MY06 Forester
The MY06 Subaru Forester STI is the new face lifted version of this superb model. The Subaru Forester STI is based on the rally honed Impreza chassis and drivetrain but has all the practicality and subtlety of a family SUV. The Subaru Forester STI and its unique versatility has been fantastically well received in both the press media and now on TV.
Featuring Subaru's superb 2.5 STI engine which with our remapped ECU produces a staggering 300bhp and gives the Subaru Forester outrageous pace. The Subaru Forester STI engine also benefits from an advanced Active Valve Control System (AVCS) which improves the engines efficiency and response throughout the rev range. The 6-speed gearbox is also taken from the Impreza STI but features a 14% higher gear ratio which really utilise the engines massive 300lbft of torque allowing for relaxed Motorway cruising.
Stopping all this power has not been forgotten with the standard 18” Wheels and performance Bridgestone tyres concealing massive Brembo brakes. The MY06 Subaru Forester STI also has a completely re-engineered chassis setup which features up-rated suspension and roll bars. These offer superb body control whilst maintaining a supple and compliant ride.
