Alan's MY99 Subaru Legacy B4 RSK

Original Model Information:

With the new Subaru Legacy, a high performance version of it has also arrived: the B4 RSK. The B4, which indicated suspension tuning by Porsche (yes, Porsche!), Subaru's new partner in Japan, and RSK which stands for Rally Sport Kompressor are the main clues to the true nature of this 280 horsepower sedan. That is the same output of the Subaru Impreza WRX STi and the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VI. The twin-turbo system provides the excellent 4-cylinder powerplant with the power for some spirited performance. If you plan to spend most of your time at the track or rallying, get a WRX STi, but if all you need is a great sports sedan with the ability to easily haul 4 people, the Legacy B4 RSK is a much more conservative choice.
