Subaru Impreza WRX Mk II 224 PS

The Subaru Impreza WRX Mk II 224 PS reaches 60 mph in 5.94 s (100 km/h in 6.28 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 14.42 s, tripping the lights at 95.6 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.07 s and the eighth mile in 9.19 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 Mk II 224 PS

The 2002 Subaru Impreza WRX Mk II 224 PS is an all-wheel-drive turbocharged car of 1,490 kg with 221 bhp, which works out at 149 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 2.07 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 3,186th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 33rd quickest of the 119 Subarus here. Its 95.6 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 10 of 10 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Subaru Impreza WRX Mk II 224 PS 0-60 time?
The Subaru Impreza WRX Mk II 224 PS reaches 60 mph in 5.94 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 3,186th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Subaru Impreza WRX Mk II 224 PS quarter mile time?
14.42 s at 95.6 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 9.19 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.07 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Subaru Impreza WRX Mk II 224 PS have?
221 bhp and 1,490 kg, which is 149 bhp per tonne. It is all-wheel-drive, turbocharged, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 242 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Subaru Impreza WRX Mk II 224 PS?
Closest here on pace: Ford Puma ST Mk II (5.94 s), Renault Megane Sport Trophy (5.89 s), Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart (5.77 s). Each one can be raced against the Subaru Impreza WRX Mk II 224 PS 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 Mk II 224 PS is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 10 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.

Figures regenerated 2026-10-12. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
