In his memory will be held between today and tomorrow a giant rally Subaru Impreza, which percorreranno in Britain a journey of 490 km.
Less than two weeks ago we had anticipated the imminent arrival of the new Subaru Impreza WRX and GT. Today, about these two versions of the model of Pleiades, come all the photos and specifications officers.
The WRX has done a nice leap forward from the previous generation: with more power, more handling and more aesthetic wickedness has been transformed into a real sport. The Impreza GT, accomplice also the bodywork three volumes, it is certainly more quiet: no coincidence she is scheduled for only an automatic transmission four-speed transmission.
The new WRX, as we had predicted, has well-265 hp at 6000 rpm., 40 more than the previous year. The net gain of power was achieved through the use of a turbine biggest, unloading a diameter greater and-not least-the adoption of a catalyst more permissive. The engine cylinder is contrasted here supported by a manual five-speed transmission. The 2.5 turbocharged boxer, instead on the GT delivers 225 hp at 5200 rpm, the same power at its disposal the previous WRX.
Vade retro Spec C why cut comfort and technical envelope when you can safely enlarge the shoulders of the propeller? Subaru submit to review three interpretations London-based Impreza. Two are ready and ordered; one, the most powerful, yet veleggia in mystery.it is a new car.
The less extreme (in blue in the photos) leads the symbol WRX-S, where the addition of the final syllable announced an increase of power of twenty horses - 255 total - and a simultaneous improvement in performance: the acceleration 0-100, in fact , Is covered in just 5.5 seconds (-0.6).
The intermediate step takes the symbol TSI 330S: the numerical value indicates the output expressed in its evaluation metric. In relating the exact power - 325 horses - avoid the gimcane imposed by marketing. The additional power is achieved thanks to the presence of a discharge from 9 cm in diameter and a ECU mapped by specialists Prodrive, consultants in the implementation of all three products.
Within the next few months the subaristi incalliti (but not only them) will have a toy even more powerful and fun-filled new Subaru Impreza WRX STI adding the words Spec-C the official name of the model, behind a series of small and large changes made by the Japanese house in order to make even more brutal the poisonous two volumes.it is new luxury car.
Where are spoken Japanese technicians? First on the weight: the work file has scraped away almost 70 kilos, thanks to the adoption of crystals thinner, a small battery and aluminum panels for the doors, the luggage compartment and the roof.
Other technical amendments will cover the 2.5 turbo, which will receive some more horse el’impianto braking which are intended new rapier six pistons. All this will be seasoned by a characterization more aesthetic eye, other than that of model departure nell’aerodinamica especially in the front and rear diffuser.
It will be held in Japan, from 7 to 9 July, the G8 Okkaido and the main theme will be that of oil prices and global environmental problems. On this occasion will be made available to many hybrid cars last generation Toyota will provide 11 Lexus LS 600 h, 15 and 43 Hybrid Crown Estima Hybrid, as well as five buses on hydrogen and a plug-in Prius prototype. Nissan will exhibit instead the X-Trail Clean Diesel, while Subaru will present the Star Concept, a hybrid plug-in rechargeable from the normal house plant, which will offer a shot.
Great turmoil in Japan for hybrid cars, since the country is preparing to introduce strict rules on from October 2009, which will certainly heavy fallout on the car market.
