What car was Jacky Chan driving in Canon Ball Run 1 ?

When I was a kid i thought it was a Toyota Starlet since it has a similar shape. Lately I watched it again, to my surprise it was a Subaru!

What Subaru model is it? 4WD? Turbo?

Love that movie!

It was a 4WD GL hatchback that was also a prototype car for subaru running a turbo setup, the car now resides up in washington at Western Washington University because of it was built by a professor for case studies in automotive designs for subaru.

I will try to find the pics of Quattro San sometime soon of what I have saved. They used to be up on the USMB but looks like the links are stale now.

Speaking of which... love this song from the second film. And I love the theme song. lol.

They play this as the teams take off in the second film, like where bigfoot runs over a porsche.

What's the story on the GL 4WD turbo hatch ending up at Washington? Did the dude build it for them when it was brand new? Sounds like that car probably has a pretty cool story behind it. 8)
