Unveiled at the 2024 Goodwood Festival of Speed, the Subaru WRX Project Midnight is a fire-breathing, tarmac-scorching beast born from the legacy of the Airslayer rallycross car. This collaboratively-built machine by Subaru Motorsports USA and Vermont SportsCar pushes the boundaries of performance for the iconic WRX platform.

A Midnight Engine Built for Maximum Power

The heart of Project Midnight lies in its monstrous engine. A turbocharged and intercooled 2.0-liter flat-four engine lurks beneath the hood, churning out a staggering 670 horsepower and 680 lb-ft of torque. This ferocious powerplant screams to a 9,500 rpm redline, delivering an exhilarating and unforgettable driving experience. Complementing this monstrous power is a hood-exit exhaust system, adding a dramatic visual and auditory flair to the car's aggressive persona.

Lightweight Champion: Shedding Pounds for Peak Performance

Subaru's engineers prioritized shedding weight in Project Midnight. The result is a remarkably lightweight chassis tipping the scales at just 2,469 lbs. This impressive feat is achieved through a full carbon-fiber body that significantly reduces weight compared to a standard WRX. Specially-derived tarmac suspension geometry further contributes to the car's agility and responsiveness.

Clawing at the Asphalt: Tires and Wheels Built for Performance

Project Midnight sits on a set of 18x11-inch OZ Racing Superturismo LMP magnesium wheels. These lightweight wheels are wrapped in 280/650R18 Yokohama ADVAN slicks, providing exceptional grip and handling on tarmac surfaces. This combination allows Project Midnight to carve corners with precision and stability, even at high speeds.

Aerodynamics Sculpted for Speed

Project Midnight's menacing appearance isn't just for show. The car features a sculpted aerodynamic package that generates significant downforce, pressing the car into the pavement for maximum grip during high-speed maneuvers. A prominent rear wing is a clear indicator of the car's focus on downforce and aerodynamic efficiency.

A Legacy of Performance Lives On

Project Midnight serves as a testament to Subaru's commitment to performance engineering. It takes the iconic WRX platform and elevates it to new heights, showcasing the immense potential that lies within. While details on future competition plans remain scarce, Project Midnight's debut at Goodwood serves as a thrilling glimpse into the future of Subaru's performance aspirations.
