The two-door Impreza is making a comeback, built by Prodrive and with 400hp 😍
We don’t have a lot of information to go on, but sometimes you’ve just gotta run with what you have. At least when we’re talking about something as significant as a new ‘Impreza’,, the company founded by the force of nature that is David Richards.
Colin McRae also joined Prodrive in 1993 and claimed the team’s first victory when he won the Rally of New Zealand – still driving the old Legacy at that point. In 1995 he took the driver’s title in the Impreza 555 and Subaru and Prodrive its first manufacturers’ title. For 1997 Group A had been replaced by the World Rally Car, with no requirement for a homologation special to compete; cars like the 22B were a celebration of success, rather than a requirement for it.
Peter Stevens has styled the P25, and he was the man who styled the original Impreza WRC. Meanwhile, Prodrive’s straight-talking R&D Director, David Lapworth, is overseeing the engineering side. Lapworth, in a previous stint at Prodrive, was responsible for the original Impreza WRC. This means that the P25’s evolution is backed by an authentic pedigree.
