2011 The Subaru Legacy Chases Impreza's Footsteps

There are several automobile companies that have made a good impression amongst the consumers. Some have been known for their high-class, esteemed models, whereas a few of them are popular for their affordability and reliability. One such firm is Subaru. The Subaru brand of vehicles are known worldwide in today’s time. In their kitty, they have autos, light trucks and sports utility vehicles that have successfully represented an eccentric, intelligent, free-thinking people. Subaru is a known automobile brand that boasts of quality and performance in their vehicular choices. It has a very niche market. Thus, it is not positioned in the "basic transportation" segment of the auto industry across the globe. The interesting fact about this brand is the “boxer” engines that are used in mass produced cars and SUVs. Hence, their targeted markets are Porsche and Ferrari for their engines. Because of the niche market, they take pride in offering their brand of automobiles to discerning, educated, younger people with a taste for adventure.

The company has established headquarters in various countries. It is not a shock to see this firm in Australia that views Subaru as a smart, solid, but different brand. Opening Subaru Melbourne was also a good step by the company because many people in this exotic location love the models released by Subaru. The Subaru Legacy was one of the models that ended up becoming the most popular in the Australian marketplace.

Subaru 259HP Forester S-Edition Launches in Australia

The flat-four is coupled to a 5-speed paddle-shift automatic transmission, which sends power to all wheels through Subaru’s Variable Torque Distribution all-wheel drive system. To improve handling, engineers fitted the S-Edition with sport suspension and 17-inch Subaru Tecnica International (STi) alloys, wrapped around in 225/55 R17 Yokohama rubber.

With plenty of torque available from down low – and constant between 2,800-4,800 rpm –, the Forester S-Edition sprints to 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 6.5 seconds and can reach a top speed of 228 km/h (142 mph).

Wringing this car's neck will surely result in some scary consumption figures, but, according to the official fuel economy estimates, a laidback driving style can result in the burning of just 10.5 lt/100 km (22.4 US mpg) in a combined cycle, which is downright acceptable.

Compared to its more mundane siblings, the S-Edition also comes with a black grille, various chrome accents, silver roof rails and, for a limited period, World Rally Blue color option.

Inside, sport seats clad in a combination of alcantara and leather, S-Edition seat embroidery complemented by blue stitching, sporty instrument display and special gear shifter set this model apart.

2011 Subaru Impreza WRX STI

Subaru Impreza WRX STI trim is installed with similar features of WRX model but this model gains six speed manual gear transmission, high performance tires, 18 inch wheels, rear and front limited slip differentials, Brembo brakes, SI drive settings, bigger hood scoop, aggressively tuned suspension, xenon headlights, faux suede, sports seats and leather upholstery. WRX STI trim is added with navigation system, 18 inch BBS wheels and sunroof package.

Some other helpful equipment like bumpers and bumper lips are also designed for this purpose. Mounted on the front and rear of a vehicle, the front and rear bumpers work to absorb the impact of the car crash, so that unnecessary damage to the car and hurt to people inside the car may be got rid of. Bumper lips are designed as the supplements of the bumpers. Generally speaking, OEM bumper lips are made from high quality material like carbon fiber, poly-urethane plastic and ABS plastic. Some car manufacturers even adopt fiber reinforced plastic as the bumper lip material. These durable materials allow the bumper lips perform well.

In addition, a vehicle's stylish front cover-grille also can somewhat protect the car in car bumps.

SPIED: 2011 Subaru Impreza WRX STI Spec C Sedan Scooped at the 'Ring'

The new 2011 Subaru Impreza WRX STI sedan was officially revealed at the New York Auto Show earlier this month, but our spy photographers have captured the Japanese maker's big-winged saloon testing at the Nurburgring.
At a first glance, it appears that the car is nothing more than the European specification version of the high-performance sedan.
However, a closer look reveals small but important differences clearly suggesting that the STI seen here may very well be a prototype for a limited edition Spec C model.
These include the blacked out alloy wheels, gold colored brake calipers (quite possibly "brembo"), fog lamp covers and the front lip spoiler, all of which were not shown on the New York Show car but are standout features on the JDM Impreza STI Spec C hatchback (see here).
If Subaru follows the same recipe with the five-door Spec C, then the sedan variant should also boast other performance upgrades including a tweaked engine with a recalibrated ECU, revised suspension and steering systems, beefier tires and a different limited slip differential along with a lightweight aluminum hood, laminar window glasses and a downsized battery.

Subaru UK Upgrades Impreza WRX & STI with Free Prodrive Performance Packs

Starting from this month and until the end of June, Subaru's Impreza WRX and STI Type UK will be offered in Britain with a bunch of performance upgrades worth over £3,200 at no additional cost.
The free items for both models include the Prodrive Performance Pack, which increases output and further improves acceleration, and new 18-inch alloy wheels and tires.
The Performance Packs, developed in conjunction with Prodrive, add a recalibrated ECU and a high-flow sports exhaust system. On the Impreza WRX, output rises from 230HP to 265HP, and torque from 320Nm to 390Nm, while on the STI, from 300HP to 330HP and from 407Nm to 470Nm, respectively.
With these upgrades, the Impreza WRX accelerates from 0 to 62mph (100km/h) in 5.9 seconds (standard WRX: 6.5 sec) and the STI in 4.8 seconds (standard STI: 5.2 sec).
In addition to the free performance upgrades, the Japanese firm has also reduced the retail price of the WRX by £95.

Subaru Impreza P1 Coupe Owners Celebrate 10th Anniversary

The first and only Subaru road car to bear the Prodrive name, the Impreza P1 coupe, is ten this year. To commemorate the event, 100 owners of the Impreza P1 made their way to Prodrive's headquarters at Banbury on Sunday 9 May. They were joined by some 300 owners of various Subaru Imprezas and more than 1,000 fans of the brand.
Considered by many as one of the most sought after limited edition Imprezas, the P1 was developed as a joint venture between Subaru UK, the Japanese firm's STI division and Prodrive, which was responsible for the automaker's WRC cars.
Based on the Japanese market Impreza Coupe, the P1 had significant enhancements engineered by Prodrive to the suspension, drivetrain, trim and aerodynamics.
It was powered by a modified version of the Impreza Turbo's boxer engine producing 280 horsepower and 363Nm of peak torque, compared to 218HP and 290Nm of the standard version
It came with Subaru's all-wheel drive system featuring a centre differential with viscous coupling while it also shared the Turbo's limited-slip rear differential.
British designer, Peter Stevens who was responsible for the McLaren F1 and Subaru WRC car developed a special front spoiler extension together with a new design of rear spoiler following extensive wind tunnel tests to reduce lift and improve balance.
The two-door car was unveiled by England's only World Rally Champion, the late Richard Burns, at the UK motorshow in 1999, and went on sale in 2000. At launch, Subaru and Prodrive planned a 500 car production run, but due to high demand a total of 1,000 examples were produced, all in the same unique blue color.
