British stunt driver Russ Swift wowed motoring fans in the Queen City of the South with his exciting stunts and precision driving while onboard Subaru vehicles during the Subaru Ultimate Test Drive event held at the parking lot of SM City Cebu. This was the second time that Swift has performed before the Cebuano crowd.
Motor Image Pilipinas (MIP), the exclusive distributor of Subaru vehicles in the country brought Swift back to Cebu to see and experience first hand the capabilities of Subaru vehicles with a precision driver behind the wheel. The show was held in conjunction with Subaru’s annual Ultimate Test Drive where they bring the ride and drive experience right to their customers.
Swift performed several exhilarating stunts including handbrake parking, donuts, parallel parking in tightest space, skiing (driving on two wheels). J-turn in tightest space, and the car ballet onboard different Subaru cars including the Forester, Impreza STi, and the BRZ. The Cebuano crown was even more wowed when Swift allowed them to join him inside the Subaru cars as he performed the stunts.
Aside from the stunt show, Subaru also provided a track where customers were able to experience the new safety technologies Subaru cars are known for including the Subaru EyeSight diver assist technology which uses windshield-mounted cameras that continually monitor the road ahead. When a potential danger is detected, EyeSight will activate one of the four safety systems to keep the passenger and the car safe. These safety systems include the Pre-Collision Throttle Management; Adaptive Cruise Control; Lane Departure and Sway Warning with Lane Keep Assist; and Pre-Collision Braking.
A special track with rollers and steep curbs was also set up to demonstrate to the guest how Subaru’s All-Wheel-Drive system works.
Moreover, Subaru partners Sonax, Black Rhino PH and Motul were also present to showcase their products and provide onsite discount to visitors.
Subaru Cebu’s Brian Chua hosted the MIP team as well as Russ Swift’s contingent during their stay, bringing them around the city to experience true Cebuano hospitality.
