Go behind the scenes to see how a dowdy 1983 Subaru GL wagon became the wild 865-hp ride for 'Gymkhana 2022.'
Travis Pastrana's Subaru Family Huckster gymkhana car being assembled
The video shows just how little the Family Huckster has in common with a stock GL wagon. The car is based on a bespoke tube-frame chassis, over which carbon-fiber body panels are draped. Even those are heavily massaged from stock GL wagon panels, incorporating active aerodynamic elements similar to those used on the Airslayer.
Sitting under the flat hood is a turbocharged 2.3-liter flat-4 like the one used in the Airslayer, but featuring a unique exhaust system with 3D-printed tips that exit through the passenger side front fender. Output is 865 hp, which is sent to all four wheels through a 6-speed sequential transmission.
After the car is assembled, the bare carbon fiber bodywork gets a vinyl wrap inspired by the livery of the original GL wagons Subaru built as a marketing tie-in with the U.S. ski team. That livery is one of the reasonsPastrana's association with Subaru extends beyond gymkhana to the American Rally Association championship, where he'll continue racing Vermont SportsCar-built WRX rally cars for a little while longer.
