The Nurburgring logo is a nice touch...



So with that sticker on the bootlid, the car must have been testing on the track it's self as a proving ground.

Tony, those sites are STILL only the Spec C, not the Spec C Type RA!

Tony I think maybe you have misunderstood what Andy said, we all know the spec of the MY05 Spec C (it's been on litchfilelds site for a while) what we are talking about is the new *new* model that has just been released in Japan called the Spec C RA.

You guys

It is confusing though as even on the paper work from Subaru it lists the MY03 & MY05 cars as “ Subaru Impreza WRX STI Type RA Spec C….” Maybe this new one will be “….Type RA Spec C Type RA”

There are basically 3 versions of the Spec C:
• 16” Spec C which is stripped down motorsport model
• 17” Spec C which adds Brembos, A-DCCD, 12litre water tank, STI interior etc etc
• Then there are the limited run models which basically add back most of the normal luxury features like Air Con and Electric windows etc.

So far we've had the Spec C “Limited” in the MY03 cars then the “WR Limited” and now the “Type RA”.

I quiet like how rare these limited run cars are, there will only be a handful of WR Ltds in the country and I should think there are only about 30-40 original Spec C Limiteds in the UK.

Oh you do get a roof vent and oil cooler as standard though

The only extras you will get on any ltd version Spec C will be all the electrics (radio and aircon inc), plus the body kit, you wont gain any of the soundproofing, that includes the boot which will still be bear, and to be honest, you dont miss them

Considering it has just been released in Japan, I'd say December is a tad optimistic especially if you need a different model report. Those swines at the SVA office may insist on one as the name will be different

Indeed they have been. Subaru have recently built a test centre at the 'ring for these cars. On my trip back at easter i met the japanese test driver of this particular car model and had a chat about the changes they were making to the spec based on the testing at the 'ring. Just after i left they broke the lap record for an Impreza, with the first sub 8 minute lap of the circuit.

I would love to own this particular Ltd edition version, it would save me £5 in ring stickers from the garage.

And with only 300, they'll be rare too.
