Subaru Takumi Concept Previews New Impreza WRX STi Spec C

This version of the Subaru Impreza WRX STi, known as the Takumi concept, gives us a hint of what's in store for the upcoming Spec C hardcore version. Visually, there's not much to distinguish this car from a normal STi besides the 12-spoke rims, though it's said the production Spec C will feature subtle body tweaks including a roof scoop. Rest assured, the important changes are under the skin, with beefed-up drivetrain components, springs, shocks and other suspension bits. No word on exactly how much power this hardened version will make, but it's sure to be a much more focused driver's car no matter what. Of course, if even the standard STi feels like overkill to you, there's always the newly improved 2009 Impreza WRX.

Whenever Davey G gets into whichever high-powered, oh-so precise German engineering testament I happen to be driving, we always have a good laugh, musically speaking. Whether we're blasting the Minutemen while driving past D Boon and Bukowski's graves in a $130,000 AC Schnitzer thinking of ways to get Watt in a Bentely, or shouting along to Black Flag's White Minority in the RS4 high above it all in Pacific Palisades, we know we are complete and total corndogs. And while we can't agree on where a hatchback ends and a sport wagon begins, we both agree that Paul Rachman's new film effing Rawks! [Thanks to XL Perro for the tip] – Loverman
