Subaru Impreza R205, 2010

 

Subaru Tecnica International Inc. (STI) is pleased to announce the launch of the Subaru Impreza R205, a special performance version. The model will go on sale today through Subaru dealerships in Japan.

Based on the Subaru Impreza WRX STI, the R205 enhanced the sheer driving performance it shares with former special performance models, such as the "S203" and the "S204", developed by STI. The Subaru Impreza R205 is the top performance model of the WRX STI. It features new and exclusive equipment and makes full use of specially designed features and performance parts of the "WRX STI spec C" model, the sporty performance model launched 2009. The "R" of R205 stands for "Road Sport".

Most efforts focused on refining handling performance by adopting STI tuned dampers, coil springs, flexible type strut tower bar, flexible type lower arm stiffener of front suspension, and Bridgestone's specially designed RE070 tyres. Thus the Subaru Impreza R205 ideally balances agile driving and confident driveability by enhancing a linear steering response and excellent road-holding capability. This is exactly the distinctive ride quality that STI is pursuing as its vehicle development theme, "strength and nimbleness" driving. The Subaru Impreza R205 offers enhanced total driving control not only in city driving on the road or winding road but also in sporty driving at the circuit.

In addition, STI carried out verification tests of selected performance parts of the Subaru Impreza R205 through the participation of the 2009 Nurburgring 24-hour race with an Impreza WRX STI. Making full use of this precious race-track experience at Nurburgring - in which any road condition is condensed - STI successfully completed the model in order to offer sheer excitement and unique driving feeling as a distinctive "Road Sport Model".

The Subaru Impreza R205 delivers an increased 235kW (320PS) of maximum output, and 431N.m (44.0kg.m) by adopting the exclusively designed turbocharger with ball bearings for the turbine axle bearing, specially tuned ECU (Engine Control Unit), and the sport muffler with lowered back pressure exhaust. SI-DRIVE (SUBARU Intelligent Drive) is also available to neatly suit driving style in any driving situation at driver's command.

The front under spoiler, newly developed rear under spoiler, and the black rear spoiler improve aerodynamics. Exclusively designed 18-inch alloy wheels, specially colored front grille and side STI garnish accentuate its uniqueness.

Fuji Heavy Industries Inc. (FHI), the maker of Subaru automobiles, announced the unveiling of its all new Subaru Impreza (U.S. specifications).Developed around the product concept of new, more refined designs for comfort, the latest Impreza incorporates sophisticated styling and rich interior design, roominess and space, and outstanding comfort and utility, while offering a pleasant and safe ride enhanced by Subaru Symmetrical AWD (All-Wheel drive) with the Horizontally-Opposed engine.

Advanced core mechanism
The new Impreza showcases a redesigned chassis, body construction and drivetrain, as well as substantially improved overall performance, under the theme "Only Subaru can deliver such attractive performance and values."1 It also provides a pleasant ride with ease of handling and integrates performance with advanced safety and environmental considerations.

FHI recently set forth a new theme for Subaru cars that stipulates Subaru's goal: Subaru offers a comfortable, pleasant drive for the driver and passengers; provides peace of mind and reliability; and extends convenience, utility and functionality.

Chassis
The newly designed double-wishbone rear suspension effectively absorbs shocks from road surfaces, ensuring high levels of ride comfort and agile handling.
The lower center of gravity, enabled by the Boxer engine, has been enhanced by mounting the engine slightly lower in the chassis, thereby further improving stability.
Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC), available on a wider grade range of the Impreza lineup, increases active safety.
 

Body construction
Additional use of high tension steel and reinforced joints has greatly improved rigidity.
Streamlined body construction, while ensuring safety, makes weight reduction possible, which in turn improves fuel economy and maneuverability.

