In-game description[]

"The 100-car limited edition made in commemoration of the class victory in the Nürburgring 24-hour race."

The S206 NBR Challenge Package is a limited edition complete tuning car, tuned by Subaru's motorsports department, Subaru Technica International.

The base S206 was developed from the high-performance model of the 3rd generation Impreza WRX STI 4-door model.

The horizontally opposed, 4-cylinder, turbocharged engine of the S206 is brushed up by optimising weight balance of various parts, adopting a specially developed ECU, and a ball bearing turbo. This increased the power to 315 BHP from the original 303 BHP. On the front of the car is a flexible tower bar and a flexible draw stiffener, with a flexible support on the rear to improve body rigidity. The chassis is supported by Bilstein dampers and STI Springs to improve overall cornering performance. A large front spoiler and rear wing also improve aerodynamics.

The NBR Challenge Package[1] is a package that takes this one step further for hardcore users. The package was offered in commemoration of the Impreza WRX class victory at the Nürburgring 24-hour race in the same year.

Utilising a carbon roof and a special dry-carbon rear wing with a 2-level angle adjustment feature, the centre of gravity was lowered further, allowing even sharper cornering capability. The price was more than 1.5 times the price of a standard WRX, but many journalists praised the quality of the car's driving performance as being more than sufficient to make up for the price difference.
