Subaru Blitzen..

Can anyone tell me about the subaru blitzen?
Ive been lead to believe there are only 5 in newzealand and that apparently they have an engine that was designed by porshe?
Would anyone be able to tell me a little more about this

I think the 5 thing is a load of crap. My friend has one and I see another on the way to work everyday.

As far as I know they were styled by Porsche but have the same engine as the RSKB4.

I assume you are meaning this model and not the new blitzen due out very soon.

LOL!!!

Theres a LOT more than 5 in NZ mate, you've been fed porkies!

5 were officially sold in NZ, many more were brought in as secondhand imports.

is the old model blitzen just the STI version of the legacy??

Yea thats the one, I found it pretty hard to believe there were only 5 in the country.
So are these basically a stock motor with exterior changes?

i think they are all limited to 206KW...

You don't need to think about that it use to be Jap law

yeah but since i dont really know what im talking about, it gives me some lee-way if im wrong

Auto versions are limited to 191kw

They're an RSK B4 with a porsche-designed bodykit, wheels and interior..... no more, no less. Mechanically IDENTICAL to a standard subie

and they're common as muck these days.
