Subaru Impreza WRX (2009)

The Subaru Impreza WRX (2009) reaches 60 mph in 4.94 s (100 km/h in 5.22 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 13.61 s, tripping the lights at 100.3 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.04 s and the eighth mile in 8.71 s, reaching 100 mph in 13.54 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

About the Impreza WRX

The 2009 Subaru Impreza WRX (2009) is an all-wheel-drive turbocharged car of 1,443 kg with 266 bhp, which works out at 184 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 2.04 s, which is where a four-wheel-drive car takes its margin out of a rear-drive one with the same power. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 2,102nd quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 10th quickest of the 119 Subarus here. Its 100.3 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 9 of 10 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Subaru Impreza WRX (2009) 0-60 time?
The Subaru Impreza WRX (2009) reaches 60 mph in 4.94 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 2,102nd quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Subaru Impreza WRX (2009) quarter mile time?
13.61 s at 100.3 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 8.71 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.04 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Subaru Impreza WRX (2009) have?
266 bhp and 1,443 kg, which is 184 bhp per tonne. It is all-wheel-drive, turbocharged, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 235 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Subaru Impreza WRX (2009)?
Closest here on pace: Skoda Superb 2.0 TSI 4x4 Mk III (4.93 s), Pontiac Solstice GXP (4.95 s), Alpina B10 Switchtronic (5.00 s). Each one can be raced against the Subaru Impreza WRX (2009) in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Subaru Impreza WRX (2009) is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 of its 10 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
