Could you only imagine taking virtually the same Subaru WRX STi that Ken Block drives in those absolutely stunning Gymkhana videos onto the snow as a fully built TRAX vehicle? Well, that is exactly what has come of a new rally-prepped 2009 WRX STi TRAX vehicle built by Vermont SportsCar.
Toyota-Subaru Coupe Prototype Spotted and New Renderings Surface
I am not even sure why I bother posting the images of what some have claimed to be the Toyota FT-86 Prototype. This thing looks nothing like the images we posted last week. Obviously it looks more like a Subaru WRX and could only be a test mule for the new engine/platform that will be used in the joint venture of Toyota and Subaru’s FT-86. However, I do like the new rendered images of the Subaru version of this new coupe shown below.

Supposedly this is the world fastest Subaru WRX STi which is a bold title to hold considering the massive potential and capabilities of the current WRX STi. No doubt that the STi is a stunning performer but the one of the many demonstrated in the video below, is a monster that is able to make a dash from 0 to 60mph in an astonishing 1.9 seconds. That may cause a mild case of whiplash if you are not careful. That’s almost Top-Fuel Dragster proportions, well… not really, but you get the point I am trying to make.
Ken Block & Rob Dyrdek Featured in GYMKHANA 2.1 Video
You can never get enough of the action packed skilled driving of Ken Block’s Gymkhana videos. How would you make it any more entertaining? How about coupling a new Gymkhana 2.1 video with pro skateboarder Rob Dyrdek in his mini-kart model of Ken’s STi? Obviously the mini-kart was build especially for this Gymkhana series as a scaled replica.
Enjoy the 3 minute video clip below and be sure not to blink during the near-miss stunt work and then the collision at the end.

Top Gear: Ken Block Takes James May Sideways
Ken’s a master of sliding sideways in his specially-equipped Subaru. And as you can see, he gives May the ride of his life — even if he doesn’t have the guts to say it. And by guts, we mean of course playing his role as the anti-stereotypical “Captain Slow” by decrying his inability to drive fast in a straight line.
What would you feel like if you sat in a car with Ken Block? After seeing that video, it makes me want to learn how to drive like him! Read more
More Details on the Upcoming 2012 Toyota/Subaru RWD 086A (AE86) Sports Coupe Revealed
We all remember the Toyota Corolla RWD AE86 coupe, which is a drifter’s dream car. It seems we are getting more and more confirmations of a joint venture between Toyota and Subaru making a come-back in this missing-link that Toyota as had for over a decade now.
2012 Toyota/Subaru RWD Sports Coupe To Hit The Market
We have said Toyota was plain boring before especially when it comes to sports cars or even “sporty” coupes. The question I have been asking for several years now, where is Toyota’s AE86 Corolla for the new millennium? Well, I think they have answered my question (and prayers). Toyota and Subaru, in a joint venture, plan to introduce a rear-wheel-drive sports coupe in 2011 or 2012.
