Subaru Rally Concept Car Debuts as 5-door at 2007 Frankfurt International Motor Show
Debuting at the Frankfurt International Motor Show is the Subaru World Rally Championship Concept Car which in its 5-door form points to the future direction of the Subaru WRC competition car design.
Boasting a striking all-new Subaru World Rally Team livery, muscular, widened fenders and twin exhausts, the World Rally Championship Concept car's body type is in line with the continuing growth in world demand for sporting 5-door models and has been designed to further improve the Subaru World Rally Team's performance in future rally series.
Another feature of rally racing, the 'tail slide' is also positively affected by the 5-door design which allows the car to power through corners on a variety of surfaces in a more controlled way.
Subaru of America, Inc. is a wholly owned subsidiary of Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd. of Japan. |GlobalGiants.com|
