no the 07 suabru luks more like the road car coz its the same shape almost and it has the spoiler and bonnet scoop, the new 0 wrc car doesnt have the bonnet scoop like the road car and the spoiler on the wrc car is huge and the road car is tiny
it has the scoop and the spoiler but the spoiler is much much smaller and the hood scoop is integrated into the hood so it is bigger but less noticable. also the redesigned the '08 road car first so that the body looks as simillar to the wrc as the 07 road did to the 07 wrc car.
I think it has more to do with trying to keep the lower center of gravity for the car. But I'm glad they are keeping the scoop in the market STI, that's what makes the STI's, the snarling scoop that the driver in the front of you sees when he looks in the rearview mirror, saying 'get out of my way' >:o, (although its not as menacing looking as my 07 :D).
In my opinion, it has less to do with aerodynamics, because the WRC cars are usually going sideways. It will help, but lowering the center of gravity is more important to these guys.
em... WRC imprezas didn't have the intercooler right under the scoop for a long time (if they ever did), I/C in front, behind the bumper gets much more air, they wouldn't do with the I/C on top. These cars work!
P.S. WRC cars don't usually go sideways! Going sideways scrubs your speed down, although it often happens, that cornering on loose surfaces is fastest done through powersliding.
yea, i guess they have kept the blue and the subaru world rally team logos,it will grow on me i guess. i see the drivers are still wearing the yellow and blue hats lol, its prob coz they aint got the new 1s yet but it would be a good idea to wear them then least there will be abit of the old look wat we all know. there overals look abit plain dont they?
good thing about this rally was that petter and phil were able to make it to 2nd by their new impreza. bad thing is that at the sametime chris and stephane retired in the end... its sad that new impreza lost it's bonnet hood that sedan impreza had and yellow marks they used to have...
yep it aint really a subaru anymore but least it still sounds the same lol.its funny chris was able to get in the top 3 with the old subaru and petter couldnt and now its the otehr way around,they should of kept chris in the old subaru lol
yeah chris should have kept on ridin 07 wr subaru and petter drivin 08. but i think for sure, chris wanted to ride on 08 too... but any ways, 08 WRC Subaru doesnt look bad... i mean if they had the yellow traditional marks, it should have been awesome!!!!
hmmm i stil think the 07 looked awsome...these 09 one..aint so bad at all...actually looks badass with all

u must be looking at the 07 sti because the 08 wrc looks almost exactly like the new 08 sti road car.

WHERES THE SCOOP?!?!?!?!?!?!?
dodgeman1997 3 years ago
actually the scoop has been removed because its no longer functional = front mount intercooler

But on the WRX STI the front hood scoop is functional, the intercool is top mounted on them.
New WRC regulation?

Atkinson did set some fast stage times though. Just a matter of finishing now.
