Few motorsports arenas are as brutal as the Paris-Dakar race. Though the rally now takes place from Argentina-Chile, it still covers some of the most unforgiving terrain on the planet. Now it looks like Subaru is headed to battle. The company has teamed up with Elaion to prove just how tough its Forester is. Details on what’s under the hood is sketchy at best, but you can tell from the video after the jump there’s some serious suspension at work, as well as plenty of carbon fiber. As an owner of a 2004 2.5 XT Forester, I completely approve. [Source: YouTube]
