Subaru Legacy B4 GT300 #62 2010-2011 (GT300)

The Subaru Legacy B4 GT300 #62 2010-2011 is a distinctive Japanese GT300-spec race car built for the Super GT series, pairing Subaru’s practical four-door sedan silhouette with a purpose-built racing chassis and rear-wheel-drive conversion for competition. In GT300 form, it represents one of the more unique and charismatic entries in the class, blending turbocharged Boxer character with balanced, endurance-ready performance.

In the Simulator Feel

The Legacy B4 GT300 feels like a classic Super GT oddball in the best way possible — stable, torquey, and surprisingly nimble for a sedan-bodied racer. It doesn’t have the brute force of higher-class machinery, but it makes up for it with approachable handling, strong mechanical grip, and a predictable chassis that’s easy to place on corner entry and exit. The RWD conversion gives it a more traditional racing feel, with enough rotation to keep it engaging without becoming overly edgy.

Engine & Sound: The turbo Boxer delivers a deep, distinctive note with the signature Subaru off-beat character muted somewhat by race exhausts and turbocharging. Expect a punchy mid-range, spool-heavy acceleration, and a mechanical, purposeful sound that feels different from the usual GT3/GT300 field. Under load, the engine note builds into a gritty, flat-four growl with a strong turbo whistle and wastegate chatter on lift.

Handling Characteristics:

  • Cornering: Well-balanced with secure front-end response and manageable rotation on entry.

  • Traction: Good rear grip for a RWD GT car, though it can step out if you get greedy with throttle on corner exit.

  • Braking: Solid and confidence-inspiring, with enough bite to attack braking zones without being overly nervous.

  • Top Speed: Respectable for GT300, though it’s more about consistency and corner speed than outright straight-line pace.

Driving Style Tip: Drive it smoothly and let the chassis do the work. It rewards early confidence on the brakes and disciplined throttle application, especially in medium-speed sections where it can carry momentum. It shines on technical circuits and in longer stints where its stability helps preserve rhythm.

Livery & Aesthetics: The #62 Legacy B4 stands out immediately thanks to its uncommon sedan bodywork and classic Subaru race livery treatment. It has a low, planted Super GT stance with wide arches, aggressive aero, and a purposeful, understated look that feels very period-correct for the early 2010s GT300 era.

Whether you’re running hot laps or fighting through a crowded Super GT grid, the Subaru Legacy B4 GT300 #62 is a memorable, characterful machine that combines Subaru personality with real racing usability.
