At this event, rumorous Subaru WRX STI TYPE RA - R CONCEPT was first introduced. I tried checking the real car I care about maniac.
　RA-R CONCEPT is based on the current WRX STI model which purely pursues the pleasure of running by weight reduction of each part
First of all, besides the mesh type grille into which the cherry red stripe enters in the difference of the exterior, it is the dry carbon aero door mirror cover of a new shape that draws attention to what it is. It is said that the fin provided on the door mirror cover cleans the air flowing from the fender and reduces the front lift. Of course, the material itself is made of dry carbon and it is an item that can expect a considerable weight saving.
The side garnish which is equipped in the fender adopts the black type as in S207 and 208. It contributes to the sporty look which also leads to the S series along with the roof's black colored roof antenna.
Actually, when looking at the front bumper well, the nozzle of the head lamp washer is not attached. We are also trying to reduce weight by making it less available.
In tires and wheels that contribute to the most weight reduction of the whole vehicle, we have installed 18 inch BBS and realized light weight and high rigidity at the wheel, and in the domestic market, the 18-inch Michelin pilot sports 4 S is being sold.
It seems to demonstrate high mobility by weight reduction of the unsprung mass at the total of tires and wheels. In addition, rear fog lamps and rear windshield wipers have been made less in terms of stacking small points. Even exterior alone seems to be considerably lighter.
In addition to this, part of the undercover is omitted in the part of "exterior which is hard to see". By making the under cover, which is originally standard equipped on all cars, as much as possible, RA - R CONCEPT dedicated to the undercoat which suppresses damage due to chipping to the part where the cover is omitted
When looking into the engine room, making the hood insulator less noticeable. Even such a small thing will be combined with the accumulation of the small things mentioned above, resulting in a large weight saving.
Also, as waste weight reduction points unexpectedly unknown, the washer tank capacity also shrinks. It has been changed from 4 liters to 2.5 liters. Headlamp washer and rear wiper may not be installed and it seems that even a small amount is enough capacity
The power unit generates the same 329 horsepower as S208, employs a ball bearing turbo and emphasizes response. Because the weight of the vehicle is about 1480 kg due to thorough weight reduction, we are finished in the most powerful VAB with weapons of overwhelming power and lightness.
Of course, even in the interior the weight saving points are diverse. For example, if it is a domestic VAB, the seat is two choices of Ultra Suede or Genuine Leather Specification, but adopting a lighter fabric by making it a Fabric.
The rear seat also achieves weight reduction of the rear seat by making the armrest and the cup holder less available.
In the fine part, the shifter boot have also been changed to one sheet which has a double structure in which the base model emphasizes quietness and texture.
Of course, the shift knob itself is also made by Duracon, thorough weight reduction is given.
When I look up to the trunk room, I made the spare tire less available and made it as a puncture repair kit. Spare tire bread Meru****o in the pan is also done without thoroughness for the first time! Actually it is quite difficult to realize the process which is different from ordinary model on the factory line, it seems that there is considerable hardship just to make it into a lesser cost.
RA-R that was unveiled as a concept model for the moment. This perfection makes you feel a countdown to marketing.
