Rally racing has always carried a certain mystique — dirt-spraying drifts, high-revving engines, and fearless drivers threading cars through forests and over gravel at speeds that feel almost impossible.

We’ve bemoaned the refreshed 2025 Subaru Forester for its lack of vitality, but that was before we had a chance to drive something that’s never before existed: the Subaru Forester Hybrid. This changes more than you’d think. Yes, there’s a bump in fuel economy: from 28 mpg combined (with 19-inch wheels) or 29 mpg (with 17- or 18-inchers) for the regular Forester to 35 mpg combined for the hybrid. And for some people that’d be… Read More →

Not so long ago, resto-mods were almost exclusively reserved for big dollar classics and vintage supercars. But exclusivity no more, just in the last couple of years we’ve seen the JDM space sprout a few of its own resto-mods; the Built By Legends GTR’s and TOM’s Supra just to name a few. That’s where the Prodrive P25 comes in. However, there’s a considerable difference between the P25 and other existing resto-mods, and that is production… Read More →

As the creator of the famed Hoonigan and DC brands, he’s propelled alternative sports into the mainstream, even if he was constantly battling his fair share of criticism.

The Impreza has retained a strong following thanks to its WRX and STi variants, and several versions of the Legacy are revered by JDM enthusiasts. Subaru wasn’t all about its rally cars and sporty sedans and wagons back in the ’90s, though. Early on… Read More →

Growing up watching superstar drivers like Colin McRae and Ken Block piloting Subarus like bats out of hell, my fondness for the Subaru brand–and, more specifically, the legendary WRX–was formed at a young age. In high school, I once submitted a poetry assignment that detailed the romantic joy of sliding a Subaru around in the snow before I had even earned my driver’s license.
