Subaru Rally Concept Car debuts as 5-door at 2007 Frankfurt International Motor Show
CHERRY HILL, N.J., Sept. 11, 2007 -- Debuting at |
the Frankfurt International Motor Show today is the Subaru World Rally Championship Concept car which in its 5-door form points to the future direction of the Subaru WRC competition car.
Boasting a striking all-new Subaru World Rally Team livery, muscular, widened fenders and twin exhausts, the World Rally Championship Concept car's body type is in line with the continuing growth in world demand for sporting 5-door models and has been designed to further improve the Subaru World Rally Team's performance in future rally series. |
The SUBARU WRC Concept car benefits from many potential advantages in its 5-door design. Subaru engineers have determined that this body style, with its reduced front and rear overhangs and rigid yet flexible chassis, provides the driver with increased body control while also reducing the moment of inertia during high speed cornering - both essential aspects of rally racing.
Another feature of rally racing, the 'tail slide' is also positively affected by the 5-door design which allows the car to power through corners on a variety of surfaces in a more controlled way. |

5-door model being pushed out to the corners, the driver's control and understanding of the vehicle's positioning is improved and the elimination of body overhangs further reduces the likelihood of impact during high speed maneuvers.
Other features of the SUBARU WRC car include Subaru's legendary boxer engine which due to its geometry provides outstanding natural handling characteristics with the torque levels |
