Toshihiro Arai's demo run in the new Impreza STI group N

[hawkeyesurfer]

Nice driving at 1:50

[stresser87]

how much cost this group N car???

[workshop77777]

I would say a Prodrive group N car would be around 110,000 pounds sterling. I have seen also Tommi Makkinen racing is building 2009 groun N subarus for 140,000 Euros. Toshi would have a lot of connections with Subaru in Japan so maybe this a Group N car built by STI themselves.

I think they ran this exact group N car as a double zero car in some WRC rounds before it was officially homologated in 07, hence the big orange lights on the roof!!

gcartergam? I have 93' Subaru Impreza stock 312k miles on it right now it still runs like brand new(engine+trans) it's not fast but for everyday driving it's fast enough and strong enough. My brother just bought him 08 impreza wrx and I'm happy with everything on that car especially looks because its not for everyone it's only for Subaru people. Just another jealous Mitcu guy. Because it wasn't a subaru you drove they don't just blow even if you don't know how to drive they will get youhomesafe.

wow dude, im from Australia so we measure in kilometres, 312k miles is massive for any car on the road here let alone 312k kilometres. i totally agree with u, i have the 08 wrx and they drive well. i suspect the spec over seas may differ a little tho. well done on the milage :)

[torbwrc]

go toshi go!!!!

[gcartergam]

This stock Sti is a bad car, slow, weak, and bad steering, engine and gearbox blow after hard running. You only know about japanese car, poor, fuck!!!

[sterne6i]

Haha, reading your comment I get the impression you obviously don't know sh*t about cars in general. THIS ain't a stock STI. Shoudn't be too hard to find out, don't you think?

You just sound like a desperate Xsara boy racer only able to show Youtube doing 209Km/h (130mph) on public road. You sure you are 33 years old?

[shinobi594]

LOL he drives a Xsara!!! That's like the one of the Gayest cars on the market! Man, that sucks for him. He seems mad at Citroen for not making a WRC spec AWD turbo Xsara for the public and is currently stuck with the FWD slow version....

[Makemyday0126]

Ah I reckon that wappin great light bar on the roof threw everything out of kielter.

[damianferro]

great driving! great car!

[zerotypera]

And this is supposed to be the Group N car? Maybe it is setup for the dirt rather than a track

[Tommy493]

This car was pretty unstable in that long corner. And he was gearing up too early. Simply said, I havent't a good feeling about this car. Hope that the WRC will be better to control!!!

[kngfufytr]

It didnt look like he had the right tires on the car, They looked like dirt tires. Im sure if they put on tarmac tires it would handle that long sweeper a little better.

[obiwun32]

You obviously don't know anything about driving a Group N rally car, it has a 32mm restrictor on the turbo so the engine looses power at high revs, peak torque arrives before 5000rpm hence the short shifting. As for the handling, this is very typical for a gravel set up car running on gravel tyres. Toshi has driven this car excellently considering the set up.

Piękna jest nowa N-ka! Napewno pomoże się podnieść SUBARU w rajdach.

that's a big monitor! 19 inch?

and nice drift Toshi!
