The new design queues adopted by Subaru for their hunky WRX Concept had generated a wave of responses. And like usual, there will be two sides of either love or hate towards the new direction this iconic Subaru machine is heading to. But the aggressive looks the WRX Concept sports now does represents the aggressiveness that one would find in a WRX, and designing it to fit the image is not an easy feat.
Needless to say, Subaru fans have been waiting for a long time for the Japanese car manufacturer to come out with a meaner and angrier machine. The wait might be over soon enough as Subaru has finally shed some light on what it seems to be their next star in the performance category. Debuting at the New York International Auto Show is the all-new WRX Concept Car.
The Subaru BRZ is already a fun car to be driven around the track, but the guys at Subaru reckon that they could put in a number of tweaks to make it a tad better than the stock version. Called the BRZ RA Racing, this straight-from-the-factory BRZ is a racing-spec version of the car. And before you get too excited about it, the RA Racing will be available only in Japan for the time being.
Though there exists a feud between vehicle manufacturers, it’s still not as obvious as one between the House of Capulet and the House of Mantague in Shakespeare’s play of ‘Romeo and Juliet’. In this case, rather than two “star crossed lovers” of Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet falling in love with each other, we have a BMW M135i hatch being pitted against a Subaru WRX STi out on the Blyton Park Circuit – both possessing forced-induction.
Forging a strong partnership with Subaru’s manufacturer Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd, Motor Image has reached a major milestone with the first locally-assembled Subaru XV rolling out from the Segambut plant’s production line. As a subsidiary of Tan Chong International Limited, Motor Image’s bold step did not only strengthen the group’s presence in Malaysia, but also in the Southeast Asian region.
The Mitsubishi Evos that had ravaged through Sepang International Circuit on the last two rounds of TIMETOATTACK were nothing short of menacing and intimidating. With cars like Evonne being just a stone throw’s away from the 2:25 mark earlier on, the car that we might see grabbing the fastest time on TIMETOATTACK could possibly be another one of these monsters.
An astonishing and agonizing 78 hours 30 minutes; that was the total duration that 42-year-old Gan Yu Shen Tholmas had bravely endured at the recent MediaCorp Subaru Challenge 2012 – The Asian Face-Off where every second was totally worth it as he outlasted all the contestants and walks home with the keys to the all-new Subaru XV 1.6.
Ever since the moment that the Subaru BRZ appeared into the motoring world, one could almost be 100-percent sure that sooner or later, a more powerful version of this wonderful sports car will appear into the scene. That wait is closing in to the end as somewhere next year, Subaru is set to release the much hotter BRZ bearing the iconic STI badge.
In one of their biggest launch event ever, PT. TC Subaru, the authorized distributor for Subaru in Indonesia brought in three new units to bask in the spotlight of the 20th Indonesia International Motor Show that took place at the Jakarta International Expo last 20th-30th September. Other than the critically-acclaimed Subaru BRZ and the Impreza 2.0i, Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd. had also brought over a pre-production model of their all-new Subaru XV crossover.
Some might view Sundays as a perfect opportunity to kick in and have some time out, which also includes hanging up the car keys to let the engine rest for a bit. While that might have sounded great for some, the Emperor Touge guys however prefer to do otherwise. Rather than snoozing off the sunny Sunday morning of 30th September, they fired up their rides to again conquer the twisty uphill course of Genting Highlands for the umpteenth time.
