Why We Love It:

If you were going to pick the ultimate company to reimagine Subaru’s first-generation Impreza Coupe (type GM), then we suspect Prodrive would be the likely choice. This UK-based firm has been supporting racing and mainly the WRC since it was begun in 1984. This includes racing the 959, the MG Metro in Group B, the BMW M3 E30 in rally and the BTCC and Aston Martin at Le Mans to name just a few. However, it’s likely their 18 years associated with Subaru Rally and Colin McRae.

During that time, they also tuned Subarus. This only further solidified them as a go-to brand synonymous with Subaru performance. More recently, they’d announced their own reimagining series of cars where they take that first-generation Impreza and breath on it in decidedly lavish yet high-performance fashion. The result is what you see here, one of just 25 Impreza’s built to P25 specification.

The specification for the P25 is very much a rally car for the road. It boasts Standard Lightweight Package ; Carbon Roof Skin, Carbon Boot lid, Carbon Door Mirrors, Carbon Bonnet, Carbon Rear Wing Bespoke electrical harness and rally style center differential control, selectable driving modes, upgraded Audio and Infotainment system with digital cluster display, Power Controller, rear view camera and refined switch gears including the P25 Control Wheel. It’s also got a Competition Anti- Lag System (ALS) and Rally start launch control, Akrapović Titanium rear exhaust with silenced bypass system. The Standard Handling Package includes Upgraded Braking System, Hydraulic Handbrake Upgrade including EPBSteering upgrade -quick rack, plus a Bilstein adjustable suspension upgrade.

The car’s Sonic Blue Metallic paint over Dark Grey Alcantara / Black Leather trim with blue stitching is already handsome, though this one gets a host of options to make it even more special. These include:

• Sparco SPX Trimmed Front Seats £4000
• 2 x 4 Point harness £1200
• Supply and fit Roll Cage £4000
• Personalised wheel colour £1000
• Tarmac Splitter £1200
• Bespoke Car Cover £1000
• Rear Seats option £4000 ( although this car is fitted with the Rollcage Rear Seats are supplied also)
• Spare Wheel mounted in the boot with Quick Jack £2000
