  • 4 seconds is a lifetime during a race against the clock.

  • u can see from the video the car has massive understeer like most Sti's. Also 4 sec after so much R n D is not a lot. Subarus still have issues with the internal components of their engine. why after so many years can they do it right ? Mitsubishi has been doing a better and better job in every aspect while subaru ( once a rally car legend) has been lagging...

  • Comment removed

  • (soo-bah-doo)

  • i would have preferred bobcat goldthwait narrating then this guy...

  • subaru sti = speeding tickets

  • subaru is not made for circuit :( its made for the mud & offroad !!

  • yes these are fast. but pistons suck. fix the pistons than maybe local subaru dealers wont have to keep replacing motors due to them and maybe more and more people would actually like driving them.

  • @JColxx you just gotta treat it right man. like most other cars except hondas.

  • 18 years and they shaved off 4 seconds off the previous lap record. Woop Tee Fucking Doo.

  • @MrShadowz1337 4 seconds faster than the 04

  • my ears are bleeding, this is horrible how he pronounces Subaru and Nürburgring.

    KILL IT, kill it with fire

  • @jaguar123987x what do you propose he does about it? its his accent, americans have accents, every area in the world has an accent. nothing wrong with it.

  • @bannainmyass he should hear how to pronounce these words right and try to do a better job

  • ive never heard of a soo-bah-roo either... or an impretza? i think the audio for this track is wrong

  • "The Nurburring" - What's that, stupid narrator? I've never heard of that track.

  • "driven safely at any speed"....

  • I hope Subaru will continue their WRX STI series and I wish Mitsubishi will continue their Lancer Evo series...we're really short of these affordable high performance cars

  • hope that road got some pot holes...lol 

  • Imprets-ah

  • Anyone knows where the spark plugs are for an STI? What is the water clearance for this car. Not that I would go mudding or off road with it, but I do live in a coastal area that's prone to minor flooding.

  • By Jupiters cock Finally Subaru Managed to save 4 FUCKING SECONDS . All hail to SUBARU my Love.

  • Comment removed

  • nice graphics lol

  • ugly 2004 and 2000 version gc8s were the best looking ones

  • Lol when he's talking about its not always about going fast, but its also about the confidence of driving. than they show him signing a waver (I'm assuming) haha

  • Driver from Finland!

  • drtbiker mock my words fcuk ye mate

  • YOUR ACCENT IS SO FUCKING ANNOYING

  • @motortrend I have a question how is the interior in this car and is it true the seats feel like you sitting on plastic one of the reasons why I didn't get an sti in the first place other then its great on performance and gas not a bad investment if you ask me but I feel like interior of this car needs some enhancement and a lot more cushion on the car is not much to ask for

  • I must hae subaru !

  • wtf the road looks like afghanistan....:S

  • love the german-american accent!! hahaha

  • watch the subaru isle of man lap, that shit is awesome

  • This Impreza has been especially handcrafted for the Nürburgring, with special engine, turbo, suspension, body parts, electronics, etc. – it has absolute nothing to do with the Impreza you and I can buy. With all the very expensive modifications required to achieve the 07:55 lap time Subaru just emphasizes how lame and shitty the stock version is and that the current STI offers no substantial improvement over the previous models. Just forget the STI, his time has come to an end.

  • 3:28 YESSSS HE said SU(oo)-BA(ahh)-RU not soo-boo-roo.

  • Haha key board warriors going hard. I like the car its nice! and thats an impressive track time!

  • its a computerized voiceover

  • It's spelt Subaru but pronounced soo-bar-oo, fuckin' dipshit...

  • beautiful car!

  • will someone tell this douche there is no O in the brand name of this car, nor is there an N in the model name... so quit saying it like that it sounds stupid

  • samosia.pl/pokaz/1977780/sony_­ta_3650

  • WTF Why no gold wheels?? I know you quit ralying but tradition still continues!

