Cosworth announces Impreza STI CS400

Subaru has announced the result of its automotive collaboration with Cosworth to bring you the new Subaru Cosworth Impreza STI CS400.

The Cosworth Subaru Impreza STI CS400 develops 400PS (395bhp) at 5,750rpm. However, the torque figure has not yet been announced. The company says the Cosworth Subaru Impreza STI CS400 is able to rocket from 0 to 62 mph in 3.7 seconds which brings it extremely close to the supercar realm. The standard car needs 5.2 seconds to reach the same speed.

Engine-mods aside, Subaru reported that the Cosworth Impreza STI CS400 will feature a bespoke brake package with six-pot callipers and 355mm discs at the front developed in partnership with AP Racing, an upgraded suspension and a new sport exhaust system.





Press Release

COSWORTH IMPREZA WILL HAVE SUPERCAR-HUMBLING PACE

The result of one of the most eagerly anticipated automotive collaborations in recent times is heading fast towards Subaru dealerships. The Cosworth Impreza STI CS400 officially goes on sale in June, and is set to offer performance-car fans the thrill of a lifetime.

Subaru has confirmed the car will boast an impressive 400PS (395bhp) at 5,750rpm, sufficient to dispatch the 0-62mph sprint in just 3.7 seconds (compared to 300PS / 296bhp at 6,000rpm,and 5.2 seconds for the standard Impreza WRX STI). This ensures the Cosworth-tuned car will be one of the most accelerative all-wheel-drive hatchbacks ever.

Subaru also reports that the Cosworth Impreza STI CS400 will feature a bespoke brake package - with six-pot callipers and 355mm discs at the front - developed in partnership with AP Racing, giving the car prodigious stopping power. Coventry-based AP Racing is a leading supplier of brake and clutch components to teams in the Formula One Championship and the World Rally Championship, as well as to leading supercar brands including Bugatti.

A wide range of further upgrades have been made to the suspension, exhaust and to the donor Impreza's exterior and interior styling. An exclusive, limited edition run of 75 Cosworth Impreza STI CS400s will be produced, and full details of pricing and technical specification will be announced closer to the on-sale date.

2006 Subaru Impreza S204

This high performance version of the already shatteringly fast standard Impreza WRX STI has an extra 39 bhp to take its peak power to 320 bhp at 6400 rpm, a 14 percent increase. Torque has risen to 319 lb-ft at 4,400 rpm, a 10.5 percent increase over the 289 lb-ft of the standard Japanese 2.0-liter Impreza WRX STI (U.S.-spec Impreza WRX STI features a 2.5-liter engine).

Available with a six speed gearbox and adjustable centre differential for the All Wheel Drive transmission, the S204 is available in silver, black and blue and will sell for 74,990 New Zealand dollars (about 47,000 US dollar

Subaru Ballistic

Subaru Ballistic Of Accelera

Publik Jakarta kembali terhenyak ketika ditampilkan Subaru Ballistic yang sudah sampai pada evolusi generasi ke-3

Future Design

Untuk model dari Ballistic-3 ini, mirip dengan mobil konsep yang didesain Mazda California Design Studio dan Swift Engineering, Mazda Furai. Dan untuk membentuk mobil ini seperti Mazda Furai, hanya sasis bawaan saja yang disisakan, lainnya dibuang. Sebagai penguat tambahan dan juga berfungsi sebagai tulang bodi, 3 buah jenis besi disematkan didalamnya yaitu besi siku, besi gepeng dan besi pipa dimana masing-masing besi ini disesuaikan dengan bentuk dan juga penempatannya. Besi siku bertindak sebagai penguat sisi kulit bodi, besi gepeng berukuran 1.2 mm untuk bagian bodi yang menghadap keatas dan yang terakhir yaitu besi pipa dipergunakan untuk membentuk pilar A, B sampai belakang.

Bagian dek dalam pun didesain ulang dengan aplikasi bahan aluminium setebal 1.2 mm dengan penempatannya direndahkan dan berpatokan 3-5 cm dibawah kopel bawaan. Hal ini juga yang mempengaruhi posisi duduk dan juga ketinggian atap. Sedangkan untuk bodi, seluruhnya terbuat dari bahan fiberglass, kontur bodinya yang “berstruktur” menyerupai desain alur angin dengan baluran airbrush warna silver, hitam dan merah yang mengacu pada shadow concept semakin mempertegas kesan futuristiknya.

