VIDEO ROLL>> SUBARU’S ISLE OF MAN TT RECORD ATTEMPT
The simple mention of the Isle of Man already whets the appetites of gear heads worldwide. Most of the time, we hear about the two-wheeled exploits on that historic course. This time around, it's an Isle of Man tale about four wheels, a US spec 2011 Subaru WRX STI, driven by Mark Higgins. The STI was a standard 305 HP turbocharged boxer engine with added safety mods and a louder exhaust to warn spectators of the on-coming car. The speed limiter was turned off to allow a higher maximum speed.
During Higgin's attack on the 37 mile track, he reached speeds of 162mph, averaged 115mph, and completed the course with a time of 19 minutes 37 seconds.
Now, turn up that volume and enjoy!
