That's not all, this car does not have the front subframe, which contributed to some of the weight saving.
The version with 17" alloys have abs, whereas the one with 16" steel wheels have the adjustable diff but no abs.

Don't be surprised, since the very early days of Japanese rally homologation specials, there's always a 'taxi spec' on offer. From the Galant VR4, to the Pulsar GTi-R, to all the Evo RS, they always have a version with steel rims, base model seats, no a/c and unfancy steering wheels.
This is the first time subaru have done a taxi spec tho.

... two wheel options.



new lightweight BBS alloys with Bridgestone RE070


power and torque


centre diff control

My original post seems to have disappeared.

Anyway it was pictures and specs of the new STi RA Type C

Put these pages through altavista Babelfish http://babelfish.altavista.com/ Jap to English and you can make quite good sense of the specs - can't post a direct link -sorry.
