During the 2024 Goodwood Festival of Speed I have filmed this 860HP Subaru GL Wagon Gymkhana Car with Active Aero driven by Travis Pastrana, which also crashed during the shoot out on the last day!
This insane car has been built by Hoonigan Motorsport and Subaru Motorsports USA as the new weapon for the next Gymkhana video which will be unveiled later this year.
The car began its life as a 1983 Subaru GL Wagon, now named the “Family Huckster”, but as you can imagine not much of the original car remains. The original body panels have been tossed out in favour of bespoke carbon fibre pieces, while the car’s chassis has been upgraded to a lightweight tubular spaceframe. Under the hood a 4-cylinder boxer engine able to produce 862 hp, coupled to a 6-speed sequential gearbox and all-wheel drive.
Despite the retro look, one of the wagon’s standout features is its active aerodynamics: a big rear aero wing at the back that works alongside the hydraulic aero flaps on the front and rear fenders. On top, a functional carbon-fiber roof rack helps direct air into a NACA duct on the roof that feeds it to the rear-mounted radiator. On the inside, you’ll find and original GL Wagon’s 1983 radio and a 12-inch digital gauge cluster featuring graphics and look straight from a 1980’s sci-fi movie.
