - for an Impreza!

| So, it seems that even this enthusiast concept is to be ruined by those that only want the image, not the real product. Bloody posers...
