Subaru WRX STI Sport Manual Prototype Surfaces at Tokyo Auto Salon 2026
STI dusted off the manual transmission for a one-off WRX STI Sport concept at TAS 2026, pairing a 6-speed box with what's likely the FA24 turbo. It's a statement piece in an era where even Subaru's performance division has mostly surrendered to automatics. Don't expect production—this is a museum piece with a message.
Subaru building a manual WRX in 2026 feels less like a product and more like an obituary for what buyers actually wanted.
