SEMA Build for 2026 Subaru Outback Wilderness

Built to push beyond the pavement, the 2026 Subaru Outback Wilderness takes adventure to the next level.

This SEMA build elevates the rugged SUV with purpose-built performance upgrades, aggressive styling, and trail-ready capability. From enhanced airflow and exhaust performance to off-road protection and functional upgrades, every detail is designed to make the Outback Wilderness as capable as it looks—ready to leave the beaten path behind.

The 2026 Outback Wilderness already brings a strong foundation with a 260-hp turbocharged BOXER engine, 9.5 inches of ground clearance, and standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive.

 

ENGINE & PERFORMANCE UPGRADES

We set out to identify the biggest opportunities to unlock performance from the Audi RS3. Starting with the Cold Air Intake, we focused on maximizing clean, cool airflow to the engine. High-performance Pro 5R air filters help optimize airflow while delivering proven dyno-tested gains. Our performance exhaust system further enhances the driving experience with an aggressive, distinctive exhaust note.

To complement these upgrades, we developed two plug-and-play performance electronics: the SCORCHER Poweer Module and Pedal2Metal Throttle Enhancer. Working together, they deliver increased horsepower and torque while sharpening throttle response, giving the RS3 a more responsive, performance-driven feel on the street or track.

Enhance the Audi RS3’s handling and stance with aFe CONTROL Sway Bars and Eibach Lowering Springs. Reduce body roll, improve cornering stability, and achieve a more planted, responsive driving experience. Eibach springs deliver a lower, more aggressive look, while the Sway Bars sharpen handling for confident performance on the street or track.
