Chris Harris takes a spin in Travis Pastrana's Hoonigan Subaru Huckster, a rally car built with NASA-grade engineering capable of death-defying stunts. Despite its intimidating appearance and advanced technology, the Huckster's cabin maintains a retro '80s vibe with period-correct Subaru radio and digital gauges. Powered by a purpose-built 2.3-liter engine with one monster turbocharger, the car produces 862 horsepower and 680 lb-ft of torque. Even Harris, known for his driving skills, was hesitant to push the Huckster to its limits, making Pastrana's ability to control the powerful machine even more impressive.
