Subaru Impreza WRX

The Subaru Impreza WRX reaches 60 mph in 6.08 s (100 km/h in 6.43 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 14.77 s, tripping the lights at 93.4 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.31 s and the eighth mile in 9.50 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.

Pick who it runs against, then watch it happen — and change the surface, the weather or the distance and run it again.

About the Impreza WRX

The 2008 Subaru Impreza WRX is an all-wheel-drive naturally aspirated estate of 1,427 kg with 224 bhp, which works out at 157 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 2.31 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 3,348th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 34th quickest of the 119 Subarus here. Its 93.4 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 9 published acceleration figures for this car.

Picked for a fair race, not just a matching 0-60: pace, power-to-weight and body shape all count, and at most one is from the same maker.

Questions

What is the Subaru Impreza WRX 0-60 time?
The Subaru Impreza WRX reaches 60 mph in 6.08 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 3,348th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Subaru Impreza WRX quarter mile time?
14.77 s at 93.4 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 9.50 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.31 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Subaru Impreza WRX have?
224 bhp and 1,427 kg, which is 157 bhp per tonne. It is all-wheel-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 209 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Subaru Impreza WRX?
Closest here on pace: Audi A4 3.2 Quattro Avant B8 (6.04 s), Chrysler 300C Touring 5.7 V8 Hemi 340 PS (6.10 s), Infiniti FX35 (6.10 s). Each one can be raced against the Subaru Impreza WRX 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 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 of its 9 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
