TRAX 2025 – The Return of the Subaru!

Team Japspeed Unveils Rebuilt Subaru After 15 tears at TRAX Silverstone

After nearly 15 years in hibernation, one of Team Japspeed’s most iconic machines is officially back and it’s louder, faster, and wilder than ever. 
 

We were proud to unveil our freshly rebuilt Subaru at Trax 2025, making its dramatic return to the spotlight in front of a massive crowd. The reveal was made even more special by none other than Team Japspeed driver and Boyzone legend Shane Lynch who’ll be getting behind the wheel of the Subaru later this year. 

This isn’t just a nostalgic return. This is a complete rebirth. 

Under the Bonnet: LS9 V8 Power

The biggest change? That monster under the bonnet. Gone is the 2JZ, (And Rotary after a very brief spell under the bonnet), in its place sits a supercharged LS9 V8. Thanks to some serious tuning work, this engine is now pushing towards 1000bhp. That’s right… four figures of raw, American muscle, rebuilt and reimagined for drift domination.

The man behind this brutal transformation? Huge credit goes to Japspeed driver, engineer & fabricator Anthony Thompson, whose time, dedication and expertise brought this ambitious project to life. 

Built for the Track - But Not Quite ready...Yet

While we were hoping to unleash the Subaru on track during the Drift Matsuri demo over the TRAX weekend, some last-minute gremlins kept it from sliding in anger. But fear not, this machine will be alive and roaring for its first full outing at Classic Japfest on 4th October, Goodwood Motor Circuit. 

Mark your calendars…  you do not want to miss this.
