Subaru Impreza WRC
2006 Prototype* (replica model)
The WR car based on
facelift new Impreza. Since 2003 FHI has been strengthening its support of the
Subaru World Rally Team (SWRT), which takes part in the FIA World Rally
Championship (WRC). FHI and SWRT have been closely working to improve on vehicle
performance in rallying, to accumulate know-how with the feedback from rallying
experience, and to apply that know-how and technology to the production of the
Impreza base model.
*FIA homologation scheduled application.
Impreza
The new Impreza
has raised its product appeal by redefining its sporty looks and the drivability
inherent to this model. The Impreza WRX series is fitted with a 2.5 liter
4-cylinder SUBARU BOXER Horizontally Opposed engine and STI version features an
improved version of the driver’s control center differential (DCCD) as an
standard equipment, an electronically controlled All Wheel Drive (AWD) system
that adds a torque-sensitive, mechanical limited-slip differential (LSD).
Balancing high levels of maneuverability and stability, it embodies driving
pleasure.
Forester
In further advancing
the basic concept of “Crossover SUV”, Subaru engineers have made substantial
improvements on the Forester and raised its product appeal. Not only were
driving performance and utilities enhanced, but sophisticated design and quality
looks have been significantly improved.
