Description
- This was the Manufacturers’ Cup-winning car of the 2020 season of the FIA-Certified Gran Turismo Championships.
- The livery of the car is based on Subaru WRX STI NBR Challenge cars that participate in 24 Hours of N?rburgring, as well as the Subaru BRZ in Super GT’s GT300 class, specifically the liveries both cars used between 2015 and 2019. The car’s alternate livery in GT7 is based on the 2020-spec WRX STI NBR/BRZ GT300 liveries.
- In an early screenshot of GT Sport, the car used a plain WR Blue Pearl color with same sponsors. In addition, the car’s roof is the same as the rest of the body rather than chrome. The version of the car shown at E3 2016 gameplay trailer features a similar sponsor decal placement as the plain color livery, but with a livery similar to the final car, except for lack of chrome roof.
- Both versions of the car carry Dunlop sponsorship and blank tire stickers (which was replaced by Falken for the final game) and different rims.
- The car’s body shape appears to be influenced from the Legacy B4 GT300, which competed in Super GT by R&D Sport from 2009 to 2012. This is also partly due to the car’s wide body being similar to the?Gr.B version?of the car.
- The car uses BBS RE-CL wheels, a wheel available in the?Livery Editor.
- There is an error on the web site URL on the car’s upper door frame area, which is “www.subaru-msn.com”; the correct URL is “www.subaru-msm.com”. This error was corrected in the alternate livery.
- The #88 variation livery has its own paint chip named WRX Gr.3 FIA GTC Blue, purchasable from?GT Auto. This was renamed to WRX Gr.3 GTC Blue in version 1.15, as the FIA partnership for the Gran Turismo World Series was suspended for the first year of GT7.
- There is a wrench taped to the battery box in the passenger floorboard.
