The Subaru Impreza WRX STI is a high-performance model of the Subaru Impreza compact car line, manufactured by Japanese automaker Fuji Heavy Industries Subaru. This model was introduced following the creation of Subaru Tecnica International (STi) in 1988, which was established as the motorsport division of Fuji Heavy Industries to compete in events like the FIA World Rally Championship.
In November 1992, the first generation Impreza was unveiled, and following close behind was the Group A rally car's debut in the World Rally Championship in the subsequent year. This led to the commercial availability of an 'STi version' of the Impreza in January 1994. This car was classified as a homologation model, conforming to FIA regulations.
