With the September new registration rush just around the corner,
Subaru UK has announced a mouth-watering price offer on its
high-performance WRX STI model of just £26,995. At this price, the WRX
STI becomes one of the performance car bargains currently available in
the UK.
An additional finance offer means the STI can be financed at under £300 a month.
At the same time, Subaru UK has created a further engine upgrade for
the STI so that customers can create a new high-performance All-Wheel
Drive flagship, the WRX STI 340R.
The new 340R power upgrade, which adds £1,599 to the price, is
available alongside the 320R (with 320 ps and 450 Nm) which was first
launched to market last year. Both the 340R and 320R power upgrades can
be applied retroactively without affecting a car’s warranty.
Available immediately, the WRX STI 340R boasts 340 ps and 490 Nm of
torque – substantial increases of 40 ps and 83 Nm over the standard WRX
STI – making the 340R one of the fastest point-to-point cars on the
road.
The 340R power upgrade features different ECU settings to allow the
2.5-litre horizontally-opposed, four-cylinder Boxer engine to produce
more power, while airflow has improved as a result of a new exhaust
system, which also provides drivers with a thrilling soundtrack and the
iconic Subaru burble.
The 340R will accelerate from standstill to 60mph in just 4.7
seconds, an improvement of 0.5 seconds over the standard WRX STI. There
is also even stronger in-gear acceleration as a result of the improved
torque.
As with other WRX STI models, the 340R benefits from Subaru’s
advanced All-Wheel Drive technology, Torsen rear differential,
fully-independent front and rear suspension and four-door saloon
practicality.
“The 340R power upgrade turns our most performance-oriented model
into one of the most rapid and charismatic cars available in the UK,”
said Darren James, Managing Director of Subaru UK. “The WRX STI was
already an exciting car, but improved power and torque, as well as the
unmistakeable Subaru exhaust note, make the car even more tempting. In
making such a generous price offer, we’ve turned the WRX into one of the
best value and most accessible performance cars available in the UK.”
Subaru UK recently announced a new range of ultra-competitive finance
offers, allowing buyers of base model Subarus (excepting the BRZ and
WRX STI derivatives) two year’s interest free credit. For
higher-specification models, interest-free credit is available over one
year, while low-rate finance – just 3.9 per cent APR – is now available
for Personal Contract Purchase buyers without a deposit.
