First Impressions
Adrenaline describes the Murtaya as an everyday supercar, and it certainly lives up to that tagline, thanks to 911 GT3-humbling pace combined with decent practicality and reliable Subaru underpinnings. There are few cars which can match its all round capability and even fewer at the same sort of price.
The Murtaya demonstrator, based on a near-standard Impreza WRX, has been officially timed at 3.5 seconds to 60mph. From a standstill it will hit 100mph in 7.5 seconds (around the same time as a Koenigsegg CXX) and top speed ranges from 145mph to well over 170 depending on the gearing.
Performance
So it's fast, but what's truly addictive is the way in which that performance is delivered. Initially it seems modest, a little tame even, but then suddenly the turbo reaches full boost and the Murtaya is catapulted down the road at a ferociously rapid pace.
One AMS customer also has a tuned Porsche 911 GT3 and claims the Murtaya is faster. It's not hard to believe. The abrupt delivery takes some getting used to. You have to be wary of accelerating mid-corner, but once you learn to work with it, the turbocharged rush becomes highly addictive.
