Subaru - Impreza WRX STI WR1

To mark Petter Solberg's glorious 2003 World Rally Championship Drivers' Title win, Subaru unveil an exclusive edition Impreza WRX STi. The latest in a long line of sucessful collaborations between Subaru (UK) Ltd and Prodrive Ltd., it's called the WR1 and is so stunningly special, only 500 have been produced.

It takes the legendary attributes of the WRX STi turbo charged Subaru Boxer engine, Symmetrical All- Wheel Drive, six speed gearbox, front and rear Suretrac differentials and, of course Brembo brakes and lifts already superb performance to absolutely astonishing planes.

Now a new Prodrive performance package (to be fitted after registration of the vehicle) boosts power output to an awesome 320 PS.

Also new is a manually selected driver's control centre differential (DCCD). Now the torque distribution between front and rear wheels can be chosen to suit particular driving modes delivering sharper cornering turn-in or more stable straightline running.

Other handling enhancements include Prodrive developed uprated springs and bump stops with a 25mm lower ride height, 18'' diameter PFF (Prodrive Flow Forming) seven spoke alloy wheels with Pirelli P Zero tyres.

A car honed and re-specified to produce the purest, most responsive, most focused drive ever. And an Impreza that looks cooler than ever in new Ice Blue metallic paint with additional driving lamps and twin stainless steel mesh grilles.
