So hang on...Does that mean they are going to get Makinen again to better the 2011 best ever Nuremberg lap time with the new 2015 STi?
only weird part in this video is that this NRB challenge model in the video looks heavily modified/weight reduced/full track car etc, as in won't be a rolling out of factory Subaru..

Whereas the ring record set by STi in 2011 is the production car record...hmmm I wonder if they don't want to challenge that awesome 7m55"00 production car record for a reason

hmm fastest STi around the nurburgring...haven't you seen the makinen STi video when Subaru wanted to prove that they made the fastest STi from factory ever and were back to hardcore performance? and they did

I thought that looked like the 2015 STi in this video above

My point is: this doesn't look like they going to challenge the production car lap time! the car in this video is a heavily modded one can't give that to Tommi to try beat the lap record... maybe they won't attempt it, maybe the new car not as good..

Whats your opinion on this

that was my point, re read through my post you'll get what I'm asking as an opinion

Pretty sure that's a race trim Sti designed to compete in the 24hr at the green hell.
