Subaru WRX STi "Takumi" Concept - Spec C

dont know if its a repost but thought i'd post anyway


Saw this on GT Channel the other day, Subaru unveiled a new WRX STI concept at the Motorsport Japan 2008 event in Tokyo called the "Takumi" Concept. Odd that they would reference an Initial D character, but whatever. This one features a different exterior; weight reduction and different suspension setup. Some are speculating that this may be a sneak peek at an upcoming spec-C model of the STi.

The STI's in person don't look bad, just make the tails red and you're set.

The front is too generic, can be mistaken for a Mazda. The back looks good.

Its a good looking car,, like an wrx wagon and the sti in a blend.

Evo Daves in the rear for sure.

I also love the rubble of the flat4.

Too bad it dosnt come with some kind of a dsg box.

Im tired of rowing.

I thought it might be named for Japan's greatest grand prix driver, but then I realized that his name is Takuma Sato...Too bad.

Too much F1 rejects sorry.
