2009 Subaru Legacy B4 GT300
The Subaru Legacy B4 GT300 is receiving the Super GT treatment with the help of Subaru Tecnica International, i.e. STI. Campaigned by R&D Sport, who previously ran a Vemac 408R, the Subaru Legacy is built for the GT300 class. Super GT racing is made up of two classes, GT300 and GT500, with the former being the lower tier class. The biggest difference between the two classes is horsepower. GT300 is limited to roughly 300hp and GT500 to 500hp. Both classes run on track at the same time, leading to some interesting passes and in-class battles. The Legacy driver line-up consists of Tetsuya Yamano and Shogo Mitsuyama.
This GT300 Subaru Legacy B4 is completely reworked as you can see. The carbon fiber body is chopped and sculpted for aerodynamics and body has been widened to cover the huge Yokohama Advan slicks. The Subaru Legacy B4 GT300 also uses a completely different suspension design, but the Subaru is still all-wheel drive and turbocharged. STI themselves are handling the engine tuning, as all Super GT engines are only leased out, and R&D Sport is fully running the team operation. STI only lists the engine as a “horizontally-opposed engine supplied by Fuji Heavy Industries” and the drivetrain as “Symmetrical AWD”.The Subaru Legacy B4 GT300 features a 2.0-liter turbocharged boxer-four that pumps out more than 300 horsepower. With all-wheel drive, a six-speed sequential transmission, and a curb weight of just over 2800 pounds, we imagine it’s an absolute blast to pilot around the track.
