Perhaps the most important characteristic for a sports car is how well it performs. After all, car buyers who opt for this type of model are likely looking for the exhilaration of the racetrack. That is why the new 2018 Subaru WRX is engineered with performance-tuned components. Below are three features that reinforce this vehicle's sporty attitude.

Making sharp turns around a corner requires optimum traction, which is why the new 2018 Subaru WRX is equipped with Vehicle Dynamics Control with Active Torque Vectoring. This technology reduces understeer so that drivers can move swiftly around every bend in the road, effortlessly.

An agile ride is best enjoyed when the movements are nice and smooth. Thankfully, this Subaru sports car is fitted with track-tuned suspension. Specifically, its double-wishbone rear suspension compensates for rough movements by distributing energy evenly. In doing so, it increases handling.

Central to the 2018 Subaru WRX mechanics is the SUBARU BOXER® turbocharged engine. Its horizontal layout lowers center of gravity and its improved piston motion limits vibration. Not to mention, it has an output of 268 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, which will give you immediate response going from zero to 60 MPH.

These features are just three parts to a greater whole that makes this new Subaru model a worthy contender in the performance vehicle market. Of course, you do not have to take our word for it. Rather, we prefer you stop by Jenkins Subaru in Bridgeport, West Virginia, so you can try one out personally.
