Time to wrap up the 2010 Hyper Meeting coverage with this final look at more action and some of the most powerful all-wheels-drive machinery in Japan, starting with the mighty AVO Impreza demo car, now sporting a lighter curb weight and even more power. As Ross explained they managed to shave off close to 60 kg by using lightweight materials and fitting
One of the biggest attraction of the Hyper Meeting is always the race cars and you can't get more aggressive than this GT300 Cusco Impreza, a car that was never particularly successful in Super GT but one that always grabbed the heart of enthusiasts. This is now replaced by the Legacy in the GT300 class. It is yet unknown if Zero Sport will create
Time to dive into the world of all-wheel-drive cars with a more detailed look at some of the action and at some of the rides on display from the 2010 Hyper Meeting. Like every year this is the first event that I get my first serious sunburn of the season, and the sun sure didn't spare my poor sensitive skin this time round either! Despite this I
After spending last weekend down in Nagoya it was back to the Ibaraki-ken countryside today for what has for many years been one of the biggest track events of the year, the Hyper Meeting. As I made my way through the paddock this morning I was very impressed with the turnout of cars, which seemed to span as far as the eye could see, and the number
Right now in the Big Apple, the New York International Auto Show is in full swing, and we've seen some pretty interesting new models revealed this year. This morning Subaru unveiled the 2011 Impreza STI, which will once again be available as a traditional four-door sedan. This didn't come as a huge surprise of course, after we found out that
Back in 2007 when Subaru introduced the all new, "more mature" WRX, the car wasn't met with giant grins but with looks of confusion. What had happened to the hard-edged, "rally car for the street" feeling that made the earlier models so popular? Subaru addressed these complaints by giving the WRX a big power increase for 2009

Yes, these are without a doubt two of the coolest looking Imprezas around. Alex Wiborg is a regular Speedhunters reader who sent us some photos of his red 2006 Subaru WRX, along with his friend Logan's new model STI. The first thing that struck me about this WRX is the color. How often do you see one of these cars in red? It's not common, but
Reader Michael Mendoza sent us a photo of his project car, a '98 Subaru Impreza Wagon. Originally born as an Outback model, the car was in Michael's words "a two tone horrid looking thing that a grandma or soccer mom would drive". It's now sporting a full JDM exterior conversion, as well as suspension work. Future plans include
We have seen a lot of coverage from TAS over the last week but I still haven't touched on all the cool modified Subarus and Mitsubishis that were present at the show, like the blisteringly fast Tomei/Cusco/Voltex Impreza that was on display at Tomei next to their Z33 demonstrator. I'm really glad to see how well and how fast the CZ4A has come
