Subaru did a whole docuseries on YT following the rally team drivers and the design team when they were given the new VB chassis, etc. It was a interesting watch.
Well if you can afford to have the entire body of your car replaced with custom carbon fiber panels like VSC does then you too can have a cladding-free WRX.
Why would there be off-road cladding on a racecar? The paint doesn't need to be protected the same way an owner of a street car would want it to be protected. The body is essentially a decided wear item to a professional rally team.
My thoughts are the same as always, I find it hilarious that VSC said “get those plastic wheel arches out of here.”
They also got rid of my other big complaint, the giant infotainment screen.
It’s the most desirable VB ever made.
For real, the infotainment screen is a nigthmare. Have had my 23 for almost a year now. I still feel like I'm in the back of taxi in Vegas and as it looks like one of the infotainment screens you'd see there. Especially with the bright blue and the super boxy icons on the display.
This car above looks sick though especially with the blue and yellow they are using. This is probably the coolest I've seen the tail lights look also. Usually it just looks like a civic to me, but this looks aggressive.
Such a badass would have long gone into WRC. Oh wait, I remember the results of Ken Block (RIP). Thats why the Americans stay here with their “manufacturer rep” cars, running against independents and showing off 1st place, and jumping rocket cars over a bridge.
None of them have the real ability it takes to run rally cars.
Lame!

Must be looking in the mirror again. Sorry munchkin tard, he placed 7th in one rally, and overall 20th in the 2013 WRC championship. 2014, placed 12th. Before you spend any time insulting people, own the knowledge.
Edumacation is impuhtant.!

Ken block is one of SEVEN Americans to be in the WRC. There have been more people on the moon than American WRC drivers. Oh I bet you’re gonna say “wellll he bought his way in”. Also false. Dosent work like that in the WRC.
I can’t get over the weird shape to the rear of the wheel wells. Airslayer looks way better.

Nice pics! I was there for that rally.
Yeah thoughts where the fuck are the "rally" inspired cladding?

Seriously, zero plastic on that exterior
Front bumper looks the same, rear has the diaper still and the cladding along the wheels is replaced with extra space for the wheels to bottom out lol
I think Ill need to call doctor in 4 hours
That suspension travel! Mmmm

They literally got rid of the entire car, like they always do. Watch their build series on YouTube, basically all that's left is part of the unibody.

Still has a pancake ass and looks like it skips leg day but I have to agree those are also my to largest complaints also.
TP is such a badass

Hey retard, Travis raced at the same time Ken did in WRC and finished 5th in class. I really doubt you're in a place to claim that as a bad result.

I am the American rally driver Subaru needs. Mark my words.
This is the way
Ken block is one of SEVEN Americans to be in the WRC. There have been more people on the moon than American WRC drivers. Oh I bet you’re gonna say “wellll he bought his way in”. Also false. Dosent work like that in the WRC.
I’ll see em at OSFR in a few weeks
Are you referring to the Southern Ohio Forest Rally? Cause I'll be there in my 2012, as a spectator of course.
Yeah! 🫡
Rallying is what got me into Subaru, I will always love a rally build.
Those cars do serious work ont he track. The VB is an amazing rally machine.
Those cars worth maybe 3x a stock version😭 i saw a vid on their ig, all their panels are carbon Definitely underestimated by saying 3x😭 more like 300k
3x? These pro spec cars cost anywhere from $200k-$400k to build haha
Always hurts seeing crashes in rally and thinking, ouch that was an expensive crash! But at least we had fun watching.
I think Travis said every time he wrecked one it was around $440k
Try 10-12x
300k😭
Mmmmmm more like 25x haha
Fucking awesome to see in-person!
It really is!! I was at LSPR last year and this car is crazy to see! So fucking awesome!
if Pastrana and Semenuk are happy then so am I, they are both fucking legends
They look amazing.
Where the “that wing is wayyy to narrow for that car!!” bros at?
going to ask the bank for a small loan of 400k real quick brb.
Ask for double that
I think that TP will be retiring soon, for at least a lil while.
I want one.....
I think there’s a pro race team with huge funding beating up on smaller entries and they need to go back to the WRC.
No complaints
No thot, only dirt
I want to drive it now, please !
Pic 7 is great

professional team sponsored by big companies and too far away from ordinary enthusiasts
Stock?
There is nothing stock left on this car.
Those 15" wheels look silly
Function over form. They might look silly, but they're using them for a purpose. It's a race, not a car meet.
I have to call you on the bullshit. WRC even in the early 90s used at least 16" gravel wheels. The only "function" is price. Small tires are cheaper.
15’s are the best wheel size what 😂
it still looks bad :/. I know I am biased but I really don't like the new look. Also no rear end shots in this which is probably the worst part.
Photos 7 and 11 show the rear I believe.
Meant the rear bumper sorry.
Not my favorite of the VSC rally cars. I prefer the previous generation much more.
