'WR' I think stands for World Rally, 'X' I don't know...

RX I think I read somewhere stood for 'Rotary eXperiment'...but I don't have any feasible sources for this....

Yeah, RX = Rotary eXperimental, unless it's a very popular falsehood.

The X in WRX = suX :D :p

Actually most seem to think experimental, and I've seen it documented that it's experimental, though some people still stand by x = cross. RX, not a clue...
