Subaru Legacy Facelift Renderings

In one of its latest issues, Japanese car magazine “CarTop” revealed a couple of artist renderings that attempt to show us what the revised Subaru Legacy might look like. CarTop’s take on the facelift Legacy includes a new set of lights and a revised grille up front combined with minor changes to the rear and most importantly, an Audi-like waist-line and pop-out door handles. If CarTop’s renderings turn out to be true, we’ll have yet another Legacy that will be as interesting as watching two flies make out on a hot summer night. -One more pic after the jump

Subaru Legacy STI “S402” Limited Edition With 282Hp 2.5 Turbo

Subaru will extend its “STI” offerings in its home market with the introduction of the limited edition Legacy STI S402 Sedan and Touring models that will be available for sale in Japan from June 27. The S402 Legacy STIs are equipped with the same 2.5-liter turbocharged boxer engine as the US and European Impreza STIs, but in this case, output is restricted to 282Hp at 5,600 rpm and torque to 392 Nm (available between 2,000 and 4,800 rpm). Power is delivered to the wheels via a six-speed manual gearbox.

Other mechanical upgrades include a sport suspension, revised steering system (13:1 ratgio) and more powerful six-pot front and two-pot rear Brembo brakes. Apart from the subtle STi bodykit that includes a carbon-fiber front spoiler, the S402 Legacys feature wider fenders (+20mm) that host a set of beautiful 18-inch BBS alloys wheels wrapped in Bridgestone Potenza RE050A tires (235/40R18). Inside the most prominent features are the leather front bucket seats, the MOMO steering wheel and the “S402” plates. -Image Gallery after the jump

Subaru Dealer Creates “See-Through” Legacy Outback

A creative Subaru dealer in Carlisle, UK has come up with an imaginative idea to promote the Japanese carmaker’s all-new boxer diesel versions of the Legacy. The dealer wrapped a diesel-powered Legacy Outback with a vinyl wrap meticulously replicating the car’s “infrastructure” thus making it appear as if some parts are made from see-through glass.

In particular, the dealer wrapped the hood to illustrate every engine detail along with the side of the car which shows the engine plus Subaru’s symmetrical all-wheel drive system and even the exhaust silencer. We don’t know about the side wrap, but we could definitely see the “engine wrap” becoming a hit among Subaru enthusiasts.
