STI wins class at Nurburgring 24 Hours

Subaru’s WRX STI has won its class at the Nurburgring 24-Hour Race in Germany, regarded as one of the world’s toughest motor races.

The WRX STI was entered in the SP3T class, for under 2.0 litre turbocharged vehicles. It finished 21st overall in the field of 210 cars which started the race.

The Nurburgring comprises a 25.378 kilometre circuit, which is frequently used by the world’s leading car manufacturers, including Subaru, to test the limits of performance cars.

Subaru Tecnica International has competed in the event every year since 2008. Since STI’s first outing at Nurburgring, it has been aiming for a class win while steadily improving its car’s performance.

This year’s car is based on the Japanese domestic market specification WRX STI tS.
Following last year's fourth in class result, the team competed in the 2011 six-hour VLN endurance race at Nurburgring on 14 May, with an eye on a class win in the big race. In the shorter event, drivers familiarised themselves with the new car and the track, and the car was set up to suit the track conditions.

The team brought back driver Toshihiro Yoshida, who has considerable experience in the race and Carlo van Dam from Holland and Marcel Engels from Germany, who both joined the team last year. Kouta Sasaki, a regular Japanese series Super GT competitor, was the fourth driver.

The 24 hours began with the WRX STI starting from sixth place in class following qualifying.

The WRX STI moved up in the initial wet conditions to take the lead in its class by the one-hour mark. Conditions later turned dry, but the WRX STI held on to top spot.
It completed a total of 142 laps, or 3603.7 km, during the 24 hours.

Team Manager Hideharu Tatsumi, General Manager of STI's Vehicle Experiment Department, said: “This time, the purpose was to compete against the world's best cars with a car that STI developed and to win. I am very pleased we achieved this goal. We've been able to prove here that STI's direction in creating cars is correct. I hope that we've been able to convey our message - that STI cars provide pleasure, to as many Subaru owners as possible.”

Subaru WRX STI tS announced for Japan
Limited to 400 units

Subaru has released the first details about the 2011 WRX STI tS.

Based on the WRX STI sedan, the special edition prominently features a carbon fiber roof, an aluminum hood, a front lip spoiler, an STI-tuned suspension, and 18-inch alloy wheels. Inside, there's RECARO sport seats, a push-button ignition, and unique sill plates.

The tS is powered by a twin-scroll turbocharged 2.0-liter Boxer engine with 227 kW (308 PS / 304 hp) and 430 Nm (317 lb-ft) of torque. On the other hand, the A-Line tS uses a single-scroll turbocharged 2.5-liter with 221 kW (300 PS / 296 hp) and 350 Nm (258 lb-ft). As you've probably guessed, the tS is connected to a six-speed manual transmission while the A-Line is backed up by a five-speed automatic.

On sale next month, the special editions will be priced from 4,020,000 yen ($48,000 / €36,520) and production is limited to 400 units.

Сиреч 2,0 с два компресора е по-добро от 2,5 с един.
и "tS" означава "Tuned by STI"

Е, кое им е смешно на участниците?

Ицак,това не съм го допрочел за двата компресора:)явно е звярска работа,ихх т'ва нещо турбо кефа кога ли ще го усетим:)

Обади се утре ще ти дам да караш берлингото( с турбо е) 0-100 - 12 сек.

В клас SP 3T няма друг японски автомобил, само европейски, явно не им се явява тук.

Тука мотора по-мощен го дават.

The car will be powered by a 2.0 Boxer DOHC with a twin scroll turbo pushing out 335-hp and 340 ft-lbs of torque. It’ll be mated to a 6-speed transmission with a front, center and rear LSD. Suspension will be handled by Bilstein while it’ll race on Dunlop tires wrapped around BBS wheels.

Не е странно, японските турбини са все 2.0 (като изключим автомата СТИ А-line и май Легаси ГТ, ама той е за дядовци , като мен ).

Дискове и джанти яки

Хе хе, биалетките и стаб. щангите си бият на ОЕМ , а хората от улицата първо това сменят.

и аз мисля че са сток-овки:)

twin scroll не са две турбини, а една.

и друг рекорд - с нечовешко овладяване на лош камшик при 150mph!

Хм..., ами това какво е?

2009 Subaru Impreza WRX STI Spec C (ball bearing type twin scroll turbocharger)

До колкото помня и стандартите STI за Япония са twin scroll.

Това е twinscroll турбина

една на брой twinscroll не е bi-turbo.

Една де Битурбо Impreza, пък и с twin scroll ще да е скъпо удоволствие
За незапознатите - twin scroll турбото събира изгорелите газове от колекторите 2 по 2 - затова и тръбата в топлата част на турбото е разделена на 2 канала Ползата е, че се развъртали като дизели Импресите с тия турбини - от 1500 оборота въртяли задниците вече казват собственици...пък как е в действителност
