Ah, endlich gibt es auch mal mehr Informationen zu dem Type RA, vielleicht hat man da ja auch noch was gedreht, nachdem das erste Feedback auf den Wagen (zumindest bei Facebook) sehr negativ war.
Dort war nämlich lediglich von kosmetischen Änderungen die Rede, welche dann, verständlicherweise negatives Feedback ergaben.
"In keeping with this tradition, the 2018 WRX STI Type RA delivers:
- increased performance through weight reduction
- suspension and engine upgrades.
- carbon fiber roof panel
- removal of the spare tire
- carbon fiber pedestal wing
- lightweight BBS® 19-in. forged alloy wheels shod with 245/35R19 Yokohama Advan Sports tires.
- 2.5-liter turbocharged BOXER engine (310hp with the help of an STI-specified new cold air intake and high flow performance exhaust)
- Retuned ECU and stronger pistons also contribute to the increased engine performance.
- six-speed transmission features a revised 3rd gear ratio paired with a short throw shifter.
- inverted front struts and rear double wishbone suspension all with Bilstein® dampers.
- modified multi-mode VDC gives the car better stability control to keep it on its intended path.

6-piston front calipers and dual-piston rear calipers (exclusive silver finish and is paired with cross-drilled rotors for better heat dissipation)

- Push-button start with Keyless Access is also standard equipment.
Each of the 500 WRX STI Type RA produced for retail sale has been individually numbered with a plaque mounted on the center console"
Liest sich ja sehr nett. Dank 2.5l Motor dürfte der theoretisch auch in Deutschland fahren
BTT:
Der Rekord zählt trotzdem nicht.
Warum?
Anerkannt werden idR nur Rekorde die mit Serienautos OHNE große Modifikationen gefahren werden.
Der Honda Civic Type R zB hatte bei seinem Rekord zB das Radio ausgebaut, ansonsten aber weitgehend Original. Sitzbank etc war auch noch drin.
