Subaru has released a new video which shows the WRX
STI Type RA NBR Special in action. While the car isn't a production model, the
company will use it to attempt to set a new lap record for a four-door sedan at
the Nürburgring later this summer. Subaru has already begun testing the car on
the Nordschleife but the weather was less than cooperative during a run on May
19th.
Besides releasing the video, Subaru teased a new
photo of the WRX STI Type RA which will be unveiled on June 8th. The car will
be a production model and the picture confirms it will come with a carbon fiber
roof.
Full details will be released a week from now but
the car is also slated to have a carbon fiber rear wing and 19-inch BBS wheels
with a gold finish. Drivers can also look forward to a host of interior tweaks
including the addition of Recaro seats and possibly some sportier trim
combinations.
Given the WRX STI Type RA is a performance model, it
comes as little surprise that it will come equipped with a retuned suspension
that reportedly features Bilstein shock absorbers. We can also expect a handful
of engine and transmission upgrades but the company is keeping details under
wraps.
