A 1992 Subaru WRX, styled with a distinctive JDM look, recently stole the show at a notable car modification event in Ho Chi Minh City.
Based on the 1992 WRX model, the owner has comprehensively upgraded the car to resemble the STI version – a high-performance variant first introduced in 1994.
The front end of this Subaru WRX features an extended bumper with large air intakes for improved cooling, complemented by side skirts and a refined rear bumper to optimize airflow.
Notably, the car sports a sizable fixed rear wing on the trunk, adding a bold, retro touch – a signature element of the mid-90s WRX STI models.
This classic car also boasts a large, offset single exhaust that enhances performance and delivers a powerful, race-car-like sound.
The wheel setup is a notable upgrade on this Subaru WRX. It features RAYS CE28 rims, paired with performance tires and the STI’s high-performance braking system. These rims are a favorite among JDM enthusiasts for their durability and eye-catching design.
Inside, the 1992 Subaru WRX retains its classic, characterful interior with signature green fabric-upholstered sports seats.
While the engine specifications are unknown, the original 1994 STI Version I was powered by a turbocharged EJ20 boxer engine with a 2.0L capacity, producing approximately 250 horsepower and 309 Nm of torque. This power was transmitted to all four wheels through a 5-speed manual transmission and the renowned AWD system, along with limited-slip differentials (LSD) for optimal traction during high-speed cornering.
This 1992 Subaru WRX STI replica is not just a visually stunning modified car, but also a testament to the passion and appreciation for automotive heritage within the Vietnamese car enthusiast community. In an era dominated by electric vehicles and advanced technology, this classic race-inspired car still captivates automotive enthusiasts and turns heads wherever it goes.
