The Subaru WRX is a sport compact car with an all-wheel drive (C-segment in Europe) produced by the Japanese marque Subaru. It is a fork version of the Subaru Impreza that was born in 1992 as a vehicle for the World Rally Championship. Its name stands for “World Rally eXperimental”. Up to 2014, WRX was only a surname for the high performance version of the Impreza. From that year onward, the Subaru WRX became an independent vehicle.
