Ok, my mistake, not the wrc car (as i was told by an austrlian lady with her husband - danny murhphy, also subaru)
but it is in fact the first pcwrc car to be used in competition. (production car world rally championship) of which Arai is a 2 times world champion. and the 0 car isnt a competing car, whoever said it was.......

sorry for all the confusion, arais driving in sweden tomorrow, hopefully we'll get a good result

No wrong again mate.

The week before Arai won this rally, Nasser Al Attiyah won the Qatar Rally - 1st Round of the Middle East Championship; driving a new N14 Subaru Impreza Hatch.

However both Arai and Al-Attiyah will be competing in Sweden, both with N14's

I'll just add that everyone is correct - this is not the new WRC car, and there are many changes from the images you see here and the new car, which we will be launching later this season. The bonnet scoop is one such reason, and I wondered how long before people picked up on that. Likewise, there is other misinformation on here regarding certain elements of the car which, since we have not finalised them, it is funny to see how people can comment on what it looks it when we have yet to decide!

As always, it keeps the fans amongst us wondering - you wonder when it will come and what it will look like, I wonder what you lot think!

DCR59 is correct in that Nasser was the first user of the new car shaped car (N14) and won with it. This car he used was the actual car we had on the stand at Autosport, as it was the first one in existence.

Just to clarify a few points...
