Fuji Heavy Industries (FHI) has teased the Subaru WRX S4, the Japanese-market version of the Subaru WRX that is already on sale in other countries, ahead of its unveiling on August 25.
The S4 in the name, says Subaru, comes from “Sports performance”, “Safety performance”, “Smart driving” and “Sophisticated feel”. To that end, the S4 will come with the third generation of the EyeSight camera-based driver assistance system for “unique overall safety performance”, and the car has been developed to provide “superior environmental friendliness” and a “high-quality feel”.
No other details have been released so far, but it is rumoured that the Japanese will be compensated for the car’s late arrival on home soil with a few more horses from the 2.0 litre direct-injected turbo flat-four. Power is expected to rise by 32 PS to a round 300 PS and torque by 50 Nm to 400 Nm, which if you recall are the same figures as on the Japan-only Levorg estate.
Like the Levorg, the S4 will reportedly be available solely with a CVT, presumably to leave some space for the also upcoming manual-only WRX STI, which as before is expected to be powered by a 2.0 litre MPI turbo mill for the Japanese market, rather than the 2.5 litre unit found elsewhere.

This sounds more promising than the legendary GSC. At least you know the launching date.
Gotta love that engine. 300HP & 400NM of torque from 2.0 litres. Basically its the BRZ engine, but with turbos and loads of power. The WRX is confirmed for Malaysia already. If only the Levorg will come here. Still hoping it does.
Theres only 1 S4, and thats an Audi..even the font looks similar
there is at least another 2 S4 beside Audi S4…samsung galaxy s4 n samsung galaxy s4 mini..
Theres also another S4, the 1985 Lancia Delta S4, the Abarth Group B Turbo-Supercharged 1.8l Monster producing 600bhp+, manual, 4WD, fiber glass- Carbon Fiber body(890kg), all of this for zipping through tight European streets and loose gravel, 0-100kph in 1.9sec….. road going version called the Delta S4 stradale (with, thank god, 250hp ‘only’)
.
It was the car that overwhelm driver Henri Toivonen and killed him, thus putting an end to the glorious group B rallying
Amazed at what you do with your free time. Kudos.
Nothing more than surfing the web and reading books. I do alot of research since I like to draw most of the time, but lately I tend to take off my free time and take photographs(albeit shitty ones) of cars and post it up on my own page.
Personally its curiosity that drives it, I like machines alot, and cars in particular, so I tend to read alot on the subject.
awd…and an s4….ummmmm..
Can’t stop drooling.
