Good to see Subaru/Prodrive acknowledging Richard Burns and with only 320 units it gives some exclusiveity to owners, with smaller numbers than the P1 (1000) RB5 (444) and WR1 (500).
says something for his achievements that he had two special editions named after him in such a short time.

I like the look of the car though. I'll admit I don't like the new car at all but that looks good

I have a Jap T20 but have always advocated the "UK" Car with PPP and to be honest, will always do so ![Big Grin](images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
Sorry IMHO, my T20 is far better but....... the UK Car will suit far more peeps than the JDM Sti etc.
Sadly a slight missing on IM's behalf![Mad](images/smilies/mad.gif)
The RB320 should been like a RB5's, a light weight version
I really wish IM(Subaru UK) had used a Spec C, UK'd (soften) and added spec as above
would have been awesome
and certainly would have considered it over the T20 ![Big Grin](images/smilies/biggrin.gif)

BTW. not beeing cynical but the new model lanched at the Geneva Motor show, Ok only the WRX and Duel TBh fuel Jobby, but STi will out in Oct 2007
Power to wieght is the be all, and end all

Very nice (nice web site too)....
IMHO Subaru should not be cashing in on the RB name, even though this I know is what we asked for. I know they are selling it as a loss (well less than they would normally), but it would have been nice to have seen something going to the charity...or have I missed something.
Awesome looking car though...
So, did the momentum of the Scoobynet RB idea bear fruit? Or was it already in the pipeline, and 'leaked' on here a while back to see what the reaction would be?

...Mark...you have indeed missed the point...Subaru have donated Car No.1, and this is going to be given away in a special raffle by Autosport magazine....the proceeds will go to the Richard Burns Foundation
... so I'd say that was quite a big charitable donation ![Big Grin](images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