Engines and transmissions
The 2.5-liter Boxer engine features ideal power output characteristics under a practical range of driving speeds through improved mid- to low-end torque. The engine has also been modified to improve emissions and fuel efficiency.
The 2.5-liter SOHC normally aspirated engine adopts a new intake port and other design changes that make improved low-end torque and fuel efficiency possible. Improved emissions were realized by a new catalyst system that optimizes catalyst efficiency.
Incorporating a newly designed intake manifold, intercooler and turbocharger, the 2.5-liter DOHC turbocharged engine delivers improved mid to low-end torque and fuel efficiency.
Transmissions, both manual and automatic, were modified for faster, more responsive shifting and better maneuverability.

Safety
Advancing the Ring-Shaped Reinforcement Frame Body Structure with front and rear crumple zones, the new Impreza has realized high levels of safety and crash worthiness.
All models are equipped with dual SRS airbags, side SRS airbags, and curtain airbags.
A collapsible safety pedal is available on all models to reduce the risk to feet in accidents.
Refined styling and elegant interior design
The new Impreza combines sporty styling with ample interior space and integrates functionality with elegance.

Exterior design
Refined styling is highlighted by a perfectly proportioned body, well calculated panel curves that reflect light and shadow in harmony, and quality details.

Sweeping character lines on both sides express a sense of speed and individuality.
A sporty image is underscored by projecting front fenders and rear quarters.
Projector lamps, used in the headlights, give a dynamic three-dimensional appearance.

5-door model
A clean and elegant line flows continuously from the front grille, up the A-pillar, across the roof down to the rear gate.
An aerodynamic rear spoiler, standard on all models, heightens the car's sporty image.
 

4-door model
The rear overhang is 165 mm longer than on the 5-door model, which gives the car a more elegant sedan look.

Interior design
Spacious and open interior provides comfort and improves visibility.
Aluminum-look insets in the center panels and door trim add a sporty feel and airiness.
The navigation screen, as well as the vehicle information and audio displays are placed at the top of the dashboard for improved visibility and functionality.
High-grade, double-stitched seat fabrics provide a feeling of quality.

Packaging and utility
The new Impreza rides on a 95-mm-longer wheelbase than its predecessor, which enables expanded interior space.
The all-new double-wishbone rear suspension makes room for a wider and deeper luggage compartment, enhancing the utility of the car.
On the 5-door model, the rear seats feature a 60/40 split folding mechanism that allows various seating arrangements and increases cargo capacity. The wide and flat load floor can accommodate two Tour-size golf bags, or five carry-on bags.
The 4-door model provides a larger trunk that can accommodate three Tour-size golf bags. The rear seats feature standard 60/40 split backs, giving pass-through access to the trunk.
Larger door openings, which are enabled through new sash construction, afford improved ingress and egress, and the rear doors open 75 degrees to allow for better rear seat access.
The door panels house molded recesses that can hold 720-mL PET bottles.

Subaru Releases Test Footage of Advanced Subaru WRX STI Research and Development from Nurburgring, Germany

CHERRY HILL, N.J., June 8 - Subaru today released footage covering advanced research and development carried out at the Nurburgring's racetrack in Germany, using a 2011MY Subaru WRX STI 4-door (sedan) test vehicle. Subaru has been using the famous Nordschleife course since 1992 for advanced R&D as well as tests of the WRX and WRX STI models. The video uploaded on the Subaru Global Site www.subaru-global.com features this year's development work. It is presented as a highlight of Subaru's persistent effort to stretch vehicle performance to unprecedented levels.

The concept of the 2011MY WRX STI is "The Fastest WRX STI Ever." At Subaru, the phrase "Fastest" refers to more than just top speed or maximum engine output. It implies driving with confidence. The WRX STI can be taken to its "fastest ever" performance by providing the driver with total driving control with confidence. Major upgrades to the 2011MY WRX STI focused on the chassis and suspension set-up, and tests at the Nurburgring demonstrated the supreme overall dynamics and linear behavior of the new STI. Tommi Makinen, the legendary four-time World Rally Champion, piloted the test vehicle for the development. He commented, "The car was controllable with precise and faithful handling even on tricky corners. I could easily predict the car's behavior. That is exactly what Subaru is offering, confidence. As a result, the 2011MY WRX STI test vehicle recorded 7'55''00, Subaru's fastest lap time ever, which is 4 seconds faster than the previous fastest time recorded in 2004."

