Herridge's XV features a Subaru 2.0L turbo engine from the WRX STI.
He and the Forester achieved podium and top-5 outright finishes in the Australasian Safari, and held the outright lead in the Sunraysia Safari until engine problems forced them to retire at the end of the penultimate day of last years event.
"The Forester has proven to be a great car and having completed four Australasian Safaris and leading last year’s Sunraysia Safari, it has shown that the Subaru Symmetrical AWD concept is competitive in these harsh conditions.
"We have learnt a lot competing in these type of events and we thought that we could tweak the Subaru AWD idea a bit harder with the XV."
The Sunraysia Safari begins on Tuesday August 7, and is contested over five days using tracks in and around the Wentworth Shire in outback NSW.
