Subaru Motorsports USA is teasing a mysterious project codenamed “Project Midnight.” Channeling the “first rule” quote from Fight Club, they’ve cleverly piqued interest with minimal details.
This summer’s Goodwood Festival of Speed will be the stage for the big reveal, and promises are high. Subaru hints at a ferocious, previously unseen machine, a worthy successor to their outrageous “Family Huckster” from Gymkhana 2022.
That bonkers 1983 GL boasted a pumped-up 862-hp turbo engine, and is likely to share a driver with this new project: rally and stunt legend Travis Pastrana.
Revealing Subaru’s mysterious Project Midnight, four social media posts offer a tantalizing look at the high-performance beast.
The aggressive body kit boasts wide fender flares reminiscent of Subaru’s rally cars, but with a twist redesigned front and rear bumpers hint at a unique aerodynamic package.
Carbon fiber accents throughout, from the air intakes to the rear diffuser, underscore the focus on keeping weight in check. Racing slicks speak volumes about Project Midnight’s purpose of dominating the tarmac.
Rallycross champion Scott Speed’s name adorns the rear window, a fitting match for a car built for pure speed. While details about the powertrain remain under wraps, Subaru’s hints suggest a possible all-electric future for Project Midnight.
