Travis Pastrana and Hoonigan know a thing or two about fast Subarus, and his latest Gymkhana car is likely his wildest yet. It was revealed earlier this year, and it's named the "Family Huckster." Now, we finally have detailed specifications on the outrageous, all-wheel-drive, carbon-fiber covered 1983 GL station wagon.

Admittedly, there aren't many components left on the Family Huckster that still carry a Subaru parts number. Riding on one-of-a-kind eight-spoke KMC wheels, the wagon features an ultra-wide body kit and a tubular space frame. All of the body panels were made with carbon fiber to keep weight in check, and Hoonigan added a suite of active aerodynamic add-ons that includes flaps integrated into the wheel arch flares and a huge wing out back. The flaps can be operated automatically or manually, while the wing is deployed electro-pneumatically.

From the driver's seat, Pastrana will face a custom-made, 12-inch digital instrument cluster that looks like it comes from the 1980s. His team also added blue carbon fiber (Subaru often put blue plastic in its cars during the early 1980s) and a radio from a 1983 GL.
