I didn't know there was a post-2002 Blitzen. Unless someone can come up with some evidence to the contrary, I suspect it's a Legacy (probably one of the non-standard versions) that someone has added a Blitzen badge to. Anything 2005 will be factory single turbo.

 

EDIT: Well, some further research suggests that there was indeed a Blitzen up through at least 2005.

The original Blitzen was in the BE/BH shape, which ended in 2003. These were the last of the twin turbo cars; this generation of Blitzen was indeed a collaboration between Subaru and Porsche Design and got a few little extras, mostly just the bodykit and some rims though.

 

I've done a bit of hunting around this morning and it looks like they did a Blitzen in the BL/BP shape which started in 2004. These cars are all single turbo from the factory, this is what your car will be. Same deal, bodykit and rims and in theory it should be bright red.

Drivetrain is no different to any other GT of the same era (4th gen BL/BP 06/2003 - 06/2008) - i.e a single turbo. Porsche Design were involved with the exterior, again nothing to do with the drivetrain. Post some pics for us. 

 

Some JDM catalogue goodness

I have a sneaking suspicion there was also an H6 Blitzen in the BP/BL shape. I suspect this, as I am sure Ichiban had one in Wellington for a while.

Split & created your own 05 Blitzen thread in the Legacy Section (some good info here) as I dont think we've seen some of these on the forums before (new model buyers are slow to catch on / Facebook clubs seem to be 'winning')

 

again welcome to the forums & thanks for your contribution! Your $$ help keep this place alive & information like this available hopefully for years to come!
