Hopelijk verandert er nog het een en het ander, een beetje teveel de Alfa neus. Maar deB11 werd ook ontworpen door ex-ontwerper van Alfa dacht ik, dus nogal logisch

PlayStation 2 game software WRC 3
16 July 2004
On 27 May the Sony Playstation game 'WRC 3' went on sale in Japan. Already available in Europe, the realistic game gives players the chance to re visit the 2003 WRC season, which saw Subaru World Rally Team driver Petter Solberg become World Champion. Including breathtaking speeds and non-stop action, the game enables fans to play as any of the sport's leading drivers, all of whom have perfectly recreated in the game along with their co-drivers.
The game also includes a hidden 'Bonus Stage', which can only be accessed by players that achieve a high score. Featuring a bonus 'Subaru Extreme' car that was designed by real-life Subaru designer Daisuke Tokanou, the feature includes expertise from a man who actually designs Subaru road cars. We visited Daisuke at the Fuji Heavy Industries offices in Mitaka City, Japan to find out more.
Q: Hi Daisuke, what is your actual job when you're not designing cars for the WRC 3 game?
A: "I work in the design department of Fuji Heavy Industries where we concentrate on the future design of prospective Subaru projects. We study concepts for future cars, visualize them in sketches and from that produce scaled models, followed by full-size clay models. It's very exciting."
Q: How did you come to design the Subaru 'Bonus Car' for the WRC 3 game?
A: "Some of us in the team joined a competition, after the chief designer Andreas Zapatinas asked us if we would like to take part. That's how it all started. I love playing racing games on the PS2, and thought that the chance to design a car for the WRC 3 game looked a great opportunity There were?four or five entries and I won! I was very happy."
Q: What was the concept and character of the design?
A: "The interior was the same as the current Impreza Production car, but I changed the front, rear and side view to make the car look more dramatic. It was for a game, but I didn't want to deviate too much from the Subaru design concept. The front started from the concept car B11S that was introduced at the Geneva Motor Show last year, while I wanted the overall concept of the design to express the power and speed of the World Rally Car."
Q: Was there any advice from Mr. Zapatinas?
A: "He liked my initial drawing and pretty much left me to do as I wished. He offered some ideas, like lowering the engine hood, but was supportive of my design overall. He grew up in Greece watching the Acropolis Rally and is a true motorsport fan - in fact we all are here. I was so excited to meet previous Subaru driver Tommi Mäkinen and Petter Solberg when they visited Fuji Heavy Industries last year. I was designing the car for the game dreaming that Petter would be driving it one day, so I was very excited to see him in person."
Q: What was the most difficult part?
A: "I was able to design freely, but the process of making it 3 dimensional was done by the PS2 design staff at Sony Europe and communicating with them was difficult. As English is not my first language, things such as the Subaru spirit, the concept of the new design and how it should represented in 3-D was sometimes difficult to convey."
Q: What would you like to say to the players?
A: "Enjoy driving the car in the game! Young kids don't have driving licenses, but it would be my greatest joy if the thrill of driving a Subaru in the game made them feel that they would want to drive a real Subaru someday."

Subaru in de F1
Giancarlo Fisichella and Felipe Massa go for SUBARU
General News
13 July 2004
The two SAUBER PETRONAS drivers, Giancarlo Fisichella and Felipe Massa, love SUBARU: while the Brazilian has driven an IMPREZA WRX STi off the circuit from the start of the season, his Italian team-mate goes around with a Legacy Wagon 3.0R. Those two cars were made available by the Groupe Emile Frey that operates SUBARU Switzerland, and partner for the SAUBER PETRONAS team for the past seven years.
For the family man Fisichella, the Legacy Wagon 3.0R is the ideal car: "with my two children, I need a lot of space and flexibility. The Legacy station wagon offers both, together with a comprehensive equipment package and a powerful engine, which makes driving a real pleasure". The Legacy Wagon 3.0R is fitted with a 245-hp three-litre Boxer engine, transmitting its power to all four wheels by a five-speed automatic gearbox. The equipment package includes a navigation system, cruise control, six airbags, ABS, dynamics control, leather outfits, an electric sunroof and an automatic climate control.
Felipe Massa especially values the sporty side. The two-litre turbocharged engine of his IMPREZA WRX STi develops a powerful 265 hp and accelerates the compact saloon from 0 to 100km/h in only 5.5 seconds. A close-ratio six-speed sporty gearbox and AWD with two Suretrac differentials guarantee an optimum power transmission on the road. And Massa, who likes to brake preferably at the last minute, doesn t need to be nervous even before tricky curves: larger Brembo brakes and the Sport ABS system enable an effective speed reduction. The leather equipment with the embroidered Sauber logo and a carbon plate with Peter Sauber's signature create a special atmosphere inside. "SUBARU IMPREZA WRX STi gives a lot of pleasure. The car offers sheer power, excellent brakes and a very sporty suspension" says Massa of his WRX STi.
The partnership between SAUBER PETRONAS and the Groupe Emil Frey has a long tradition as it is now going into its eighth year. EFAG provides the Swiss team with a fleet of cars meeting the high requirements of Formula 1 drivers.
