Next week, Subaru
will officially unveil its brand new WRX STI, but before that day
arrives, it has decided to reveal the racing version. Meet the WRX STI
headed for the Nürburgring 24hr race.It's the seventh consecutive year Subaru will field a vehicle in
the race, and the company is aiming for a third win in the SP3T class
(it last won in 2012, only narrowly being beaten last year by a pesky
Audi TT).
Of course, because the base car hasn't been officially
revealed yet, we haven't been given any other information on
performance or drivetrain, but,Best UK Used Cars SP3T class allows for turbocharged
engines between 1.6 and 2.0-litres. No prizes for guessing what size
this Scooby will use.
Hideharu Tatsumi will return as team
manager - in addition to developing the car - while Toshihiro Yoshida
and Kouta Sasaki have been named as drivers, alongside two more
unconfirmed names from Europe.Looks good, doesn't it? This
racing pedigree bodes well for the production car, which - as explained -
we'll see at the Detroit Motor Show next week.
