Originally introduced in 1992 in Japan, then shortly afterward in New Zealand, Australia and Europe, the WRX features a turbocharged 2.0L (then later a 2.5L) version of Subaru's EJ series flat-4 Boxer engine. Compared to the base Impreza, the WRX also has wider wheels with lower profile tires, larger brakes, and firmer, higher-quality suspension components.
The WRX weighs 3085 lb (1399

There have been seven noted versions of the WRX. The STI versions were marketed with consecutive numbers. Another way to determine the version of a WRX was to look at the chassis code. All WRX sold between 1992 and 2000 have the beginning chassis code of GC8 sedan or GF8 hatchback; this is followed by a letter from A to G.

The WRX debuted in November 1992 with 240 PS (176.5 kW; 236.7 hp) at 6000 rpm with 31 kg·m (300 N·m; 220 lb·ft) at 5000 rpm. Both front and rear brake rotors were ventilated disks. The vehicle had a curb weight of 1,220 kg (2,690 lb). The center differential was a viscous coupling type. The rear LSD was a viscous type. The WRX Type RA (marketing has made usage of the RA acronym in various ways; Record Attempt is the current usage. "R = Racing, A = Group A, the FIA racing class the WRC Impreza competes in" has also been confirmed by Subaru of Japan; the correspondence can be seen on the discussion board for this article) is a stripped down version of the WRX for people to purchase for motorsports. It does not have many "creature comforts" such as air-conditioning or a radio. The car also lacks anti-lock brakes. The WRX Type RA has had a weight reduction to 1,170 kg (2,579 lb), and uses a closer ratio gearbox. The WRX Type RA steering wheel is a 3 spoke leather-wrapped wheel from Nardi.

In October, 1993, Subaru introduced the 1994MY WRX which produced 240 PS (176.5 kW; 236.7 hp) at 6500 rpm with 28.5 kg·m (279 N·m; 206 lb·ft) at 5000 rpm. The wheels remained the same size. The rear rotors were substituted from ventilated disk to solid disk. The vehicle gained 30 kg (66 lb) to a total curb weight of 1,250 kg (2,756 lb). October 1993 was also the start of production of the hatchback version, with 220 PS (162 kW; 217 hp).

It is also debated whether or not it was just the GF8 hatchback received the 220 PS (161.8 kW; 217.0 hp) engine or if the 1994 WRX received it as well. Previously this entry stated the WRX engine was downgraded to 220 PS (161.8 kW; 217.0 bhp).

built May 1993 until Sep 1994 (GF8-B only) came as auto and manual. with or without air-conditioning on both models. The engine and ECU was the same as the normal wrx hatchback (manual or auto models) had colour coded mirrors but black door handles came in colours deep blue (331), deep green (307), flamy red (936), light silver (406), black mica (47a), feather white (230)

In November 1994, the WRX had a power increase to 260 PS (191.2 kW; 256.4 hp) at 6500 rpm with 31.5 kg·m (309 N·m; 228 lb·ft) at 5000 rpm. The wheel diameters were increased to 16 inches (410 mm) and brake rotors were both changed to ventilated disks. With these modifications, the curb weight decreased to 1,230 kg (2,712 lb). In Japan, the WRX was also offered in the Sport hatchback and was called the Impreza Gravel Express but was discontinued due to very limited sales, and replaced by the Subaru Forester.
