I'm not 100% sure on this, but I think it still has a steering rack, but the power assistance is electronic instead of hydraulic. Many car companies are adding this for autonomous driving features (lane keep assist, different levels of auto-pilot, etc.)

My WRX has EPS and that system doesn't provide the best feedback. It's not unnatural, but I could not feel the suspension load through the corners on the track like I can with the Z34 hydraulic system. It's not impossible to make a good EPS system though. Porsche seems to have mastered it if you believe the reviews.