  • 2004 - 7:59

    2011 - 7:54

    7 years of technology and changes and you get 4seconds?

  • its still u r a bus backwords

  • what it do mayne

  • @ goochon obviously you've never drive a real performance vehicle. You probably drive a geo metro and think that that's fast and sporty. So next time you get all pissy because your mommy sent you to the room with no super. Dont rag on a good YouTube video.

  • i can see how this car makes lots of people jealous, according to their comments.

  • @goochon you must live in place where it never rains, or snows, and the roads are perfect....idk about you, but I like to be able to drive fast 100% of the time on all roads, instead of 50% of the time on only choice roads.

    @darthjohn0 Engineers do not typically get dirty. Most do not even know how to remove a wheel.

  • So much for engineers...I love how Tommy gets in there and tries to work on the car himself @ 1:52 and @ 2:23

  • Comment removed

  • only fruit shop owners like these fuckin shit uglyass no class buzz boxes, truth hurts sissy bitches

  • in any case, Subaru spelled backwards is  ur a buS

  • what country is Tommi Makinen form? that guy can drive!

  • @1984wrx

    Finland

  • which car to buy sti or lancer evo?????

  • wow really stunning..wish i am richer in 2012 so i can buy this..

  • lol makes me laugh the way Americans say Subaru lol

  • @MyAqaa i'm American and this is the first time i ever heard someone say subaru, like this guy

  • Good good!!

  • Wow wat a car

  • The narrator sounds like he's dutch or something at certain parts

  • Sooh-Bah-Rooh.

  • @dEEtOx702 hahaha funny

  • I swear the voice over is one of the guys from Iron Chef!

  • SooBARoo

  • I'm Imprezzed

  • why does he say subarato?

  • @dippydog if this is seriously a question you need an answer to... go to school.

  • @Avallido89 I guess it must be because the STI is so fast it distorts the name subaru to become subarato? . Maybe if you project your voice so it sounds like a speeding car, suuuubbbbaaaaatooooo and say it really fast because you know its a really fast car.

  • @dippydog maybe its because the track their on is in another country where they have accents and pronounce words differently?.. smh

  • @Avallido89 sure, he speaks pretty good english, sounds like tomarto or tomatoe, patatoe, potarto. Subaru, Subararto. Voice over man probably has a over americanised accent. Probably looking to move into formula one commentary.

  • Great car but 2007-2011 exterior desing it's ugly.

  • anyone notice how he said subaru??? pissed me off....

  • please someone teach him how to say Subaru properly!

  • There are only two cars I want in this world 1) A 1971 Plymouth Hemi Cuda and 2) a Subaru WRX STI Sedan! Both Black on Black. This car is freaking awesome. My only gripe is the car's booty. Not very attractive if you know what I mean.

  • Im getting one in 5months white with gold rims...

  • Loving the sedan, hate the hatchback with a passion, it's just not a Subaru with a hatch!

  • great car , but if it made 7 55 , how come is not on fastestlaps website and CTS-V which made 7 59 , is still considered the fastest ?

  • @FidiAdrianosTV the cts-v is not considered the fastest in any catagory as far as i no, except for maybe the fastest AMERICAN production sedan

  • @FidiAdrianosTV i was wondering that as well!

  • @FidiAdrianosTV CTS-V & STI are different class but they're still sedans

  • @FidiAdrianosTV from Car and Driver "The stickler is that the Subaru in question wasn’t a production car. It was, in the words of the company, a 2011 Impreza WRX STI prototype. The car is basically the bastard child of two JDM-only models with some extra bespoke aero bits thrown in for slipperiness and high-speed stability." I think it also had an aluminum hood.

  • @FidiAdrianosTV Because the STi that was used to set the Record had an underbody part added on as well as different steering wheel, interior changes, etc that arent in the production model. These things have very very little if any affect on performance and is still the fastest STi ever and the fastest Sedan ever around the ring, but even so its not on the official record. Check wikipedia listings, the STi is in the same category as the pagani zonda R and other non-production models

  • @FidiAdrianosTV dude did you hear the parts that said .04 faster that the PREVIOUS MODEL!!!! fucking retard!!

