context_page_description: The Subaru WRX is an all-wheel drive sport sedan manufactured by Subaru based on the Subaru Impreza created for the World Rally Championship by Subaru in 1992. Subaru claimed the name WRX stands for 'World Rally eXperimental'. Since the 2015 model year, the WRX lineup has been split from the Impreza, with a different body style also being used for WRX models. After this point, there has been an absence of a hatchback/wagon body style.
context_section_description: In 2017, Subaru released the WRX STI S208, limited to 450 units sold only for the Japanese market. The S208 used a 2.0-liter EJ20 engine tuned to 329 hp (245 kW) and 432 N⋅m (319 lbf⋅ft) of torque. It has other upgrades similar to those of the WRX STI S207- a quicker 11:1 ratio steering rack, Bilstein DampMatic II front suspension, Recaro front bucket seats, 19-inch BBS wheels, drilled rotors clamped by Brembo monoblock six-piston front calipers and four-pot rear calipers, intercooler water spray, a torque vectoring system, and more. Up to 350 units could be equipped with the NBR Challenge Package, which features a carbon fibre wing, front lip spoiler, and roof.  The S208 was offered in 3 colors- WR Blue Pearl, Crystal White Pearl, and Cool Grey Khaki (only available with the NBR Challenge Package). Standard models costed ¥6,264,000 with tax and NBR Challenge Package-equipped models costed ¥6,890,400 ($63,229) with the carbon fibre lip spoiler or ¥7,106,400 with the carbon fibre rear wing.
