About the Impreza WRX STi 2.0 Turbo 265

The 2003 Subaru Impreza WRX STi 2.0 Turbo 265 (2003) is an all-wheel-drive turbocharged car of 1,425 kg with 261 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 1.93 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 2,126th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 13th quickest of the 119 Subarus here. Its 101.0 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 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Subaru Impreza WRX STi 2.0 Turbo 265 (2003) 0-60 time?
The Subaru Impreza WRX STi 2.0 Turbo 265 (2003) reaches 60 mph in 4.97 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 2,126th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Subaru Impreza WRX STi 2.0 Turbo 265 (2003) quarter mile time?
13.47 s at 101.0 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 8.62 s and clears the first 60 ft in 1.93 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Subaru Impreza WRX STi 2.0 Turbo 265 (2003) have?
261 bhp and 1,425 kg, which is 184 bhp per tonne. It is all-wheel-drive, turbocharged, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 244 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Subaru Impreza WRX STi 2.0 Turbo 265 (2003)?
Closest here on pace: Skoda Superb 2.0 TSI 4x4 Mk III (4.93 s), Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VIII MR US version (4.84 s), Pontiac Solstice GXP (4.95 s). Each one can be raced against the Subaru Impreza WRX STi 2.0 Turbo 265 (2003) 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 STi 2.0 Turbo 265 (2003) is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 2 of its 2 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.
