Subaru Legacy Turbo 4WD: How it REALLY is the Impreza's mother? (ENG.SUBS)| Ciccio Carleo Automobili

A car that in the early 90s was seen as a strange Martian spacecraft ready to tow Lancia and Toyota in a long sweat in rallies. However, it wasn’t just a car that had to take Subaru to the top in rallies. But to impose the brand on the world automotive scene. It is not the most winning Subaru. But she who made possible the thought of starting to win. Win in more "categories". From American families to Group A, up to demanding customers and many private drivers, who could configure a super extreme Legacy RS (to be used on the track or on the rally track). Thanks to those first accessories provided by STi, for the newborn 2.0L Turbo 16V boxer engine of the series EJ and for all the new setup of the car.
McRae first of all, of course, but we must also remember the veteran Possum Bourne, already engaged in the 80s with the Leone RX in various rally raids, the promising Richard Burns and our fast Piero Liatti. Up to all the sensitive and meticulous test drivers of the "Land of the Rising Sun".
This legendary and sleeper Japanese car was for Fuji Heavy Industries a synthesis of years of research, results, failures, experiments. But above all she managed to realize a new great challenge. Create an advanced supercharged sedan with permanent four-wheel drive, sophistically complete but sinuously minimal... who did not fear any rival. To be driven nonchalantly in tight curves, slippery, off-road, uphill or snow. Farewell to retractable lighthouses, electropneumatic suspensions and selectable 4WD adopted by the Subaru Leone. Still inside the flat four engine solution with a new full-time 4WD drivetrain layout. And with all the other features that have always made a Subaru... a Subaru. From the robustness of the transmissions to the windows without pillars, passing through the hill-holder device (launched already in 1980).
And thanks to that sweat bath, the foundation was laid to give birth to that Subaru which crystallized the Myth of the Pleiades on 4 wheels: from the Impreza to WRX.
Here we are in the high technological class of Shibuya, which after over 30 years and the end of its Era, the Hesei period, continues to surprise and do school. Not just about rallying.

L’aspettavo questo video, questa macchinina l’ho snobbata per anni,sino a quel momento che un amico me la fece provare; rimasi affascinato,il tempo passa e feci la mia cavolata; un conoscente mi propose di ritirare gratis la sua Legacy TW 2.0 turbo bordeaux,la tenni circa un mese causa un tamponamento alla mia Passat,essendo poco intelligente (sig!..) le preferii un’altra station…mai l’avessi fatto ,me ne pento ancora oggi, ora possiedo una Legacy 2.0 R ma non è la stessa cosa! Questa è una tigre travestita da agnello ,una delle migliori auto mai provata!

Great video! I strongly support the ItalDesign speculation. Gingo Gojo is true Subarist.
