Subaru was able to accomplish this feat by building the WRX STI Type RA NBR Special, a time attack monster set up for the grueling 12.8-mile circuit. The 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbocharged Boxer engine is up on power—300 extra horsepower to be exact—thanks to a fully built motor from Prodrive and a turbo that runs a staggering 25 psi of boost.
The motor is also able to rev to a preposterous 8,500 rpm redline. The purpose-built race car features a WRX gearbox, heavily redesigned aerodynamics including a rear wing with a drag reduction system, and a full roll cage for added strength and stiffness.
