The Subaru Impreza Model Year 2009 will benefit from a series of important updates that won’t be limited just to the look of the car. According to a document that has escaped from under company lock and key, in addition to the improvements in performance on the current series, we could also see a new version, called Impreza GT that will be equipped with the 2.5 turbo from the WRX STI in a real power step from the 225 hp.

This version will be equipped with automatic transmission, different from the WRX MY 2009, although the latter will see a jumpo in power, gaining 40 hp and therefore reaching a total of 265hp all up.

The renews WRX will see some improvements in the suspension, a look inspired by the WRX STI, a new aerodynamic kit and dedicated wheels. The intention behind these two sports versions is to provide some competition for the Lancer Ralliart Sportback, which will be presented at the the Paris show.