  • @FidiAdrianosTV its a conspiracy made by cadillac

  • ayc

  • 63 people know the EVO is better

  • @TheDrewproductions Did Evo run Nurburging yet ??? alots of People Know Evo was behind Impreza..

  • a sti is not a sti without the golden rims

  • it's pronounced SUbaru... not suHBARew

  • @mtbingdude64 brits say that, mazda and nissan wrong its really tarded

  • @betterdropdatdonk rofl! Took the words right outta my mouth lmao

  • Is he trying to mimic how a Japanese person would say Subaru? Because its fucking annoying. If a white guy goes into a ghetto with black majority and says "What it do mayne?" He's gonna get fucked. If an Asian person goes into a small hick town he doesn't even need to say anything, people will glare at him. So motortrend you fucked up on letting this guy narrate the video. I'm sorry but this guy speaking needs to know that its ignorant to replicate other peoples accent, and fucking fail at it.

  • @betterdropdatdonk like when people try to say Porsche like germans. "Porscha" that makes me angry. haha

  • @betterdropdatdonk

    Who gives a fuck how they say it...Spend your energy on something else

  • @Soulless99 Hey noob, it doesn't take much energy to use my fingers on a keyboard. Kthxbai.

  • @betterdropdatdonk

    noob? haha, ok i see who you are now please keep on whoring

  • @Soulless99 You don't make sense, peace brah.

  • @betterdropdatdonk I think it's very respectful when someone tries to pronounce a non native word properly.It is actually more annoying to listen to someone not make "any" effort to pronounce the words they say from a foreign language.Then there are guys like you who bother to make a comment like this that has noting to do with this video.Your rant serves no other purpose other than to make you look like a bigoted, dumb, pecker-wood,jackass sitting on a porch with a shotgun.

  • @everthinka You're ignorant. You only speak one language so you would not understand now sit the fuck down on your porch. YOU THINK its very respectful? My God the ignorance you just displayed coming out of your ass.

  • @betterdropdatdonk Just means hes being paid to say it like that, same way how the Porsche commercials have it as 'por-sha' instead of 'por-sh' as we say it here.

  • @betterdropdatdonk dude, if he was trying to do that, he would have said "subalu"... probably you have noticed something that only you and other 14 have noticed from the 1.096.520 viewers... get a life, all of you, do something more creative than trying to "throw mud" on somebody's face cause of his accent at the word Subaru.

  • @JohnVour No, If he said "subalu" that would mean hes an actual Japanese person saying it in their native language. Nobody that's native to speaking English would replace the R with an L because that's a common Japanese pronunciation error that Americans don't have. So he say's "soo-bah-roo".

    This is YouTube, where people post videos and I can give feedback through a comment so don't tell me what I cant do. I posted that one comment and I automatically don't have a life? Fuck You lol

  • @JohnVour Also, change your name to John Doe. You're just another nobody attempting to give insightful and creative criticism at someone "throwing mud" lol. Child.

    Bye.

  • @betterdropdatdonk but what if thats they way it really is pronounced?

  • @betterdropdatdonk Perhaps that guy is really Japanese and he's just saying how he normally say it. give him a break man, perhaps he's rude, but he doesnt mean it.

  • @MrVincentbbb No that's not how Japanese people would say it. Read my third comment up.

  • @betterdropdatdonk buddy thats cause subaru is pronounced soo- BA-roo (come together in japanese) he's just a bit off (i dont get pissed off if someone says happy new year in the wrong accent in chinese) LOL theres a little something called reverse racism this generation where people are more sensitive than a 50 year old widow going through menstruation. Im friends with blacks whites and mostly asian and there never has been a problem when we joke with each others stereotypes.

