At the annual SEMA show in Las Vegas, Subaru took to the stage with a wild concept created in parternship with Vermont SportsCar: The TRAX STI, which features Mattracks rubber tracks.
Designed to be the ultimate accessory for a snowboarder – and his friends – the concept also comes with a matching “sleigh” capable of hauling four friends in seat-heated, open-air comfort.
The concept car, based on a WRX STI, pumps out about 400 horsepower and 400 lb-ft. of torque. A number of upgrades helped prepare it for more serious use. Vermont SportsCar added a custom FIA-spec roll cage, Recaro seats and STI Group N Gravel Rally Brakes. The powertrain was dropped three inches to accommodate the tracks system.
Don’t expect the TRAX STI to make production, of course.
