Did You Know? Anecdotes and Curiosities about our Miniatures

Why does Subaru use exclusively boxer engines?

Subaru's flat-plane engine lowers the vehicle's center of gravity, improving stability and handling. This unique configuration also allows for better weight distribution and reduced vibration, which is why our Subaru model cars faithfully replicate this distinctive under-hood feature.

What does the name 'Subaru' mean and what does it have to do with the logo?

Subaru means 'united' in Japanese and refers to the Pleiades star cluster. The brand logo depicts these six stars, symbolizing the union of the six companies that merged to create Subaru. On our model cars, this star logo is precisely reproduced on the grille and wheels.

What is special about Subaru all-wheel drive?

Subaru is one of the few manufacturers to offer all-wheel drive (AWD) as standard on almost all its models since the 1970s. This Symmetrical AWD technology provides optimal traction in all conditions, a detail that can be found faithfully reproduced on our model cars with visible differentials and driveshafts.

Why did the Subaru Impreza WRX STI become legendary?

The WRX STI dominated the World Rally Championship in the 1990s with drivers like Colin McRae and Richard Burns. Its turbo boxer engine and all-wheel drive made it a formidable weapon on both gravel and asphalt. Our WRX STI model cars reproduce the authentic racing liveries of this golden era.

What makes Subaru design so recognizable?

Subaru design has been defined by its flared wheel arches, distinctive hexagonal grille, and boomerang-shaped taillights since 2012. The rugged, functional lines reflect the brand's off-road DNA. Each model car in our Subaru collection scrupulously adheres to these iconic aesthetic codes.
