Subaru is continuing its tradition of introducing coveted special editions with the launch of the new Impreza WRX 300.

On sale from late May, the WRX 300 will feature a Prodrive Performance Pack boosting power to 265 PS and torque to 257 lb.ft for a 0-60 mph time of 4.8 seconds and top speed in excess of 145 mph.

Finished in WR Blue, the all-wheel drive saloon boasts special 17 ins alloy wheels with 215/45 tyres, an aluminium gear knob, WRX-branded carpet mats and a ?Subaru World Rally Team? logo on the front seats and front lamp covers.

Also included in the package is an RAC ?Trackstar? anti-theft device plus one-year?s free membership.

This is in addition to a raft of improvements for the ?05 Model Year WRX such as a totally revised chassis with inverted suspension struts and sharper-feeling steering for even more precise handling response.

Other changes for this year include enhanced interiors with plusher ? and extended ? cloth door trim, softer-feeling roof linings and a flush-fit centre console with new air-conditioning controls and new, quality-feeling switchgear.

Limited to 300 examples, the WRX 300 costs £21,495 on-the-road. This represents excellent value as the normal WRX saloon with PPP normally costs £21,900 OTR

Che Subaru stia cercando di limare il gap con la Mitsubishi? Questi ultimi hanno proposto un sacco di versioni potenziate della Lancer, 320, 340, 400cv.... la Impreza non andava oltre i 265, ma è l'ora della riscossa!

p.s. In uk c'è un preparatore famoso di Impreza, Litchfiel o una cosa simile, che vende la Type 25, in pratica una STI potenziata a 360cv, il solo suono merita l'acquisto!!!!

Peccato che da noi non arriva 'na mazza 

Tanto per cambiare... 

Ovviamente da ordinare solo con l'alettone alto ('o stendipann) e non con quella mensola orribile bassa.

Perchè, perchè, io mi chiedo perchè ... anche voi però a riportare certe notizie ... mi vine da svenire ... quanto è bella quest'auto lo sò solo io
