Just in time for snow season!  DC co-founder Ken Block teamed up with Subaru to design and produce the world’s fastest cat-track snow car.  Primarily for reaching alpine backwoods to engage in some fresh boarding, the vehicle is also built for fun as a standalone toy.

Prepared by Vermont SportsCar, performance modifications include 400-hp and features Group N competition rally dampers made by EXE-TC and a KAPS 5-speed close-ratio dog-engagement gearbox. Under the hood sits a 2.5 liter, 4-cylinder, turbocharged and intercooled STI engine tuned with a MOTEC M800 ECU.

Not seen is a trailer that will haul up to four boarders and equipment.  More info here.

    Looks like it's got Mattracks on it for the treads.

    These guys are shameless promoters. With that said I envy the hell out of them. Subaru keeps handing the DC crew cars to thrash, look for picture of Ken Block doing snowboard jumps a few years back. Towing into city rails will never be the same.

    I forgot to mention the DC Mt. Lab. This guy has a snowpark in his backyard, living my dream.
