Design & Looks
Each model leans hard into visual drama.

Even the classic Subaru WRX STI receives a refreshed front fascia that nods to its rally heritage.

Performance & Mileage
Power figures are sky‑high, but fuel economy stays realistic for a performance car. Expect 0‑60 times under 4 seconds in the GT‑R, 5.3 seconds in the Cayman GT4, and 5.7 seconds for the WRX STI. Real‑world mileage hovers around 18‑22 mpg, which is typical for this segment.

All three are priced well above their market averages, making them tough competition for buyers with deep pockets. The Mustang GT‑R starts around $80,000, the Cayman GT4 at $100,000, and the WRX STI tops out near $45,000. Their main rivals include the BMW M2, Lotus Emira, and Honda Civic Type R, each offering a different blend of price and performance.
