Higgins' Subarus on display in USA

by isleofman.com 3rd November 2011

The Subarus of Manx rally drivers Mark and David Higgins have been some of the stars at the SEMA show in Las Vegas.

The show describes itself as the, "the premier automotive specialty products trade event in the world".

On display were the Impreza Mark recorded a new four-wheel TT lap record of over 115mph at the 2011 event and the Impreza David won the 2011 Rally America Championship in.

The machines were taken to showcase some of the manufacturer's home-spun Subaru Performance Tuning parts.

For example, Mark's 2011 WRX STI model was gently tuned, only receiving safety systems, upgraded brake pads and an open muffler to warn spectators.
