2011 Suburu STi Sedan

![http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2010/06/2011-wrx-sti-ring.jpg](http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2010/06/2011-wrx-sti-ring.jpg)

Granted it is still a prototype and “the vehicle used in this testing was equipped with a few significant upgrades including a larger turbocharger that normally sees duty in the Japanese R205 model and some lightweight aluminum bits”

Should be interesting to see what the new M5 does.

One thing i love about Nurburgring videos is it looks really familiar from playing video games lol. It seems to me this is in a different category than the CTS-V because this has upgrades, I want to hear stock times, and upgraded times.

I think they needs to shut up until it’s a production car.

I wonder what this will weigh and how much HP they expect out of the stock car.

The 09+ CTS-V is a pig at almost 4,250 lbs, even compared to the 04 - 07 it is 400 lbs heavier.

+1 I wouldn’t ever even think about buying the newer hunch back STI. This one I’d consider.
