Rather like the chassis tweaks it's difficult to identify the ST200's shorter gear
ratios in terms of straight - line acceleration — you'd need to

While the V - 10 beams us effortlessly past slower traffic, four - wheel

in from the brink time after time.
Subaru has said the car will weigh around 1220 kg, which puts it close
