A capable and exciting all-wheel-drive performance car, finished in a stylish black colour scheme. Under the bonnet is a turbocharged 2.5-litre flat-four, delivering a dyno-proven 205.9kW / 276bhp to all four wheels through a six-speed manual transmission. This WRX STI has been modified with a few carefully chosen upgrades. The clutch was replaced in March 2020, and a new timing belt was fitted in February 2021. The car has been with its current keeper for the last 10 years, who has kept the car garaged when not in use. This example is finished in Obsidian Black Pearl over a black leather and Ultrasuede cabin with STI-branded Recaro front seats and red stitching. It rides on a set of black 18-inch multi-spoke alloy wheels, shod with Pirelli Dragon Sport tyres. Factory-fitted equipment includes an electric sunroof, air conditioning, a multifunction steering wheel, cruise control, electrically folding wing mirrors, switchable driving modes, and a driver-controlled centre differential. An Apple CarPlay-compatible touchscreen stereo has been fitted, as well as an upgraded exhaust, intake, boost solenoid, and blow-off valve. The car is accompanied by the original owner’s manual, service book, various invoices, dyno graph, original bill of sale, spare wheel, jack, toolkit, and boot liner. All factory OEM parts replaced by modifications are included in the sale (complete TBE, OEM radiator, OEM shift knob, OEM Nav head unit, OEM turbo heat shield, and OEM DV). There is no known bodywork damage. The paintwork is in very good overall condition, with some stone chips on the front end, rear door PPF sections, and side skirts. Inside, the cabin presents well. There is some creasing and wrinkling on the front seats and signs of use on the steering wheel, but no major wear or discolouration. No mechanical or electrical faults have been detected.
