If the number of letters in its name is at
all proportionate with its level of
improvements, the 2010 Subaru Impreza WRX STI
Spec C should be quite the hatchback. Spotted
for the first time lapping the Nürburgring
recently, this super STI has a number of
upgrades designed to sharpen the performance
of the standard model.
According to sources in Japan, this STI's
ride height has been lowered by 0.5 inch and
fitted with stiffer dampers and springs. The
lightweight 18-inch wheels are wrapped in
Bridgestone run-flat tires, while the brakes
have been upgraded with the six-piston
calipers from the Subaru Legacy STi S402.
Finally, the engineers in Subaru City have
tweaked the turbocharger and exhaust system
of the turbocharged 2.0-liter boxer engine to
generate beefier torque at lower revs and
lift power from 300 horsepower to around 320
hp. Gear ratios have also been revised, with
1st through 4th gears positioned closer
together while 5th and 6th gear have been
made taller to enhance top-end speed, as the
Spec C is expected to clear 165 mph.
With the performance hardware of the Spec C
out of the way, the design team turned to
aerodynamics in order to add a little free
horsepower.
One source close to the project tells us that
in addition to giving the Spec C a fully flat
underbody, the Subaru engineers have also
fitted a lightweight aluminum rear diffuser
that helps generate twice as much downforce
at speed than the current body.
No 'Ring lap times are available yet, but our
snapper in Germany confirms that the Spec C
appeared more composed through low- and
high-speed corners and could easily slice 15
seconds off the current STI's time.
Expected to go on sale in Japan by year's end
and then in Europe and possibly in the U.S.
by mid-2009, the Spec C could have a price
tag of around $43,000.

This video was done on no budget. The song
BITTERSWEET was released as a bonus track on
Kanye West's "GRADUATION".
This is an noncommissioned music video. This
video was done independently of the artists.
The theme of, "the pain caused by a love gone
wrong" is a universal topic. Kanye's
BITTERSWEET takes you on a trip to both sides
of the story at their emotional peak.
Special thanks to Indie Rentals and all our
locations.

The Nuerburgring Edition GT-R
The remarkable difference between the
standard RB26DETT engine and this special
engine is material of the turbochargers.Nür.
edition uses N1-based roller bearing metal
turbochargers instead of the standard ceramic
turbochargers.This turbocharger provides
remarkable performance at high revs compared
with standard turbochargers.Further, Nür.
edition has N1-based reinforced engine block,
N1 based reinforced piston and con-rods,
N1-based piston rings, N1-based oil pump,
N1-based water pump, N1-based exhaust
manifold and N1-based reinforced intercooler
rubber hose.Furthermore, this engine is hand
made at the Nissan racing engine
division(NISSAN KOHKI), and they use balanced
pistons, conrods and crankshaft.It is very
similar scheme to making racing engine.
Nür. edition has not only exclusive engine
but also several exclusive equipment.
At first, Nür. edition has 300km/h
full-scaled speedos. Nissan used the same
speedos during the test in Nurburgring.
The exclusive emblem is given for Nür.
edition.
The standard emblem is just sticker, but this
Nür. emblem is 3d cast.
Further, Nür. edition has gold coloured VIN
plate instead of standard blue plate. M-spec
Nür. has several different equipment from
V-specII Nür.
2002.02 : As the final limited-production
series of the R34 Skyline GT-R, the Nür.
series was introduced in Japan. The feature
of the GT-R Nür. is a highly accurate engine
which improved the weight balance such as
pistons and con-rods which are the main parts
of the engine based on the N1 specification
engine installed in the Nurburgring 24 hour
race and a domestic Super Taikyu race.
Marking the end of the R34 GT-R, is the 2002
Skyline Nür. The name stands for
Nürburging, which hints at the car's racing
pedigree.
It's the engine sets the Nür apart from any
other Skyline. It is based on the N1 racing
unit which has a specifically prepared block,
pistons and connecting rods. Unrestricted,
the N1 engine will push 450 BHP. With a
little tuning, the engine could far exceed
that. To meet legal regulations, Nissan has
restricted and rated the car to 340 BHP.
900 of these specially prepared skylines will
be offered, all of which have been
pre-purchased. Good to see the last of the
mighty R34's go out in style.
GTR NUR spec and M-spec the options they came
with. The GTR M-spec were the final run of
the current style of GTR'sOnly 900 were made
the engine has the capacity to produce 330kw
or 450 ps in stock guise. Their prices are
much higher second hand and new because of
the exclusivity. They are beautifully
finished in a striking bronze with a rich
leather interior.
In February 2002, Nissan released a limited
edition car called "Nür", named after the
Nurburgring circuit, and equipped with an N1
racing specification engine. 900 units of the
"Nür" were produced in all. Marketed as the
last GT-R to equip a straight 6 engine, all
900 were sold-out in one day, attesting to
its incredible popularity. The new 2000 gas
regulation forced Nissan to end production of
the GT-r in August 2002, however the glory of
this ultimate sports car lives on.
