Subaru introduced its EJ family of engines way back in 1989, and variants of this mill have continued to be under the hood of Subie's models ever since then. In fact, the 341-horsepower S209 packs a highly tuned version of the EJ25 from the current and previous WRX STI models. Despite its age, the company isn't ready to give up on this long-lived series of powerplants yet.
For now, the S209 is the hottest STI that Americans can get. Rather than 310 hp (231 kW) from the stock model, the new special edition boasts an estimated 341 hp (254 kW). The upgrade comes from parts like a larger turbo, forged engine internals, a revised intake, hand-polished tubular exhaust headers, and a new exhaust.
If there's any downside to the S209, it's the model's limited availability. Only 200 of them are coming to the United States. Subaru isn't discussing pricing yet, but with so few of them on the way, there's little doubt that demand should outstrip the small supply.

I’m not too huge on the front side panel, seems a little too boy racer to me. I always wanted a wrx or sti. The EJ25 is still in play. It’ll probably be a $55k car. The wing looks downgraded tbh
