Note the weight is shown as 1470 kg. This is far heavier than the 2007 Group N homologation minimum wieght of 1345 kg. It will be interesting to see what weight is on the homologation form in January.

Weight aside, the brochure shows two gravel stage test results (one a Finnish stage driven by Makinen) with 0.3 sec per km advantage to the new Group N car.

They play up the advantages of double wishbone rear suspension... I still bet the WRC car goes with struts, but we shall see.

Honestly even from the eyes of die-hard Subaru fan, this car doesn't look good or fast. Hopefully it's just appearance, and this awful appearance doesn't translate into the WRCar.

I think the technical data can't be N14... no N4 car with restrictor could have 422 Nm at 4400 rpm and 308 Hp at 6400 rpm. This is probably passenger version as well as the weight.
