AWD Turbo Heaven! Subaru STI Headquarters in Japan = Imprezas Galore

For as much flak as they may get, Subaru’s legendary Impreza STI got the status it has today because of an incredibly rich racing history. And that history is celebrated BIG time at Subaru Japan’s new (open to the public!) STI museum. Don’t mind us as we ogle all of this incredible and historic blue and gold race machinery.

Oh myyy. This series is gettin better and better 😍😍

[@jamesmulholland1798]

“Absorb all the Irish sweat”. Both me and all my fellow Scots burst into an absolute rage at the casual disrespect on an absolute Scottish rally legend.

[@ZombieZim713]

you'll get over it.

[@ZombieZim713]

there was nothing disrespectful about it.

[@T1cksandLeeches]

@@ZombieZim713 The ignorance itself is disrespectful. You go fanboy over Subaru, but you go to the mecca and don't even know about the man who helped build the brand. This is the equivalent of calling one of the Japanese legends "Chinese". I'm pretty sure that would go down as disrespectful.

[@yourpoodlebobthefish]

seriously appreciate the rally content

[@MarkTheVanMan]

Hope you guys have enough episodes to keep us entertained through the quarantine weeks, because I am planning on surfing YT all day erry day 💩

[@superrad1659]

I swear autofocus has become one of my favorite channels through all of youtube! Thanks for taking us along on all your incredible voyages Larry!!!

[@michaell2059]

Thank you for all of the Japan content!! And thanks to the editor / meme lord for the humor.

[@vtecbobby]

All the Irish sweat... You guys know McRae was Scottish right?

[@hokimoki3677]

Mcrae was a maori bro!! Everyone knows that

[@SpektreProxy]

@@hokimoki3677 chur brada xD

I actually got to meet Petter a few times last year at Rally. Last time in LSPR I got an interview with him on my channel, what an icon. So rad to see his car their too.

[@qotsa1]

555 getting air equals automatic like

[@xevacafe8648]

My man living the dream. You're so lucky Larry

[@WarriorsPhoto]

Heaven on earth for sure. Thank you for sharing this location and video.

[@pkramer962]

All those knobs and dials are just so cool for some reason.

[@Jabber-ig3iw]

Prodrive never quite get the recognition they deserve for helping make the Impreza WRX the global phenomenon it is.

[@robertgalicia2818]

I'm a Car Designer for Subaru at the North American Design Studio. The STI Museum in Mitaka is super cool. Subaru's Tokyo Design Studio is also on the compound (but restricted to the public). The passion is inspiring!

[@goldtutch]

I like your channel as its about the people , not just the best cars but its about having any kind of car for fun because you like cars, and i agree with you weird cars are wonderful and its cool to have something different and a conversation piece.

[@matthewb9241]

Auto Focus has become my new favorite Hoonigan show. You do a great job Larry.

[@usdmax7489]

I love how knowledgable homie is with the reference about the gold Speedline wheels! I'm a honda enthusiast, but background history like that is cool to hear.

[@RhamerVaroMusic]

Man do I wish you went into more detail on the cars but this was amazing none the less. Had no idea it existed. Thank you.

[@FightingSportsMedia]

I swear larry has the best content on hoonigan team

[@2mileshigh33]

Some day soon we will make it to sti, that’s a bucket list goal for sure.

[@waylantefang3646]

What I appreciate this place is, they really letting you pop the hood or sit in to feel what an actual rally car should be.

[@FaridFauzan2405]

0:34 to 0:38 everything about Subaru-kun.. (RE ZERO) LOL

[@buickboy92]

So incredibly awesome! Can never get enough of Subarus!

[@rhysdriedger5381]

I now know why my Type RA has gold wheels for reals now thanks to you guys 👍

[@Belgian-Motorsport]

Nice video again guys. I'm very surprised that they don't have all the modelcars yet. But in a way it's cool that they let the fans contribute to the museum. I have that 2003 Solberg model (and many others), but I'll keep it for myself. :)

[@SubaruAmbassadorRobert]

Awesome vid!!! Hopefully, I will get a chance to visit it one day!

