STI-tuned Subaru Legacy B4 2.5GT tS expelled in Japan
We’ve grown utterly lustful of the long-term 2010 Subaru Legacy 2.5GT over a past couple of months, though we can’t assistance though be somewhat jealous of the STI-tuned Legacy that’s only been expelled in Japan. Subaru’s in-house tuning dialect has laid hands upon a new-for-2010 Legacy sedan (and a not-for-U.S. car to emanate a B4 2.5GT tS, that facilities the host of cosmetic as well as energetic enhancements, even yet a turbocharged 2.5-liter boxer stays unvaried.
Visually, a tS (which stands for “Tuned by STI”) gets the brand new front mouth spoiler, as well as the pointed deckled spoiler out behind (fixed to a roof upon car models). New 18-inch alloys wrapped in 225/45-series rubber lay at a corners and appropriate badging is practical all around. Inside, there’s a revised instrument cluster, competition seats, co trim, the leather-wrapped STI steering circle as well as, of march, STI branding on the shifter as well as building mats.
Where the tS gets great, however, is in the performance upgrades, that embody a competition empty system, the some-more strong Bilstein cessation, as well as brand new strut building bars. Because a turbocharged flat-four keeps the batch outlay – 265 horsepower as well as 258 pound-feet of torque – this hotted-up Legacy won’t be any quicker on a street. The alternative tweaks should have it even some-more staid during sporty pushing, yet.
While this might appear similar to just an additional luscious square of Forbidden Fruit, we’re sure that STI has upgrades for a U.S.-spec Legacy in the tube. (Please!) Scroll by a gallery below to see a Legacy tS’s upgrades in item.
