Subaru Impreza WRX STi Takumi Concept

Subaru Impreza WRX STi Takumi Concept

The above is supposed to be a preview of the upcoming Impreza Spec-C. It’s been christened the Subaru Impreza WRX STi Takumi Concept and gives us a sneak peek at the styling of the upcoming lightweight version of the Subaru Impreza. You can expect the Spec-C to shave at least 70kg off the stock standard STi via lighter body panels and roof, with other modifications as well such as bigger brakes and revised gear ratios.

    Performance should be good for a road going Impreza.

    Shame Scooby still can’t break the duck against Citroen & Ford in WRC, particularly Citroen. Even after the discontinuation of electronic diff in the series. Now , almost 5 years Citroen is still reign supreme!

    TO BE a Takumi version… i has to fulfill a few criteria :

    1) Can transport one big busket of tofu at the back.
    2) Need to have at least one cup holder in the center console for driver.
    3) Need to have good clearance to clear all those longkang at Akina Mountain

    Other stuff like the drive train layout i would however reserve my thought as he seems to enjoy 4wd cars too… ;p

    But if it doesnt have the top three criteria.. you cant call it a takumi concept liao

    Nice car, but the only machine worthy of that name is something called an AE86…they should called this the Bunta since he drives a Scooby

    Yea… abtm is right.. the Takumi concept should be more suitable to be used for Toyota instead with a FR layout car. Hahaha…….
