Watch A Subaru WRX STI Get Smashed To Bits As It Barrels Down A Bobsled Run

Rally driver and all-round driving nutter Mark Higgins can be seen driving a WRX STI down the famous St. Moritz bobsled run, with spectacular and crashy results...

If you’re thinking this WRX STI must have been in quite a state by the end of the run, you’d be right. Road and Track has a few aftermath pictures, and while the Subaru was apparently driveable, it ended up particularly battered. But then it wasn’t really designed to blast down a bobsled run.

If the name of the driver - Mark Higgins - sounds familiar, it’ll probably be because that’s the chap who currently holds the Isle of Man TT lap record for cars. The rally and stunt driver has had various record-breaking over the years involving Subarus, and it’s fair to say he’s a rather handy helmsman. And on this evidence, a pretty damn brave one too. Kudos, sir…

Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

but why?

Me too, I wonder why. The Subaru could barely fit within the walls.

I loved this video. I bet you if it was any other company the would try to make it perfect with CGI and all sorts so the car gets out still shining. Subaru just can’t give a single f**k.
