Prodrive P25

The Prodrive P25 is a limited road car that Prodrive launched 25 years after the Subaru Impreza WRC97 won the manufacturers' title in its first season. Only 25 were made, in right and left hand drive, as a modern reinterpretation of the rally car for the road. Peter Stevens, who drew the original Impreza WRC, restyled the body, and Technical Director David Lapworth oversaw the engineering. Carbon composite for the boot, bonnet, roof, sills, bumpers and rear wing keeps the weight below 1,200 kg. The engine is a new Prodrive built 2.5 litre turbocharged four-cylinder boxer based on the EJ25, which Prodrive rates at 450 bhp, with a six-speed sequential gearbox, launch control and an anti-lag system. Motor Sport magazine reported a launch price of 552,000 pounds including VAT and quoted 400 bhp, a difference from Prodrive's own figure.
