Power alone doesn't win
The WRX was born to win in the WRC, taking three consecutive manufacturers' titles and later class wins at the Nürburgring 24 Hours. Takatsu, the development lead, says that experience taught him that "power is necessary to win, but power alone doesn't win." Deciding that what mattered most was being able to use all of that power and control the car at will, and building the driver's confidence in the car, he set the development concept of the new model as "Pure Power in Your Control." The goal was the feeling of the car becoming an extension of your own hands and feet.
