In the late 1980s, Subaru created the Subaru Tecnica International (STI) division to coordinate development for the FIA World Rally Championship and other motorsports activities. After the company had grown, the division was used to create high-performance consumer versions of the Subaru Impreza WRX, an all-wheel drive car with a turbocharged boxer engine, leading to the development of the Impreza WRX STi. The Subaru World Rally Team has used a race-prepared version of the WRX STI as its rally platform since the model trim's creation.

The Impreza WRX STi was originally sold only in Japan. It was later made officially available in Oceania (Australia had it in 1999 with the STi Version V). In 2001, Europe received the STi with the change of the chassis. Subaru began selling the STI in North America in the spring-summer of 2003 as a 2004 model.

Oceania and Europe had WRX STis in the region before the official versions via grey-market importing.[citation needed]

Five (5) WRX STI S204 were made available to Subaru enthusiasts in New Zealand. However, unlike other S204s sent to other nations these five did not display either the in-cabin or in-enginebay badging that uniquely identifies each of the reported 600 vehicles manufactured. The lack of individual badging for these five cars brings into question the real number of S204s manufactured.

There were six versions of the STi. The different versions were marketed with consecutive numbers. Another way to tell the version of a WRX STi was to look at the chassis code. Sedan and Coupé STi Model Codes were GC8, (Unlike USDM coupés having a separate chassis code of "GM") and Station Wagons were GF8, followed by a letter from A to G. There was a GC chassis version of the RS released in 2001 as well in the United States.

One common misconception is that every Impreza between 92-01 were "GC8's". The code breakdown is as follows; G - stands for Impreza, C - sedan, and coupé for Japanese Domestic Market, M - coupé, for US Domestic Market, F - station wagon, 8 - stands for the 2.0 L motor (Either turbo or N/A) So really, there are many combinations. A coupé STi would be GC8, sedan GC8 also, and wagon GF8. The code for the coupé American 2.5RS's was GM6 (6 standing for the 2.5 L N/A motor). There are also non turbo GC8's from the Japanese Domestic Market, as with the 2L N/A HX20s, or 2L N/A AVCS SRX
