The subaru commodity plan headquarters/project general manager/Mori Hiroshi

WRC which fights furiously on the `public road of the world'. Being conscious of the WRC strongly, in presser WRXSTI which is born, 3rd generation debuts more and more. The WR car which designates the first generation as the base 3 year continual [manihuakuchiyarazuchiyanpion] (1995~97 year) shone with WRC, the marketing model of the tip generation in presser the 2L turbo achieved the heroic deed that the WR car which designates tip generation as the base total 2 dry burr champions (2003 2005) in addition to the result which is acquired, in it cuts 8 minutes with north course of [niyuruburukurinku], the mass production car reached the point where it is recognized from in the world as sou pass Potts of the highest peak. Because of that expectation and attention have gotten together from in the world whether the New in presser of 3rd generation evolved some extent. How you catch the heavy responsibility, whether some kind of thinking is included in New in presser WRX STI, Mori Hiroshi will PGM (the project general manager) you talk.

Because “in presser WRXSTI is the flagship model of the Subaru running, speed feeling good quality of running, most it seriously considered these 2 points after all and it designated that one ranking and two ranking level up as goal from the tip generation model. On the other hand, whenever model change and annual improvement are repeated, the maniac also the fact that the character, car gradually strengthens is fact. Then with this New in presser WRXSTI, it took a second look former concept from zero, it had decided to re-construct sou pass Potts's to whom tip Subaru proposes from now on [katachi]. While such as that, the fact that we adhered decisively is material feeling of running. Until recently, performance is the case that it has become sufficient ones, but when you see from the eye of today, in the point, material feeling of running also the part where it is not enough a little is visible. In the customer who loves running especially, you catch very much favorably in the meaning being agreeable, that real competition, but this time that also material feeling, and riding taste of the further running and the interior sound whose feeling is good probably will be included in addition to that, it tackled with development staff everyone.”
When the interior sound whose material feeling and feeling are good you hear, perhaps it receives the kind of impression where the part in angle in the good sense that in presser had has become round. But the successive in presser chased after, “it is faster than everyone, as for the riding taste that the car moves to while at the same time it is mind of the driver”, as for also the New in presser being first priority it does not change.
The chassis concept whose Subaru which is adopted from the New in presser is new, also SI-[SHIYASHI] just, “the pleasure which is worked while it is mind it does” and with method of thinking of saying becomes the cause, the running where Subaru is new future is symbolized.


“The fact that it is most important with the car making is the packaging. Car original performance can make the basic chassis which can control the tire securely securely, whether or not with 7~8 percentage is decided. Subaru individual symmetrical AWD has done the identity which is superior very much even at this point in time, but double wishbone suspension of new development is adopted on the rear in addition to that. Road holding efficiency rapidly became high now. When if anything until now, unless the underside is set in [gachigachi], it was in the tendency which cannot show the performance of the tire, but stroke point to the suspension pliantly, it is to reach the point where it can do the setting which performance of the tire the maximum is pulled out. With these improvements as for material feeling of running the extent that it evolved it is dramatic. In addition, while shortening the front and back overhang, the wheel base, it expands tread, it actualizes the dimension where balance of handling and stability becomes optimum as a sport model.”


Being pliant, flat the handling which reacts faithfully to riding comfort and operation. You can call the riding taste which is produced on the basis of the method of thinking SI-[SHIYASHI], paradigm shift just. And such with respect to the basis which is superior, at Subaru DCCD (the dry burr control center diff.) and VDC (vehicle dynamics control) with the electronic device which does not have strange feeling with natural you said is adopted. Because intention of the driver and making the movement of the car align at high dimension can do also DCCD+VDC and the like which adds multiple modal control, although being AWD, the driver does not feel stress and feeling can run well. Furthermore the popular SI-DRIVE system joins, has been compatible the sharp response and riding taste, and environmental efficiency.
“New in presser WRXSTI altogether there is no compromise in the point, faithful response and traction, and the stability for operation. On that, the instant which sits down first in the cockpit, to start running the kind of atmosphere which stops wanting even directly was created. And the instant which which it starts running, being fast, you did not become tired, the framework framework did, rode at anything time and in order to become greatly, you enhanced running at the various places including [niyuruburukurinku]. Actually riding this car, if it can receive, as for the driver of course [patsunsenjiya], you think that we propose new Subaru philosophy, material feeling of running, furthermore can understand driving pleasure instantaneously. Because is, to grasp the steering wheel of one time New in presser WRX STI by all means, we want realizing that, the shank.”
In presser WRX STI which is born anew and changes. You propose the birth of this car, you can call Subaru [katachi] of new AWD sport.
