what do you think of this new toy?




The B11S will be equipped with a new horizontally-opposed, 6-cylinder engine still under development. Design goals include twin turbo-charged power, exceptional low- and mid-range torque, and plenty of power - 394 horsepower and 405 lb-ft of torque.

The AWD system will be integrated with a 5-speed automatic transmission with VTD (Variable Torque Distribution). This sophisticated All-Wheel Driving System enhances vehicle stability. The VTD automatic transmission uses a planetary gear-type centre differential and electronically controlled hydraulic transfer clutches that control power distribution between the wheels. The addition of VTD means that torque can be split between the front and rear wheels as needed, in response to road conditions.

what do you think of this new toy?
What do I think of this new toy? After a year I still don't know what to think This car has been talked about for a while. I-club had this on their front page for a good 3 months, the linking thread still exists here: https://www.i-club.com/forums/showth...&threadid=9632

Its an ok car but originally Subaru said this car was never to go to production but was to be an indication of future Subaru models.

alledgely...The GD is supposed to be an improvement over the GC I like the stiffer chassis of the WRX (GD) . I like the 3.90:1 gears and the solid (smaller) doors, but with that said the GD is something like 500 or 300 heavier than the GC (at least in Japan anyway, here I think something like 300 pounds RS (GC) and WRX(GD) ) again the legacy is there (no pun intended) I would take a GC any day of the week over a GD...