Interior Sports Car

Aroma sports car terasa kental ketika melongok kedalam area kabin. Mulai dari jok yang dibuat single seater dan mengadopsi konsep kenyamanan dari gokart. Belum lagi dengan setirnya yang digarap menyerupai kemudi pesawat. Dari area inilah, instrumen-instrumen dan tombol-tombol yang ada difungsikan serta tetap menjunjung estetika sebuah sports car. Dan untuk lebih mengentalkan nuansa sports car, dashboard dilapisi material berbahan suede dan yang lainnya berbahan sintetik berwarna hitam dengan jahitan warna merah.

Konstruksi sistem motorize yang tersembunyi, membuat konsepsi engsel dan trigger perantara menjadi cukup rumit. Akan tetapi kesemuanya tetap mampu dibuat dengan rapi dan tidak meninggalkan fungsi dasarnya. Dan yang mampu membuat publik berdecak kagum adalah dengan mengaplikasi cellular security system custom yang mampu membuat mobil mampu dihidupkan dari jarak jauh dengan perantaraan ponsel. Begitu juga untuk mematikan mesin mobil, cara yang sama juga dipakai. Untuk itu dibutuhkan bantuan komputer CT2 autolock, untuk mengatur pergerakan motor starternya agar dapat bekerja secara sempurna. Komputer ini tinggal menyesuaikan waktu kerjanya sampai menyentuh titik picu agar mesin dapat hidup sempurna.

Dengan kualitas akhir (finishing) bodi yang sangat cermat dan penerapan konsep serta ide yang benar-benar matang dengan detail yang bisa dibilang baik dan presisi, membuahkan hasil modifikasi ekstrim yang patut untuk selalu diacungi jempol. Congratulation...!

STI to introduce the Subaru Impreza "R205"

Tokyo, January 7, 2010 - Subaru Tecnica International Inc. (STI)* is pleased to announce the launch of the Subaru Impreza "R205", a special performance version. The model will go on sale today through Subaru dealerships in Japan.

Based on the Impreza WRX STI, the R205 enhanced the sheer driving performance it shares with former special performance models, such as the "S203" and the "S204", developed by STI. The R205 is the top performance model of the WRX STI. It features new and exclusive equipment and makes full use of specially designed features and performance parts of the "WRX STI spec C" model, the sporty performance model launched 2009. The "R" of R205 stands for "Road Sport".

Most efforts focused on refining handling performance by adopting STI tuned dampers, coil springs, flexible type strut tower bar, flexible type lower arm stiffener of front suspension, and Bridgestone's specially designed RE070 tyres. Thus the R205 ideally balances agile driving and confident driveability by enhancing a linear steering response and excellent road-holding capability. This is exactly the distinctive ride quality that STI is pursuing as its vehicle development theme, "strength and nimbleness" driving. The R205 offers enhanced total driving control not only in city driving on the road or winding road but also in sporty driving at the circuit.

In addition, STI carried out verification tests of selected performance parts of the R205 through the participation of the 2009 Nurburgring 24-hour race with an Impreza WRX STI. Making full use of this precious race-track experience at Nurburgring - in which any road condition is condensed - STI successfully completed the model in order to offer sheer excitement and unique driving feeling as a distinctive "Road Sport Model".

The R205 delivers an increased 235kW (320PS) of maximum output, and 431N.m (44.0kg.m) by adopting the exclusively designed turbocharger with ball bearings for the turbine axle bearing, specially tuned ECU (Engine Control Unit), and the sport muffler with lowered back pressure exhaust. SI-DRIVE (SUBARU Intelligent Drive) is also available to neatly suit driving style in any driving situation at driver's command.
The front under spoiler, newly developed rear under spoiler, and the black rear spoiler improve aerodynamics. Exclusively designed 18-inch alloy wheels, specially colored front grille and side STI garnish accentuate its uniqueness.

What's best Subaru Impreza o Mitsubishi Evo?

The first Mitsubishi Evo arrived in 1992 and the Subaru Impreza quickly followed it one year later. From that moment on, these two cars became arch rivals who would frequently lock horns both on the tough stages of the World Rally Championship, and in the pub bragging stakes as the debate raged over which was better, the Impreza or the Evo.