  • @betterdropdatdonk There is no excuse for people who refuse to say things right, but hey! It's still their option and their problem. But being a tool to the point of pretending you know the right pronunciation and then fail does deserve criticism.

    Like that video that mashes up some interviews with Rammstein and the host tries too hard. Completely botched up the German accent and it "hurt my ears".

  • Pisses me off how this dude speaks

  • IMPRETZAAA!

  • @DBFchannel an sti "non turbo" are you on crack ?

  • @alabaska182 really???? The new WRX and WRX STI are really good fucking looking cars

  • i love subaru they're very unique automaker. I hope they're not gonna be the one like toyota.

  • Thats an odd looking kitchen...

  • Why does it have the gold brembo brakes in this video and they changed it to the ugly black ones on the market?

  • @savinglives911 probs cos they needed high performance brakes to test on the Nurburgring but have different ones as stock cos of less stress on the car/cost 

  • if drove by i wouldtn be able to tell is a suby wtf...wheres the roar...now it sounds like a regular car

  • 4 seconds is SO negligible for a 20km track... it's kinda sad lol.

  • @Aspect2010 Thats what i was thinking! and for 8 years of working! LOL

  • They said that conditions were very bad because of temperature being 2 degrees, that is such a funny thing, they tested the car in those conditions just because of turbo engine characteristics. Cold air makes engine work more efficiently and give more power, so they could make it under 8 mins. I Think on the hot day they wont be able to do a sub 8 minute lap.

  • If I was to buy a japanese import, it would be a subaru. Everything else is gay.

  • 39 people likes more old Impreza..

    Im one of them xD

  • my mom is shopping for a new car and I am trying to convince her to get this mofo

  • Subaru WRX STi year 2008 and up^ suck ass!!!.

    2004-2007 FTW!!!!!!!!!

  • @skate69641 I agree in a way. Where did the gold brembo brakes go? Those black STI branded brakes are ugly

  • SOOBARU IMPRETZA

  • Not here to hate but what is big about subaru's. I watched a lot of vids and these things are pulling abulances out of snow. WTF?!? LOL. I would look it up but feelin lazy and hopin for a fanboy to tell me whats big about them. I am very impressed by their awd.

  • lol he calls it sue bar oue.

  • @HostJoe you stupid fuck. that's how you pronounce it in japanese. its like how redneck retard americans say HE-RO-SHEEMA instead of HE-rosh-imma

  • @sjajor i saw he ro sheema aswell and its subaru

  • i like the 06 07 better

  • i still love the -07 sit limited...but them fenders on the new sit are sick..its like it has a wide body kit.....i might trade in my 07 wry to get an sit very soon

  • Rotflmao the way he says Subaru!!! Su BA RRoo... Haha

  • I'm still in love with the '03 model :D The new model looks great though :D

  • i have 07 STI i think new sti 08-12 are so freaking ugly, after 6 year sti only made 4 second faster than 04 model ?? wtf???

  • @jass168 The 07 sti would look nice if you liked a car that looked like a f*cking rat. i puke every time i see one of those.

  • @rexracer861 yeah and you looks like fuking pig?

  • they forget to mention how much of a bitch it is to mod, SS did a article on these and said you need to tune for something as simple as a CAI, that turns me away by itself

    but props on a badass car

  • Subardo?

  • @3xDiRT More like Subaru. It is a Japanese car. So they way he's saying it is correct. Not the Americanized way we say it. Similar to how we say Mazda. But in reality it is pronounced Matsuda or Mazuda in Japan. Depending on the dialect.

  • @shintastic48 I know, I was just making fun of him.

  • :/ I want the 2011 sti front end, but I want it to be combined with the rear end of a 04-07 sedan sti, I don't really like the new sedans rear end (mostly just the wing) but I guess that's just me..?

