Subaru Rally Team USA Teases Fans with 2015 WRX STI in Rallycross Spec



Subaru of America offered a peek into their racing future with a Rallycross-spec 2015 WRX STI today at the New York International Auto Show. This STI was a joint project with Subaru Rally Team USA, RedBull Global Rallycross, and NBC to promote the 2014 RedBull GRC season that begins May 18. The STI Rallycross car features a custom widebody, a carbon fiber modified STI spoiler, rally car-style roof scoop and mirrors, along with Method Race Wheels mounted with RedBull GRC's new Yokohama spec race tire. Vermont SportsCar, home of Subaru Rally Team USA, prepared the STI. The full-race version will be in the hands of team drivers Bucky Lasek and Sverre Isachsen this fall. Travis Pastrana and David Higgins, who compete for Subaru Rally Team USA in the Rally America Championship, are expected to get a stage rally version of the 2015 WRX STI later this year as well.