On paper both these cars seemed identical; both had 2 litre turbo charged engines, both had permanent four wheel drive and through the many variations that followed both grew increasingly more conspicuous wings, spoilers and flared wheel arches.

No matter which one of these Japanese road rockets you eventually favoured, the general consensus of opinion was that for a single lap of the race track the edgy Mitsubishi Evo was considerably more fun. However for the drive to and from the track you would stick with the more comfortable, but just as capable Subaru Impreza.

Sadly whilst both the Impreza and Evo were born to compete on the demanding gravel, tarmac and mud strewn roads of the word rally stage, both manufacturers have now withdrawn from the competition, and the kudos and respect that it once drew has been lost. After all, where else could you see your favourite car win a round of the world rally championship at the weekend, and then use the very same version for your Monday morning commute.

As their rallying glory days start to slip in to the past, Mitsubishi and Subaru have now released new versions of their fabled road cars in the shape of the Evo X, and the Subaru Sti. However, is the era of the four door supercar eater starting to pass? Especially now as the front wheel drive hot hatch seems to be making such a resurgence.

Whilst Mitsubishi has continued with the four door saloon theme, Subaru has bravely branched out and made the new Impreza a hatchback. Time will tell whether this has been a wise move, however from their powerful xenon headlight bulbs at the front to their high winged spoiler at the back, both cars still look ready to take on a rally stage, and more importantly both cars have the performance and handling to humble more exotic machinery.

Sadly the motoring press has not been too kind to either of these new versions, with many believing that previous generations of both the Evo and Impreza offered more involvement and driver enjoyment. This problem has been compounded by the new range of hot hatches from Ford, Vauxhall and Renault, which offer similar levels of performance for a lot less fuss.

The latest Subaru Impreza and Mitsubishi Evo are still incredible cars, however they no longer have the field to themselves and as car manufactures seek to economise further on their production, we may start to see these niche models disappearing.

The 2008 Subaru Impreza

The 2008 Subaru Impreza could have been more better if the manufacturer would have care to put some more viable changes to the engine and other features. The affordable small car is ranked quite low for its outdated power train and uninspiring style. However the Impreza could only impress the drive when it comes to fuel efficiency and some amount of safety features. Subaru counts this car among the sporty vehicles of time but to be sporty small car it requires some quality.

The all new Subaru Impreza is a all wheel drive car which is ranked low because of its failure to provide good engine choices. The newly redesigned car could not match the new designs of today's needs. Subaru also provided Impreza wagon and Impreza WRX which are performance oriented cars. The performance of WRX is somewhat reliable but the Impreza midsize car could not impress the critics and auto lovers much.

Under the Hood:
The Subaru Impreza has been criticized for it's under performance and less powerful engine features. Let us see what it utilizes under the hood. The Impreza is installed with a standard 2.5-liter aluminum alloy 16-valve boxer engine which makes 170 horsepower and also 170 pound feet of torque. This power is not enough to give the acceleration the present American generation wants. The car can achieve the benchmark of 60 miles per hour in just 9.1 seconds. The smooth line of four-cylinder engine can perform but when it's a Subaru Boxer engine it must have added some more power. The car can achieve 20 miles per gallon in the city and 27 miles per gallon on the highway. This is not so impressive because there are other affordable mid size cars like Toyota Camry and others which have more powerful engine and can do the same.

The Subaru Impreza WRX which is performance oriented car has been able to offer impressive performance with its 305 horsepower, 290 lb-ft 2.5 liter four cylinder engine. This car can achieve the milestone of 60 mph in just 6.1 seconds.

The other model of Subaru called Legacy too used the same engine which the Impreza uses but it has more power options that the 2008 Impreza model. Legacy has a choice of another engine of the car is a 2.5 liter four-cylinder turbo charged engine with 243 horsepower and 241 pound-feet of torque at 3,600 rpm. Moreover there is the is the 3.0 liter six cylinder Subaru boxer engine which makes 245-horsepower and 215 pound-feet of torque at 4,200 rpm. This engine with a five-speed automatic transmission with SPORTSHIFT rev-matching control can give only 17/24 mpg at its bes
