takumi-6 Subaru Takumi Concept: Spec C In STI Clothing

Subaru recently unveiled this concept at the Motorsport Japan 2008 event in Tokyo. While the car looks just like a plain old WRX to the untrained eye, STI has had its way with the hottie hatch, reworking the car’s drivetrain, springs, shocks and even adding a few aero touches here and there. Not convinced what you see before you shares any blood with the do-all-to-end-all ‘Rex? The fine folks at MotorAuthority says the proof is all over this ride. Check out those 12-inch rims. They’re awfully close to the rollers we’ve seen buzzing around Nurburgring recently. It’s possible the Takumi Concept is our first glimpse at the light-weight Spec C. The production version will probably see all kinds of tricks to inspire Pep-Boys tuners out there, including a rally-bred roof-scoop and gold alloy wheels. Just remember kiddies, what looks good on the WRX won’t on your Accord. Trust us. [MotorAuthority]
