Subaru Australia will run a fleet of its all-new Uncharted Sport Electric Vehicles in the Targa Tasmania Tour when the tarmac rally starts from Launceston on Wednesday 18 November, alongside 10 WRX and BRZ models driven by Subaru owners.

The Uncharted fleet will cover the first four legs of the event, from the ceremonial start at the Silverdome to Burnie on Saturday 21 November. Australian motoring media and content creators will drive the cars on 18 and 19 November, joined by Subaru ambassadors Emily Arthur and Ryan Williams.

Sales and service managers from Subaru retailers in Western Australia, South Australia, Victoria and New South Wales will also drive the battery-electric Uncharted fleet during the event.

The Tour is Targa's non-competitive category. Participants drive the same closed road stages as the competition field, in groups of around 10 cars behind a Tour Leader, with a maximum permitted speed of 130km/h.

Inchcape Australasia Interim Managing Director, Colin Christie, said: “Great roads have a way of bringing out the best in a car, and Tasmania has some of the best. That's what makes Targa such a great opportunity to bring the Uncharted along and let people truly experience it properly. We're proud of Subaru's history with this event, and excited to show how that same enjoyment of driving carries through to our electric line-up. The Uncharted is quick, engaging and every bit a Subaru behind the wheel.”

The 70North Subaru owner group will also be tackling Targa Tasmania. It has entered 10 cars, spanning MY22 to MY26 WRX and BRZ models, including two rare WRX Club Spec EVOs. A current-generation WRX will lead the Subaru group on the road.

"Subaru has been a big part of Targa for more than 20 years, mostly in the hands of private crews," said Targa Australia Event Director Mark Perry.

"The Tour exists so people can drive Tasmania's roads closed, at a proper pace, without the pressure of competing. This year Subaru is bringing owners, retailers and its newest model to do exactly that. Having all three together in the field reflects our shared history well, and we're excited to have the all-electric Uncharted as part of the event."

Australian rally star, Tony Sullens, won Targa Tasmania’s Modern competition in a Subaru Impreza WRX in 2004 and again in 2007.

Spectators can see the Subaru group leave the ceremonial start on Wednesday 18 November, and on Tour stages across the first four legs. Road closure times and the spectator guide are at www.targa.com.au.
