When Subaru presented the world with the WRX Concept in New York last year the world responded with admiration and desire. When Subaru presented the world with the production WRX in LA last year the world responded with a giant facepalm. But, word on the street says the good WRX, the concept, may replace the […]
Juha Kankkunen is rallying royalty. His four world championships (1986, 1987, 1991, 1993) and 23 rally wins (a record at the time) have earned him that honour. Here’s a fan made tribute video showcasing some of Kankkunen’s best work. You’ll enjoy the sights and sounds we’re sure and when you make it to the end […]
Here’s a pretty simple video clip from French publication Motorsport Magazine comparing the Audi S3 and the Subaru WRX STi. It’s an acceleration run from 0–250km/h and it would seem that S tronic gives the S3 the edge. Although, they’re pretty slick gearchanges in the STi. S3 Sportback: 221kW/380Nm, 6-speed S tronic, quattro all-wheel drive, […]
Subaru Australia announced the pricing and spec deatils for the all new WRX STI during the week. There’s good and bad news, too. The good news is they have slashed the pricing compared with the previous model. The bad news is, if you already own the old model, your resale has just been smashed! The […]

Just a a couple of days from this weekend’s 2014 Bathurst 12 Hour race now is a good time to cast an eye over the official entry list. And what an entry list it is too! There’s six classes in all, with the overall race winner expected to come from the 14-strong field of Class […]
Here’s some leaked images of the all-new Subaru Liberty/Legacy, which is due for its official reveal in Chicago next week. Subaru hasn’t delivered a decent looking Liberty since the fourth-gen. What’s going on? We think the bloke who designed it must be called Jeff and it’s all his fault. Wake up, Jeff, everybody’s struggling Wake […]
In case you’ve missed it there’s a big game of football on tonight. And we don’t mean the Man City v Chelsea game either. It’s American football and, of course, it’s the Super Bowl. That means all the big wig advertising agencies have been locked away in rooms for months trying to come up with […]
Following last week’s early preview here’s the official info on the all-new Subaru WRX STi. We now know it will be powered by a 2.5 litre boxer engine with peak power of 227kW at 6000rpm, while the maximum torque of 392Nm is achieved at 4000rpm. There’s no performance figures given as yet—not even 0–100km/h times—but […]
Subaru has released this photo of the new WRX STi, in this case ready to take on the Nürburgring 24 hour race for the seventh year in a row. Except it’s not a photo at all, just a crudely cobbled together p-chop. I can tell by the pixels. Oh well, we’ll have the real thing […]
