Subaru Japan\u00a0had announced that production of the outgoing WRX STI<\/a> had ended and with it the end of the legendary\u00a0EJ20 boxer\u00a0engine. The EJ20, which replaced the EA engine, started off in the first generation of the Legacy in 1989. Over time, it was offered with other Subaru models and also powered racing cars competing in events like the World Rally Championship<\/a> and Nurburgring<\/a> 24 Hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new performance flagships are largely expected to have the FA-series motors under the hood (with the 2.4-liter FA24 to power US-market WRX STIs\u00a0and BRZs<\/a>), meaning the EJ25 will end production as well. To commemorate, Subaru is releasing a limited run of EJ20<\/a> Final Edition WRX STI Imprezas for the Japanese market.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
