Not Sure if a repost? Just looking for a good write up on it. Apparently only limited to 75 cars being made?
I still want a WR1 in Ice Blue!

Might have 400bhp, but its still as ugly as a ghetto mums rear end.

I was gonna start a thread about this last week.
They've grown on me. I like it, the only think that I think is ugly are the rear lights.

I still prefer them as saloons. I wonder how many people will think people have just stuck Cosworth badges on their cars!

I thought they were horrible when they first came out, but now I love them. Better than the EVO X imo

I like that, pretty sure I read somewhere its 50k though isnt it!!?
I drove a 340S a few months ago & it was a fantastic car.
Looks wise, its no impreza. I think it looks more like a modern day Integrale.
Like these much more than the last few versions now.

That Cosworth one was sat on our forecourt the other week, can't really say too much why it was there just that a consultant turned up in it on loan to him
they look pretty cool up close, grown on me much more since they first came out, saloon still looks loads better though

I am very excited by the Cosworth/Subaru collaboration. Both companies have invested heavily in this and I expect we will see other variants as well or Cosworth tuning packages similar to the PPP`s from Prodrive.
50k Is a shit load of money though and for 38k you can get a brand new Type-20 from Litchfield with the following spec:
2010 JDM Subaru Impreza STI
410 PS @ 7,500 Rpm / 375lbft @ 3,500rpm
2.0 Litre EJ207 Engine with Dual Variable Valve Timing
New Type-20 Twinscroll turbo with Zircotec ceramic coating
Type-20 Turbo heat shield
Litchfield cold air induction system with high flow filter
Litchfield reprogrammed ECU with enhanced Economy mode
Milltek 3” Exhaust system with 100 cell Hi-Flow Sports Catalytic converter (saves 20kg).
Japanese STI quicker 13.1 Steering Rack
Revised chassis bushes and up rated anti roll bar
Increased Castor angle and wheel base
Re-valved power steering system with increased feel and weight
AST 12-Way adjustable suspension allowing lower ride height (-35mm over standard)
STI front lip spoiler
Litchfield front strut brace
18x8.5 Lightweight Rota alloy wheels
High performance 245/40/18 Dunlop SP600 tyres
365mm Alcon Brake kit
Red Maserati style tail light option
Price: £37,995 OTR
For 12k difference I know where my money would go and a Litchfield warranty is probably better then a main stealers.
Plus they are developping a Type 25 which will be an absolute weapon and if its circa 50k its going to be a better buy also.
Im creaming over the Cosworth badge but 50k
