USA, not so much. 304hp, 311 ft.lbs, ball bearing turbo, IC water spray, and lightened panels, battery, air compressor instead of spare. Too bad it still looks like Quasimodo.

camber Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/07/7656047.jpg We can probably use the spec. C battery in the bl/bp as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

camber Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 It's interesting that Subaru hasn't adopted some advancements from the 2010 LGT to its top of the line performance car. I guess its still good they are developing parts that will easily swap over to the bl/bp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IwannaSportSedan Posted July 24, 2009 Author Share Posted July 24, 2009 What could they adapt? The '10 Legacy GT doesn't have a track record yet. The front mounted turbo and revised engine subframe arrangement would require major structural changes. The GR Impreza is basically a BL Legacy, chassis wise, from the rear axle forward.

camber Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 The front mounted turbo setup has already been used on the bl/bp platform. It was on the diesel version of the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

camber Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Not exactly, the turbo is on the side on the diesel engine. True enough... It's not exaclty the same setup as the 2010 LGT but the concept/idea is more or less the same. I guess you can say that 2010 LGT most interesting piece orginated from the bl/bp.
