Not impressed for £50K, front lip spoiler, grill kit, fog lights and Cosworth badges, £20K over what you would have paid for 330S for 70bhp, bigger brakes, different wheels and different seats. £27k for an sti gives you 330 bhp and 18" wheels at present. Far too much money IMHO for the Cosworth. I guess the exclusivity may sell it?
As the article says "though it still doesn’t look or feel like a 50-grand car. Which is what the CS400 is. £49,995 is a near doubling of the £27,590 a standard STI costs, leaving a yawning price gap between the two."
Have the remaining UK STI's been stripped and converted to Cosworth's or is this a genuine production run?

Plus, Cosworth don't work for free. In the £50k price tag, is their development costs.

This will always be an odd ball due to the small numbers being made.
Dont think it will bring that much to either brand, Subaru or Cosworth as this car is being made in such small numbers that its not going make a huge impact on the market.
Overall what is the purpose of the relationship between Subaru and Cosworth, what is their plan??

i think the sad fact is if IM and prodrive pulled there fingers out and did a run of of P'2 for say £30-£35000 we would of all been happy, but since leaving the wrc subaru have lost there way 
and i dont think this is a very good way of getting car fans back on broad.

We'll put it like this.
I myself have a 330S which in itself it the top of the range Euro model with different wheels and extra power.
Now the Cosworth look like its the standard UK model converted.
Those seats are just the basic seats recovered.
I really would have thought that for 50K your base car would have been the top of the range model so to speak.
So I suspect IM are just shifting old stock

It's been said all before:
1) It'll be great, no doubt.....maybe not as great as it should have been though!
2) 50k is too much for a car of this genre - end of!
3) Questionable VFM when you look at what can and has been achieved by other Tuners such as Litchfield
4) They'll sell them all without breaking sweat. To some, it'll be worth every penny for the exclusivity value alone. Good luck to em!
