2015 Subaru WRX: The Subaru WRX has been an enthusiast staple. Expectations couldn't
be higher for the newest model, and Subaru gave us a taste of things to
come earlier this year with the WRX concept. Now, the 2015 Subaru WRX
has been fully revealed at the 2013 Los Angeles auto show, and things
look promising for the successor to the famed rally special. Auto Show
Floor Update: Yeah, yeah, the new 2015 WRX may have an optional CVT, but
with a minor power bump, new six-speed manual, and handling lessons
learned from the BRZ, the new WRX promises to be better than ever.
Subaru
borrowed the turbocharged, direct-injected 2.0-liter boxer
four-cylinder from the Forester XT, and employs a high 10.6:1
compression ratio, twin-scroll turbocharger, and the Subaru Dual Active
Valve Control System. The engine gets different camshafts and
higher-rate valve springs, among other upgrades unique to the WRX, to
bring output to 268 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque, which peaks between 2000
and 5200 rpm. That represents an increase of 3 hp and 14 lb-ft of
torque over the previous-gen model's turbo 2.5-liter. Source
