■ “Subaru WRX STI NBR Challenge 2014”
Since its first model was born in 1992, the Subaru WRX series has been supported by sports car fans in the world as aunique sedan with both four-door practicality and overwhelming sports performance.
While the “Subaru WRX STI NBR Challenge 2014” employs special parts and is also tuned for endurance race, it
uses the same core parts as the ones employed for the mass-produced WRX STI. By further enhancing mutual
cooperation between FHI and STI, the development of a racing car based on the all-new WRX STI which has justbeen unveiled was achieved. By venturing to participate with a racing car developed from a mass-produced model,
Subaru will demonstrate that AWD (All-Wheel drive) sports performance of the all-new WRX STI is fully provided
even on the Nürburgring circuit known as “ultimate public road”.
Through its motorsport activities, FHI and STI will continue to pursue engineering excellence to assure “Enjoymentand Peace of Mind” to customers worldwide.
