    It is amazing the difference you feel in the passenger seat. As the driver you know it will stick round the bend but when you’re the passenger it feels like you’re heading for the ditch. I guess you get the extra feedback from the steering to feel what’s really going on.

    Always good to keep your passengers on edge ?

    Subaru teases ultimate WRX STI

    Set to be sold in Japan as the WRX STI TC 380, and limited to a run of 50, the machine features a range of special components which set it apart from regular models.

    Based on Japan's 2.0-litre Subaru WRX STI, the new model benefits from a new turbo, exhaust and catalytic converter sourced through Japanese aftermarket firm HKS, along with a new intake and strut brace developed by former rally driver Toshihiro Arai.

    Other elements include a carbon lip spoiler and special Recaro seats. 

    The "TC 380" badge could be a reference to the car's engine output, which may be 380 horsepower, or 283kW (well up on the standard Japanese car's 227kW peak).

    Could this be the last of the petrol WRX STI’s before the hybrid versions are released?

    Does it do it more when you are reversing while on lock? 

    Mine does it, it’s like it’s crabbing a little. Something to do with the diff. It has never caused any issues and I have always considered it a feature ? Someone with far more tech knowledge will no doubt give you a better explanation shortly.
