WRX Stages a Comeback as Subaru Rebounds on Inventory

Subaru’s WRX sales have rebounded after a production shuffle that prioritized the Forester, with August sales rising to 1,778 (vs. 611 a year ago) and year-to-date up about 37.7% to 10,324; the base WRX returned at $32,495 with more equipment, though performance updates remain limited and a limited-slip differential is still not offered. The car continues to use the 271-hp 2.4-liter turbo, and Subaru has teased STI variants in Japan, though concrete upgrades have yet to materialize.

"2024 Subaru WRX TR: The Ultimate Performance Package"

Subaru has introduced a new TR trim for the WRX, addressing previous concerns by bringing more sport-focused features to the manual transmission variant. The TR trim includes re-tuned dampers, stiffer springs, adjusted steering feel, and Recaro seats for improved driving experience. It also comes with Brembo brakes, loses its sunroof for a lower center of gravity, and retains Subaru's EyeSight safety technology. Pricing will be announced later this year, with availability in early 2024.

"WRX-Powered Classic Mini: A Mid-Engine RWD Go-Kart for the Road"

Steve from Australia built an impressive engine-swapped classic Mini by fitting a Subaru WRX engine behind the front seats. With the help of an engineer, he cut the floor out behind the seats and built a custom box frame to support the engine, while keeping the Mini's original body and wheelbase intact. The WRX engine, producing 255 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque, is almost entirely stock, making it a powerful and lightweight combination. Steve's attention to detail is evident in the seamless integration of a sunroof from a wrecked BMW-era Mini. This homemade WRX-powered classic Mini is a standout example of a well-built and unique car.