[@galuhrichata6148]

Now I know the first place to go when I visit Tokyo again... thanks, guys.. Hail McRae..

[@aquaisuseful682]

Well you just added another reason for me to go to Japan. And another bucket list item

[@TripSkyWalker]

I got to go a few years ago. But even thou the museum was technically closed. They still let us walk around. Love that place.

[@CoolCarlos310]

Subaru for Ever!!! It would of been great if they made a two door hatch back for rally racing category

[@georgef1176]

THanks so much Larry!! This content has been the best yet.

[@tonismith6168]

Absolute fav. channel thank u and props guys!!!!!!

[@YukiTsunoda7]

*incredible, KINGS* *keep pushing forward*

[@CaptainBreny]

petter solberg and fredric aasboe is 2 of the few reasons im proud to be norwegian

[@justinturner4850]

22B dreaming😍 thanks Larry for distracting us for a moment. As soon as the video ended I remembered My job shut down. My daughter, mortgage, car payments. Not to mention my family’s health. I went from $10k a month to zero. These are scary times. I know I’m not alone by a long shot. We are all in this together. Stay strong, and stay positive, this will pass eventually. Aloha from Maui everyone.❤️🤙

[@larrychen5678]

Damn, sorry bud. Keep your chin up. Hopefully I can go back to visit Hawaii soon.

[@bellotmehdi]

Stay strong man!

[@ShiftingFury]

This video quality is stunning! Wow

[@goldtutch]

I was into rotaries then i crashed 1 and my parents made me buy a toyota camry from then i was a toyota guy but now i have a 2008 gh 2.0r special edition impreza which is not fast non turbo but it feels like a lot more value for money , its 4wd which is important for safe handling and it just has some small features that make you feel like the car is pampering you more ,For instance the se model has full black leather recaro bucket interior which sold me on this car, but now i really have the thirst for a wrx sti ! I think i can afford one later on. Thanks for this video! there are a few videos where collins car is driven on youtube!

[@uokutadrifts]

Rem? Waifu on my Hoonigan video? Jk, pretty good stuff right there. Especially that Mint 22B

[@hel8686]

7:51 KOBE!!!

Imagine having a Subaru brand vape pen.

[@markoz673bajen8]

Louis and Rem

[@Luke-qs2cg]

I've got a couple of the missing models, had no idea about this place. Definately headed to tokyo soon as the human malware is over with

[@solhays]

God I loved visiting Mitaka!!! I don't think they normally let people touch the cars. All of them were roped off when I was there.

[@dominicfarmer6729]

All the McRae family are amazing at rallying in general 💯

[@diamond_industries]

Liked the video before watching, because Larry delivers.

[@_mints2157]

Two place i want to visit now,nismo showroom n now this!!

oooohhhh that 1998 one is the dream

[@BlazinX]

Loved the sub box in the back! 😆 This is such a great channel! You guys are doing a great job! 😃😃

[@jsquared1013]

That was a helmet case for the transits between stages 😜

[@BlazinX]

@@jsquared1013 Ohhh! Good to know! 😁

[@tomaslongoria2449]

What? Omg so jealous. Love this episode. Love live colin ha ha.

[@rwdplz1]

So...he's Rem?

[@vingtorodinson1967]

From what I can remember, the 2003 WRC car that Solberg drove and won in, is in his own personal garage after buying it from his race manager for 10k(iirc) Euros. Either he'll donate it to Subaru, or he'll keep it and pass it down onto Oliver.

[@JaredR1996]

Colin’s rally car just screams Gran Turismo

[@jsquared1013]

Codemasters' Colin McRae Rally!

[@WRCfan]

Interesting that the 96 Sanremo car in Mitaka carries the same plate as the 96 Catalunya car that is owned by Prodrive UK currently. I didn't realise there was duplicate number plates. Great video Larry!

[@obsidian00]
