Subaru is aiming for a N rburgring lap record. Though quite what it needs to do to break that record is up for debate. Subaru says it wants the "new lap record for a four-door sedan"; we say they"re using a flipping racecar without stickers.The four-door production saloon record is held by the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio with a 7m 32s lap. For a circa-300bhp WRX STi to topple a 503bhp, Ferrari-tweaked saloon seems a very tall order.Which is probably why Subaru has thrown the word production" to the wind with its WRX STi Type RA NBR Special. It has stripped the interior of its STi to the very bare bones, then giving it the kind of diffuser that could shovel a hole to the centre of Earth if you fixed it to a digger. The adjustable rear wing needs to be seen to be believed, too.
