This Rally Subaru Makes us Miss Winter!

Subaru WRX STI Wheels and Tires ice Rally

Speeding through the snow with those wheels and tires!

When winter is here, we’ll curse and wish that it ends as fast as possible. Let’s face it, most of the time, driving in the snow absolutely sucks. Other people don’t know how to drive and you’re left trying to avoid slipping and being hit by idiots who probably aren’t using the right wheels and tires. But, when it’s gone, we yearn for all of those missed opportunities to slide sideways and drift.

This Subaru WRX STI drifting and sliding about in the snow and ice on a track in Italy has us wanting to enjoy the powdery white stuff just one more time.

This footage comes from The Ice Challenge 2018 in Livigno, Italy all the way back in January. There’s a lot to like about this buy-eyed monster as it slices through snow and ice with its studded wheels and tires. First off, the EJ20 boxer engine has been outfitted with a new Garrett GTX 3071 turbocharger, forged pistons, and a long list of other mechanical components. That equates to a whopping 420 horsepower and is more than enough to go anywhere quickly.

This icy track is not for the faint-hearted either. There’s quite a bit of bumps, jumps, twists, and turns that push the limits of the driver and their wheels and tires as they struggle for grip. Having all-wheel drive and a 420-horsepower turbocharged engine doesn’t hurt, either.

Only seven more months until winter!
