Subaru has unveiled the special edition Japanese domestic market (JDM) Subaru Legacy 2.5GT tS, otherwise known as the ‘Tuned by STI’ version. Available in both sedan and touring wagon form, the Subaru Legacy 2.5GT tS models boast a raft of performance enhancements sourced from the Subaru Technica International (STI) parts catalogue.

From what we can interpret from the Japanese press release, the STI upgrades are limited to exterior and suspension enhancements with the 2,5-litre flat-four turbo engine left untouched. The usual Tuned By STI enhancements have been added including new STI 18-inch wheels shod in 225/45 R18 rubber, STI sports muffler and front and rear STI lip spoilers with a roof spoiler for the Touring wagon. Improvements to the suspension include front and rear STI strut tower braces, inverted type STI struts with matching STI coil springs along with unique STI damper tuning.

Inside the tS models boast unique Alcantara and leather front seats with ten-way adjustment, an STI instrument cluster with 260 km/h speedo reading, leather steering wheel and gear knob with contrasting red stitching, decorative highlights with a titanium carbon finish and Alcantara door trim.

Only 600 examples of the Subaru Legacy Touring Wagon 2.5GT tS and Subaru Legacy B4 2.5GT tS will be available in Japan from November 2010.

Password JDM are a company who specialise in carbon and kevlar composite parts for Honda’s and Nissan’s, but they’re not only limited to that. Utilising their same experiences and technologies, they established Tecnocraft, a division of Password JDM responsible for the development and manufacture of composite parts that cater to high-end cars such as Lamborghini’s.

Their current demo car is a Lamborghini Gallardo that has been entirely carbonised with their extensive line of products for the car. In the engine bay, the hatch assembly, panels, and intake assembly are all replaced by dry carbon parts. The hood and inner hood bin are constructed out of dry carbon as well. The car is equipped with dry carbon front splitter, underbody panels, diffuser, and adjustable wing assembly to provide additionally stability at high speeds. As a result, the Gallardo was able to shed roughly 158 kg’s to make it even lighter than the Superleggera by 58 kg’s. That is very impressive to say the least – we’ll take one!
