Impreza GC/GF (1992–2000)

The GC/GF generation marked the debut of the Subaru Impreza in 1992, with the WRX model quickly gaining attention for its rally-inspired design. Equipped with a turbocharged 2.0-liter EJ20 engine producing up to 276 hp in the STI variant, this generation featured a symmetrical all-wheel-drive system and a 5-speed manual transmission. The compact design and lightweight chassis made it an agile performer on the road and the rally stage. With its success in the World Rally Championship (WRC), the GC/GF solidified the Impreza's reputation as a performance icon in Japan and Australia.
