This is a '16 Subaru WRX STi. A "boxer on all fours", the 2016 WRX STi is the latest generation of the WRX STi, featuring a 2.5L EJ257 flat-4 with 268 BHP. The car's main competition was the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X; somewhat ironically both the WRX STi and Lancer Evolution were discontinued in the same year. Versions of WRX STi with the EJ20 2.0L boxer engine were discontinued in 2017 with one final version of which 555 were produced; this was done as one final farewell to the EJ20 engine. Versions with the 2.5L are still available. There have been mullings of a new generation of WRX STi, but nothing has been revealed just yet, although I think it might happen.

Now this casting was introduced in the highly popular Fast Tuners series in the Fast & Furious line (mainly because of one casting, but hey). The designer is unknown, but I think it is Ryu Asada. The casting is intended to resemble the Subaru WRX STi driven by Little Nobody in The Fate of the Furious. This is currently the only known release of this casting.
