Subaru SVX – 1992 PPG Pace Car
This Subaru SVX has a cult following among SVX owners.
History
I couldn’t find any track history of this car. The SVX Pace Car appeared publicly at a SVX owner’s meet in 2009. Hundreds of SVX enthusiasts saw the car in person and took photographs. One owner uploaded a walk around video on youtube.
Specifications
While it didn’t have any extensive body work like many of the earlier Pace Cars, it was sprayed in an unforgettable silver-to-purple gradient and has a matching interior. The AWD SVX is powered by a 260hp turbocharged overhead cam V-6 engine.

From the 1992-1993 edition of The Men & Machines of Indy Car Racing:
A new addition to the pace car fleet is a unique all-wheel drive Subaru sporting a 260hp turbocharged overhead cam V-6 engine.
