Subaru WRX STI TRAX hits the backcountry

 

We've seen this approach to Arctic off-roading at a concept level, but this snow-eating Subaru WRX STI is most definitely for real. The 400bhp TRAX was built by Subaru Rally Team USA's technical partner, Vermont SportsCar from a rally-prepared 2009 WRX ST. EXE-TC Group N competition rally dampers were added, the drivetrain lowered three inches and the wheels tossed in favor of a Mattracks rubber track system.

Better get one quick, with global warming there won't be any snow to play in a few years from now! Actually the track things that replace the wheels and tires have been around a long time. I almost bought some for my old jeep about 30 years ago. I wanted to use them in sand not snow. They were rated for both.
