670HP Subaru WRX (2024) 'Project Midnight' attacking the Goodwood hillclimb course!

Built and developed by Subaru Motorsports USA and Vermont SportsCar, 'Project Midnight' was unveiled just a few days ahead of the 2024 Goodwood Festival of Speed. The car was born from the current-generation Subaru WRX and it's been specifically designed to be as quick and as fast as possible on tarmac, compared to its progenitor, the Airslayer, which was built for Pastrana's Gymkhana 2020 video.

Compared to the regular car's 2.4-liter, 270hp flat-4 engine, Project Midnight is powered by a 2.0-liter flat-4 (derived from the rallycross WRX) and it's able to produce 670hp and 920Nm of torque, revving up to 9,500 rpm. The total weight of the car is around 1,120 kg (2469 lbs).
Project Midnight's huge rear wing is also an exaggerated version of the one found on Vermont SportCar's WRX ARA24 gravel rally car.

The task of driving the car and setting the best time in the famous Shootout competition was entrusted to ex-F1 and current Subaru Motorsport USA rallycross driver Scott Speed, who managed to finish in second place with a time of 46.07 seconds (and a best run of 45.1 seconds on Saturday's qualifying).

[GRamerDim]

Subaru try not to build a wrc car challenge (difficulty: a rock can beat this challenge)

[BLKBRDD]

[fogboat]

[Lasagna_Oui]

So satisfying to see the car lifting the front every time it hits the throttle just brutal

[DarkTimz]

Nice to see the good people at sti doing ANYTHING

[panchicorex]

[jibbsey]

This needs to be at the next WTAC event in Sydney! Please!

[SlurryNoises]

That's one menacing, yet SEXY looking car. Holy.

[islamhadad]

why do i still feel like the other STI travis pastrana drove in the gymkhana vid was better

[nfoqgeg]

The fender flares are a little much but this car is the perfect color. Gold rims would be sick.

[MrBubbabubba]

Vermont Sports Car saw the Hoonicorn and Pastrana's last Gymkhana and made an offspring.

[sebastianfriedrich]

[brendanfogel]

Front end of the new wrx is really nice but that rear end has to change man

[deathtoming]

Bro can I swap bodies with Scottie for a day pls this looks fun!

[WRXMAN-msmm]

VSC has created a popular race version of an often maligned car brand and latest car model. Subaru Tecnica International I suspect are nodding 🙂‍↕️ with approval! Wonder if this will translate into a bump in VB generation car sales? Plus wake up Subaru!

[abdulsyed]

Travis will handle this car much better or even ken block
