The Subaru Legacy and record the history of the 100,000 km

The Subaru Legacy is one of the oldest models of the brand. In the year that appeared and went into production, the Legacy was the subject of a challenge immensely, nothing less than trying to drive over 100,000 miles to break the speed record over that distance. The intention was to cover 100,000 km in the shortest time possible, losing as little time at stops to refuel and change tires.

From 2 to June 21, 1989, the first generation of the Subaru Legacy crossed that distance at an average of 223.345 km / h, and the average speed was able to go the full distance in 447 hours, 44 minutes and 9.887 seconds.

Every two hours stopped to refuel, while tire would change every 96 hours (about 21,600 km traveled). The circuit, part of the Arizona Test Center, was an oval over nine kilometers of rope, and the test seemed like a tour of an endless road.

The new record meant an improvement in the average speed of about 10 km / h on its predecessor, but more impressive is that stayed on top for 16 years! With this style tests, the amount of data gathered in strength and motor components (and also for comfort) was huge.
