This 2008 Subaru WRX STI is a true driver’s car, blending rally-bred performance with a well-sorted, reliability-focused build. Finished in Lightning Red, a less-produced and highly sought-after color, this STI stands out from the sea of more common finishes while staying true to Subaru’s aggressive motorsports heritage.
The heart of this STI is its biggest highlight — the engine was recently replaced due to a piston ring issue, giving the next owner peace of mind and a strong mechanical foundation. The drivetrain has been thoughtfully upgraded with quality components and professionally tuned to ensure dependable performance rather than chasing risky numbers.
Power delivery is smooth and responsive thanks to a brand new OEM turbo, upgraded fueling, and supporting bolt-ons. The car was protuned by Ken Black Motorsports, making 295 wheel horsepower, tuned conservatively for long-term reliability and drivability.
