Subaru releases brand new boxer engine details

Subaru’s new boxer engine details have just been released and the main result is better fuel economy than the existing models whilst maintaining plenty of power and torque.

The new Subaru normally-aspirated (non-turbo) engine is the third generation developed by Fuji Heavy Industries, Subaru’s father company, and it’s the first brand new engine since 1989.
Subaru engines have always been robust, fairly powerful and very torquey especially when matched to high-geared ratios within Subaru’s all-wheel drive system. But the engines weak link has always been consumption and economy. It’s not that the engines are bad on fuel, they just consume a little more than the rivals.
Now though, Subaru and Fuji Heavy Industries have improved this area with indications noting a 10 percent increase in fuel economy. This was done through the use of lighter moving parts and an Active Valve Control system for the intake and exhaust.
The new 2.0-litre engine uses undersquare bore and stroke measurements too, meaning the pistons travel further than they are wide; 84mm bore and a 90mm stroke. This helps with torque and reduces the engine’s inclination to want to rev higher for more performance. Figures of 109kW and 196Nm are on offer.
Managing Director, Subaru Australia, Nick Senior said in a recent report,

“This is an exciting engineering development from FHI. They’re renowned for the durability of their engines and this new unit will take the sophistication to a whole new level that we’ll look forward to experiencing in some versions of our best-selling Forester next year.”

Subaru says the new engine will be available in both 2.0-litre and 2.5-litre capacities and will first go into the market with the Subaru Forester model year 2011, which will be launched early next year.

Subaru Impreza WRX 2011

Subaru Impreza WRX 2011 is presented at the New York Auto Show.This new model has been improved and Subaru couldn`t just tweak the engine, they tweaked the body too. Subaru Impreza WRX 2011 has a wider track, with about 1.5″. The body modifications are completed with a new “face” and the 17″ wheels.
The new Subaru Impreza WRX 2011 has the same power specs as the previous model: 265Hp and 244lb-ft of torque.

subaru toyota 2011

These are very first spy shots of the Subaru and Toyota joint-developed rear-wheel-drive coupe. The test mule seen in the pictures looks like it’s sporting many body parts from the Legacy, albeit it’s apparent that coupe is much more compact in dimensions. We’re not so sure about the platform but in a previous official statement issued by the two Japanese carmakers, the yet unnamed coupes will be based on an all-new platform with power coming from Subaru’s range of boxer engines.

Judging by our experience that could translate to a modified version of the existing Impreza platform and 2.0 / 2.5-liter naturally aspirated and turbocharged engines. Needless to say that we can’t make any assumptions about the coupe’s appearance from the test mule pics. However, since both coupes are slated to enter production in 2011, expect a Toyota and Subaru concept version to appear sometime in 2009 with the production version making its official appearance in a major car show in 2010.

Subaru unwraps 2011 Subaru Impreza WRX with wider body design at New York Auto Show

Japanese carmaker Subaru unveils the 2011 Impreza WRX at the New York Auto Show. The design lines reveal the intention of the manufacturer to close the style gaps between the STI and the WRX models. The 2011 Impreza has a wider body and a more aggressive stance compared to the conservative look of the outgoing model.

The new Impreza WRX has a wider front and rear. It is also fitted with 17-inch alloy rims matched with 235/45R17 tires. Indeed the 2011 WRX is ready to pounce on the road compared to its older sibling.

The 4-door and the hatchback versions still sport the turbocharged 2.5L engine that can give out 265 horsepower. The engine is couped with a manual gearbox with a 5-speed configuration.
The wider body resulted to additional 33 pounds but it really doesn’t affect the performance of the car. The sedan will be 6.5 inches longer and logically offers more storage space than the hatchback version.

The design team also injected sharper bumper corners, wider fog lamps that are blacked out to blend well with the new profile. Some aerodynamic features were also added like the front spoiler on the lower lip.

Subaru Impreza receives free upgrades

Subaru is offering complimentary performance upgrades worth £3,200 to buyers of its top Impreza models.

The Subaru Impreza WRX and STI Type UK will come fitted with the popular Prodrive Performance Pack, which cuts 0-62mph acceleration times from 6.5 seconds to 5.9 and 5.2 seconds to 4.8 respectively.

All this extra speed is down to a high-flow sports exhaust and remapped engine management software. Handling and looks are also improved, courtesy of 18” multi-spoke alloy wheels.

The price of Impreza WRX has also been reduced by £95, and now costs from £18,995, while the STI Type UK starts at £27,590.