  • @alabaska182

    was doing a read, about the rear end on the 11's, the handling comes into play quiet abit with the new wing build as well, might not be the greatest looking of em all but if your a performance junky this is it. I do agree with yah tho would be nasty lookin with the 07 rear

  • @alabaska182 I know what you mean, the front has an overall round shape to it with great accents, the rear is just boxy and clashes it with each other. It works on the hatchback though. I still would rather have the sedan sti with the wing just to look different from the other 11 WRXs, But I have a 11WRX hatch just because I need the hatch to do mtn biking

  • @alabaska182 agreed - the rear end looks like a Kia trying to be a sportscar or something lol :S Subaru are definately going backwards in design as are a lot of companies with new models of cars we've loved over the past decade.... </3

  • @alabaska182

    Car looks great, but once you look at the rear, you think "what a hot mess". What were they thinking? Did they get to the back and just call it a night.

  • @alabaska182 couldn't agree more.

  • @select20

    Sorry I was wrong...

    DO NOT get GRB STi...this cars suck !!!

    If you want change your car for STi then get any generaton before GRB !!!

    I still don`t think AYC is good for improve driving skill but better than driving with GRB...

  • could those extra few seconds of better lap time be just because of a better driver or conditions, or both?

  • Mr Sparkarle Soobaroo

  • 37 peoples discovered theyre shit exotic manure is slower that this L4 2.0L engine :(

    when they cars have V8-V10 5-7L engines :(((

  • why doesnt Subaru consider what people are saying about the 2012 sti, It is the ugliest sti ever!, every year the wrx sti gets uglier, they need to stop that streak,everyone loves the 04-07 sti, no turbo, and diesel or hybrid come on keep it the same, the other sti's has, climbed mt Washington in record time, jump 269 ft etc. Dont Fix Something That Doesnt Need To Be Fixed!!! GIVE THIS A THUMBS UP AND POST IT ON AS MANY SUBARU VIDEOS AS YOU CAN, LETS GET THIS NOTICED!!!

  • @DBFchannel i agree..i own a 07 wrx... the 07 sti limited is the best sti they have ever build....but i do love the wide body style i need to post a vid of my wipe

  • i hate how this guy says subaru and impreza >:[

    annoying lol

  • @woahITZscyan You'd hate living in Japan. Cause that's the proper way of saying the name of the company and car...

  • my favorite Japanese car with the exception of the old skyline

  • i wonder what's the lap time of 2011 Evo MR. Like 7'35.00 ?

  • @HolySSJ2 The driving conditions were not the best...and I'm gonna research the Evo's time.

  • @HolySSJ2 I really doubt that. The Nissan GT-R struggles to get under 7'30

  • @HolySSJ2 - Evo IX ran it in 8:11. The Evo X as far as I can tell does not have an official time on the ring. The Evo IX is a tick or two quicker than the Evo X in 0-60 and 1/4 mile due to the X's extra weight. So the X would be hard pressed to get a 7:55. But I've also read that this STI was not stock, that it had an upgraded turbo. So they are probably pretty close to each other on the ring.

  • lol he says "impreza" like "impretzza"

    

  • @ConVic73d suBAHroo

  • this is why i am the proud owner of a Subaru WRX STI......

  • 37 people must take public transportation...

  • @eho187 Make that 38 people :D

  • @eho187 Or drive Evo's

  • He says Nürburgring wrong a german ü sounds like a y.

  • subaru i hate how he says that

  • was the 7:55 time with a stock sti with no modifications?

  • @h2soccergod of course, maybe some adjustments to the suspenstion

  • I truly hope they continue making these cars. I don't want the Evo and STI do be my generations muscle cars where in 15 years we sit around wearing tacky shirts, bad cologne, having meetings in Walmart parkings, and talking about how good it use to be.

  • Best car for the buck imo. this or the lancer..i've had better luck with sub's over mitsus so sti is a no brainer.

  • @ rojm you're "knot" a dumbass?

  • i want this car!!!!!!!! NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • thats not an STI thats an Impreza idiots

  • @rojm An STi is an Impreza.

  • @Destroyoman im knot a dumbass, idiot
