As a rule a car firm is usually remembered for its vital trajectory and for all or most of the models it has sold. However, when a model becomes the flagship of a brand, the story changes radically. That is, customers look for the essence of that mythical model in each and every one of their creations. We have the best example in the Subaru Impreza B22 that gave the Japanese firm several rally victories...
From then on, the history of Subaru was associated with the world of competition and rallying. However, the anti-pollution regulations have put an end to the sportier versions of its range. Although there are always intermediate solutions such as Prodrive P25 that will surely please the most fanatical. Do you remember the P25? We have already told you about him a couple of times, but now we know all your secrets I'm sure they'll make you wish you had one...
Of the Prodrive P25, 25 units will be manufactured and its price starts at £460 + VAT in the United Kingdom...
As you know the Prodrive P25 is the resurrection (or restomod) of the legendary Subaru Impreza B22 from the late 1990s. In fact, bringing it to life requires the original two-door Impreza chassis. It is from there when the Prodrive team completely disassembles it until leaving it "in the bones". Then with a large amount of carbon fiber they shape elements such as the body panels or the WRC rear wing.
Inside the Prodrive P25 also uses carbon fiber on the seats or inside the doors. Everything, to achieve a final weight on the scale that remains below 1.200 kilos. However, although no cabin picturesProdrive describes it as a genuine Impreza B22 that has been trimmed in leather and Alcantara. In addition, there will be four independent seats (the two in the back are removable to include a roll cage).
There is also a high definition display with several display options, different driving modes and to record data on the circuit. As for the exterior design, little to say since it is a carbon copy of the original Impreza B22. Yet under her skin there are improvements like a McPherson strut with adjustable dampers as well as new springs and stabilizer bars. There is also a more generous brake kit with 15 and 19 inches...
Finally we must talk about its mechanics. Under the hood there is a new 2.5 boxer tetracylindrical block that integrates an improved turbocharger. The result is more than 298 kW (405,28 hp) of power governed by a 6-speed sequential transmission with paddles on the steering wheel. There will also be total four-wheel drive and a similar center differential to that of the WRC models. Your benefits? From 0 to 100 kilometers per hour in 3,5 seconds...