The 2011MY WRX STI 4-door will go on sale world-wide this summer. Upgrades to the 4-door version will be carried over to the 5-door model.

Subaru Ballistic

Subaru Ballistic Of Accelera

Publik Jakarta kembali terhenyak ketika ditampilkan Subaru Ballistic yang sudah sampai pada evolusi generasi ke-3

Future Design

Untuk model dari Ballistic-3 ini, mirip dengan mobil konsep yang didesain Mazda California Design Studio dan Swift Engineering, Mazda Furai. Dan untuk membentuk mobil ini seperti Mazda Furai, hanya sasis bawaan saja yang disisakan, lainnya dibuang. Sebagai penguat tambahan dan juga berfungsi sebagai tulang bodi, 3 buah jenis besi disematkan didalamnya yaitu besi siku, besi gepeng dan besi pipa dimana masing-masing besi ini disesuaikan dengan bentuk dan juga penempatannya. Besi siku bertindak sebagai penguat sisi kulit bodi, besi gepeng berukuran 1.2 mm untuk bagian bodi yang menghadap keatas dan yang terakhir yaitu besi pipa dipergunakan untuk membentuk pilar A, B sampai belakang.

Bagian dek dalam pun didesain ulang dengan aplikasi bahan aluminium setebal 1.2 mm dengan penempatannya direndahkan dan berpatokan 3-5 cm dibawah kopel bawaan. Hal ini juga yang mempengaruhi posisi duduk dan juga ketinggian atap. Sedangkan untuk bodi, seluruhnya terbuat dari bahan fiberglass, kontur bodinya yang “berstruktur” menyerupai desain alur angin dengan baluran airbrush warna silver, hitam dan merah yang mengacu pada shadow concept semakin mempertegas kesan futuristiknya.

Interior Sports Car

Aroma sports car terasa kental ketika melongok kedalam area kabin. Mulai dari jok yang dibuat single seater dan mengadopsi konsep kenyamanan dari gokart. Belum lagi dengan setirnya yang digarap menyerupai kemudi pesawat. Dari area inilah, instrumen-instrumen dan tombol-tombol yang ada difungsikan serta tetap menjunjung estetika sebuah sports car. Dan untuk lebih mengentalkan nuansa sports car, dashboard dilapisi material berbahan suede dan yang lainnya berbahan sintetik berwarna hitam dengan jahitan warna merah.

Konstruksi sistem motorize yang tersembunyi, membuat konsepsi engsel dan trigger perantara menjadi cukup rumit. Akan tetapi kesemuanya tetap mampu dibuat dengan rapi dan tidak meninggalkan fungsi dasarnya. Dan yang mampu membuat publik berdecak kagum adalah dengan mengaplikasi cellular security system custom yang mampu membuat mobil mampu dihidupkan dari jarak jauh dengan perantaraan ponsel. Begitu juga untuk mematikan mesin mobil, cara yang sama juga dipakai. Untuk itu dibutuhkan bantuan komputer CT2 autolock, untuk mengatur pergerakan motor starternya agar dapat bekerja secara sempurna. Komputer ini tinggal menyesuaikan waktu kerjanya sampai menyentuh titik picu agar mesin dapat hidup sempurna.

Dengan kualitas akhir (finishing) bodi yang sangat cermat dan penerapan konsep serta ide yang benar-benar matang dengan detail yang bisa dibilang baik dan presisi, membuahkan hasil modifikasi ekstrim yang patut untuk selalu diacungi jempol. Congratulation...!
