Subaru WRX STI sedan

The Subaru WRX STI sedan reaches 60 mph in 4.90 s and covers a standing quarter mile in 13.49 s, tripping the lights at 102.1 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.04 s and the eighth mile in 8.64 s, reaching 100 mph in 12.85 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 WRX STI sedan

The 2010 Subaru WRX STI sedan is an all-wheel-drive turbocharged saloon of 1,590 kg with 296 bhp, which works out at 186 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 2,929 cars in the set it is the 1,330th quickest to 60 mph, and the 5th quickest of the 29 Subarus here. It leaves better than it pulls: 102.1 mph at the lights is only the 1,540th highest here, so its 0-60 flatters what it does further out. The simulation is trimmed to 9 of 10 published acceleration figures for this car.

What cars are comparable to the Subaru WRX STI sedan?
Closest here on pace: Genesis G90 RS4 415 PS (4.98 s), Volvo S60 T8 Polestar Engineered (4.81 s), Volvo V60 Polestar Mk I facelift (4.77 s). Each one can be raced against the Subaru WRX STI sedan in the panel at the top of this page.
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 WRX STI sedan 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.
