2017 Subaru STI WRX S4 TS: pena que é exclusivo para o mercado japonês

É até difícil entender como carros tão interessantes ficam restritos ao mercado japonês, um país de dimensões pequenas.

Este Subaru de 305 hp, tem motor de 2.5l,  motor boxer turbinado. O carro recebeu rodas de 19 polegadas e vem calçado com pneus 255/35R19 92Y Dunlop Sport Maxx RT.

O câmbio é um CVT, por incrível que possa parecer. Mas eu acho que representa a confiabilidade e simplicidade deste tipo de câmbio.

custa aproximadamente US$50.000, de acordo com a volatilidade do yene japonês em relação ao dólar americano..
