Tamiya 1/24 Subaru Impreza Sti #24231  [24231]

Concerning the Subaru Impreza Sti

There isn't any better option to test the toughness of a car than by entering it in the World Rally Championships (WRC). Rally vehicles are engineered to competition over paved, dust and snow/ice covered roads at breakneck speeds plus in a variety of climate. Success in these races practically guarantees sparking customer interest in purchasing the production automobile. Subaru understood this when they first entered the WRC in 1990. Their very first contender, the Legacy ended up being succeeded by the scaled-down Impreza, which was imbued with 2 yrs of tested technology. This recreations sedan produced intense popularity among customers wanting a street automobile using the guts of a WRC contender. In August 2000, a second generation for the Impreza was created. One of the specially tuned versions with this vehicle was the Impreza WRX STi (Subaru Tecnica International). Its 2-litre 4-cylinder turbo motor adopts a reinforced cylinder block, molybdenum coated steel pistons, high capacity turbo and intercooler. The effectiveness of the STi variation had been boosted to 280hp with a 38kgm optimum torque. This energy is efficiently transmitted toward four wheels via a 6-speed manual transmission, additionally developed by STi. The suspension adopts rally-proven 4-wheel struts, ensuring a smooth trip over a myriad of road conditions. Blister design over-fenders on the effective four-door body and an enlarged air consumption on hood supply the Impreza WRX STi, as the title shows, a impressive appearance.
