Custom 2020 Subaru WRX STI

Custom 2020 Subaru WRX STI Series White

 

Hoonigan Gymkhana Series WRX

 

This 2020 Subaru WRX STi was modified by Vermont SportsCar in late 2020 for use as a partner car in the eleventh installment of the Hoonigan Gymkhana series featuring driver Travis Pastrana. The car is finished in white with custom gray check "199" livery, and power is from a turbocharged 2.5-liter flat-four that drives all four wheels via a six-speed manual gearbox and an adjustable center differential. Modifications include a carbon-fiber rear wing, hood vents, yellow 18" Method 502 Rally wheels, a VSC 3" cat-back exhaust system, Group N powertrain mounts, Reiger coilovers, adjustable sway bars, blue brake calipers, a hydraulic handbrake, and Alcantara interior accents. This modified STi appeared on a forklift in a segment of the video and was concurrently featured in a 2020 Omaze charity fundraising sweepstakes, following which the winner chose a cash alternative instead of the car. It has 300 miles and is offered by Carter Subaru with owner's literature, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Vermont title.

Additional exterior modifications include a chin spoiler, front and rear canards, a rear diffuser, mud flaps, and yellow headlight lenses. The mirror housings are covered in the coat of arms of Pastrana's home state of Maryland, while his number 199 is featured at the left front and right rear.
