An official video was recently discovered by the fellows at the Nasioc forums, with raw footage of what may very well be the upcoming 2009 Subaru Impreza WRX sedan and WRX STI hatchback. The video appears to have been shot in April and features both Subaru race drivers Travis Pastrana and Ken Block turning their tires into smoke by four-wheel powersliding around the Willow Springs raceway.

According to a leaked memo from Subaru, the new WRX models are said to have a 265 horsepower version of the turbocharged 2.5-liter boxer engine— 41 horses more than the 2008 Impreza WRX's 224. Addtionally, the 2009 WRX model will only be available with a manual transmission and feature upgraded suspension, gray alloy wheels, an STI front grill, and special red stitching throughout the interior.
