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

2007 PWRC champion Toshihiro Arai out on the Fuji Speedway for a demo run in the new Impreza STI group N rally car.

In the Vidoe it says, that on the demo run the ECU switched into 'safe mode'. Therefore it was not possible to demonstrate the full potential of this group N rally car...

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!!!

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?

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....

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 :)

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!!

how much cost this group N car???

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.

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.