Cool Snow Modified Car - TRAX STI

2006 Subaru Impreza S204

This high performance version of the already shatteringly fast standard Impreza WRX STI has an extra 39 bhp to take its peak power to 320 bhp at 6400 rpm, a 14 percent increase. Torque has risen to 319 lb-ft at 4,400 rpm, a 10.5 percent increase over the 289 lb-ft of the standard Japanese 2.0-liter Impreza WRX STI (U.S.-spec Impreza WRX STI features a 2.5-liter engine).

Available with a six speed gearbox and adjustable centre differential for the All Wheel Drive transmission, the S204 is available in silver, black and blue and will sell for 74,990 New Zealand dollars (about 47,000 US dollar

Subaru Ballistic

Subaru Ballistic Of Accelera

Publik Jakarta kembali terhenyak ketika ditampilkan Subaru Ballistic yang sudah sampai pada evolusi generasi ke-3

Future Design

Untuk model dari Ballistic-3 ini, mirip dengan mobil konsep yang didesain Mazda California Design Studio dan Swift Engineering, Mazda Furai. Dan untuk membentuk mobil ini seperti Mazda Furai, hanya sasis bawaan saja yang disisakan, lainnya dibuang. Sebagai penguat tambahan dan juga berfungsi sebagai tulang bodi, 3 buah jenis besi disematkan didalamnya yaitu besi siku, besi gepeng dan besi pipa dimana masing-masing besi ini disesuaikan dengan bentuk dan juga penempatannya. Besi siku bertindak sebagai penguat sisi kulit bodi, besi gepeng berukuran 1.2 mm untuk bagian bodi yang menghadap keatas dan yang terakhir yaitu besi pipa dipergunakan untuk membentuk pilar A, B sampai belakang.

Bagian dek dalam pun didesain ulang dengan aplikasi bahan aluminium setebal 1.2 mm dengan penempatannya direndahkan dan berpatokan 3-5 cm dibawah kopel bawaan. Hal ini juga yang mempengaruhi posisi duduk dan juga ketinggian atap. Sedangkan untuk bodi, seluruhnya terbuat dari bahan fiberglass, kontur bodinya yang “berstruktur” menyerupai desain alur angin dengan baluran airbrush warna silver, hitam dan merah yang mengacu pada shadow concept semakin mempertegas kesan futuristiknya.

Interior Sports Car

Aroma sports car terasa kental ketika melongok kedalam area kabin. Mulai dari jok yang dibuat single seater dan mengadopsi konsep kenyamanan dari gokart. Belum lagi dengan setirnya yang digarap menyerupai kemudi pesawat. Dari area inilah, instrumen-instrumen dan tombol-tombol yang ada difungsikan serta tetap menjunjung estetika sebuah sports car. Dan untuk lebih mengentalkan nuansa sports car, dashboard dilapisi material berbahan suede dan yang lainnya berbahan sintetik berwarna hitam dengan jahitan warna merah.

Konstruksi sistem motorize yang tersembunyi, membuat konsepsi engsel dan trigger perantara menjadi cukup rumit. Akan tetapi kesemuanya tetap mampu dibuat dengan rapi dan tidak meninggalkan fungsi dasarnya. Dan yang mampu membuat publik berdecak kagum adalah dengan mengaplikasi cellular security system custom yang mampu membuat mobil mampu dihidupkan dari jarak jauh dengan perantaraan ponsel. Begitu juga untuk mematikan mesin mobil, cara yang sama juga dipakai. Untuk itu dibutuhkan bantuan komputer CT2 autolock, untuk mengatur pergerakan motor starternya agar dapat bekerja secara sempurna. Komputer ini tinggal menyesuaikan waktu kerjanya sampai menyentuh titik picu agar mesin dapat hidup sempurna.

Dengan kualitas akhir (finishing) bodi yang sangat cermat dan penerapan konsep serta ide yang benar-benar matang dengan detail yang bisa dibilang baik dan presisi, membuahkan hasil modifikasi ekstrim yang patut untuk selalu diacungi jempol. Congratulation...!

Sketches new sports coupe Subaru!

Some drawings of sports coupe Subaru which this firm develops together with Toyota, have filtered into the Network. Though "green light" is not given the project yet, Subaru aspires not to lag behind from Toyota.

The variant of given coupe Toyota will show already on a motor show in Tokyo, its concept car has received designation FT-86. Some details about it have been sounded this week, including a mention that the car should use the two-litre four-cylinder motor Subaru which capacity can make to 200 h.p.

Sketches Subaru look almost identical FT-86, and all differences – to some extent cosmetic. So, with a spoiler there is a third stoplight in the middle, and exhaust pipes all as are hidden in the case.
