I can’t stop watching 😍

Travis Pastrana’s “Brataroo” is a custom-built 1978 Subaru BRAT that swaps vintage utility for a 670-hp carbon-fiber chassis designed to conquer the Australian outback.

This high-revving beast features a revolutionary active aero system, utilizing motorized fender louvers and a massive rear wing controlled by original 1978 dashboard sliders to stabilize the car during massive jumps.

By blending retro styling with modern rallycross engineering, it pushes the boundaries of what a stunt vehicle can achieve in the air and on the dirt.

Given its ability to skip across water and fly over canyons, do you think active aero will eventually become a standard feature in high-performance off-road racing?

What are your thoughts? 🤔💭
