Destul de veche stirea. Am citit-o saptamana trecuta si azi am dat din nou peste ea.

"This serious-looking Subaru is gunning for the TT record
Mark Higgins is aiming to smash his Isle of Man record, with help from Prodrive

Two years ago, rally driver Mark Higgins broke the four-wheel record around the Isle of Man TT course, achieving an astonishing time of 19 minutes 26 seconds, and an average speed of 116.4mph. Yep, average, not top speed.

For most people that would be enough, but just a couple of days after that he only went and broke the record again by shaving another eleven seconds off his previous best. And both of those records followed a similar effort in 2011, one which saw this incredible near-miss happen.

Quite clearly Higgins is blessed with – as they are referred to in some parts of the world – cojones grande.

Which is just as well because this year Higgins is hoping to go even faster, and this WRX STI is the machine that will be tasked with going quicker than every car that’s ever been round the fabled circuit.

No information about the car has been released as yet, although given that it’s a joint effort between Subaru and racing experts Prodrive, it’s certainly one to watch. The pair have rallying history, of course, while this car looks considerably more serious than Subaru’s previous Isle of Man contenders.

The countdown to its attempt in June begins now."

Tare! Nu stiam ca se baga si cu noul STI.

Si mai tare este ca masina este modificata de Prodrive. Stiam ca intrerupsesera orice colaborare...

Si o chestie tare, la prima cursa acum 2-3 ani s au dat cu un sti stock mai putin suspensiile.

Ca in reclama la anvelope: power is nothing without control.
Iar suspensia si anvelopele fac diferenta.

Da, ce sa mai zici? Bravo lor! Poate continua colaborarea cu Prodrive si se reintorc si in WRC...

asta cu wrc sunt foarte curios cum si in ce fel o sa fie intoarcerea...

Intoarcere cu un model nou
Poate si BRZ?

N o sa fie nimic, nu se intorc in wrc.

Tom, Andea, Muttley etc aveti cuvantul...  
Ce se stie, e un 2.0 din wrc, cutie 6 trepte wrc (schimba in 8 milisecunde) si ~600cp

ala e articolul 

Nu ma baga in aceeasi oala cu andea si STI. Dar ca tot ai adus vorba, filtrul de aer pus in locul TMIC mi se pare lovitura de geniu. La vitezele alea, efectul RAM cu configuratia aia e maxim. La o motocicleta de viteza de exemplu, gurile de admisie din carena fata dau un spor de 15CP la o viteza de 300km/h. Aici cred ca e mai mult, ca e priza mai mare.

lasa lasa, ca un pic te pricepi si tu acolo
