Fastest WRX ever<\/h2>\n
The quickest and fastest ever WRX race car from Subaru Motorsports USA, which placed second at the 2024 Festival of Speed Timed Shootout, will tackle Sonoma Raceway\u2019s 12-turn road course throughout the weekend.<\/p>\n
Hot Shoe Scott Speed<\/h2>\n
Piloted by Scott Speed, a Northern California native, Project Midnight takes things to a new level with a singular directive: outright speed. Project Midnight features ultra-wide aerodynamic bodywork and a radically enlarged version of the wing found on the team\u2019s WRX ARA24 gravel rally car. The carbon fiber body and a significantly lightened chassis give it a curb weight of well under 2,500 pounds \u2013 nearly 1,000 pounds lighter than a standard WRX. Under the hood, a turbocharged and inter-cooled 2.0-liter flat-four engine produces 670 hp and 680 lb-ft of torque, revving to 9500 rpm and spitting flames from its hood-exit exhaust. The powerplant is the most recent and top-performing evolution of Subaru Motorsports USA\u2019s highly successful rallycross engine that helped Speed earn Subaru the Nitro Rallycross Teams Championship<\/a> in 2021. <\/p>\n \u201cWatching Scott put Project Midnight through its paces at Goodwood was incredible, and I\u2019m thrilled we can bring this ground-breaking machine to our guests,\u201d said Velocity Invitational Founder Jeff O\u2019Neill.\u00a0 \u201cPartnering with a brand like Subaru and hosting world-class cars like Project Midnight highlights the exceptional caliber of entertainment we will feature this year as we celebrate our fifth annual event.\u201d<\/p>\n This year\u2019s Velocity Invitational<\/a> will feature an unparalleled lineup of the world\u2019s rarest cars, including modern hypercars, a Jaguar D-Type anniversary class, a historic NASCAR<\/a> class, historic Formula 1 race cars, and other popular historic racing groups.
