The VB500 SuperGT is by far, one of the quickest road legal vehicles around – thanks to its ability to put power down to the ground! With zero emphasis on drag racing, this vehicle was not built to be a drag car, but has been created to virtually outperform every high horsepower car on the track and canyon backroads.
The VB500 SuperGT is more than a vehicle; it is the embodiment of RZ1 Performance Engineering’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of automotive performance. Each modification reflects a dedication to reliability, longevity and an exhilarating driving experience.
Sure, you could buy a Porsche or a GT-R for $138K… but then you’d be driving what everyone else already has. The VB500 SuperGT isn’t for followers – it’s a handcrafted machine built with precision, passion and performance that embarrasses exotics on the track and in the backroads.
It’s not just a Subaru – it’s a one-of-one, rally-bred, track-focused weapon with motorsport DNA, custom aero, upgraded chassis and engineering that makes supercars nervous. You’re not buying a badge – you’re buying individuality, exclusivity and the power to gap cars twice the price. Trust me, I do that every week!
This isn’t for the crowd that settles – it’s for the driver who dares to lead.
