Even so, the Subaru WRX brings a level of performance to any kind of on-road terrain, making it an absolute pleasure to drive no matter where you are.
Let’s explore the Subaru WRX. We’ll take you through the main features of this powerhouse sports car, when it all began, and just where you can get behind the wheel of a 2020 model to test drive it for yourself.

How many Subaru WRX were made?
The Subaru WRX was first born from the design of the Subaru Impreza. The Impreza was manufactured as a first-class sedan car in 1992 and the WRX was designed for the World Rally Championships in the same year. Initially designed simply for rallying purposes, the company decided in 2015 to offer the WRX to the market as a standalone model.
