Speedlux just spied the 2011 Subaru coupe on the Nurburgring. The Subie version of the Toyota FT-86 is a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder RWD sports coupe. The 2011 Subaru Coupe is the cooperation between Toyota Motor Company and Subaru, and as such will wear a common chassis and some degree of engine commonality, at the least a 2.0 liter, four cylinder boxer engine dubbed the “C-45 Boxer” and making between 200 and 250 HP will power the rear wheels through a manual six speed transmission.

Perhaps most telling are the car’s overall dimensions. At 163.7 inches long, 69.3 inches, a wheelbase of 101.2 inches, and 49.6 inches high, it’s thankfully compact, smaller in length, width and height than the Nissan 370Z, and slightly longer in wheelbase.  Original Source Jalopnik.

A recent send in has us nodding with approval. This orange Subaru STi has a massive list of performance parts from manufactures such as Megan Racing, HKS, Invidia, Walbro, TurboXS and more.

The first thing you notice is the tasteful set of wheels from Rota tucked nicely with Tein springs. The 18″ Grid wheels with an orange stripe tie the wheels to the car. Under the hood you will find Megan Racing’s down pipe and HKS up pipe. The exhaust is finished off with Invidia’s N1 Catless exhaust. Now typically, these exhaust mods would go to waste, but Christian has added a top mount intercooler, Walbro 255 fuel pump and finished off with a Stage 2 Protune at 18PSI.

All these parts and more can be found right here at Vivid Racing.

Subaru’s WRX STI spec C hits the streets…but only in Japan.   The spec C model is lighter and has a few engine enhancements to separate it from regular STIs. The ECU has been retuned and the turbocharger has new ball and axle bearings. Oil flow volume to the power steering system is up, lending the spec C a firmer steering feel, according to Subaru. The rear LSD has been changed to a mechanical type to enhance cornering.

Front and rear suspensions have been tweaked and Subaru says body rigidity is improved, too. Plenty of measures have been taken to reduce weight, starting with an aluminum hood. A smaller battery, laminar windows, and a flat tire repair kit replacing the spare tire help reduce weight an unspecified amount.

The 18-inch wheels are standard, but 17-inchers are available. Regardless of which wheels you choose, only 900 are available. Sunrise Yellow and Pure White are exclusive to this model, though you can also get it in blue. Gold-colored Brembo brake calipers are part of the package.

For those in the USA that can’t get a Spec C, I guess you will have to beef up your STI from our Performance Subaru Parts Store.
