Subaru WRX STI GDB-C (Blobeye)

In 2004, the Subaru Impreza WRX STI underwent a transformation to what enthusiasts affectionately term the "Blobeye" model. This iteration featured revised, blob-shaped headlights that softened the aggressive stare of the earlier "Bugeye," while still maintaining the STI's formidable road presence. The Blobeye STI was more than just a facelift—it was a refinement of its rally-bred lineage, with a turbocharged 2.5-liter boxer engine in the U.S. market that provided a hefty increase in power and torque. Enhanced aerodynamics, a stronger chassis, and an improved all-wheel-drive system ensured that the performance was as sharp as ever, solidifying the STI's reputation for exceptional handling and driver engagement. With its distinctive hood scoop and large rear wing, the Blobeye STI continued to embody the spirit of a street-legal racer, captivating car enthusiasts with its blend of practicality and high-performance thrills.
