Now that looks sweeeeet

 

In the words of al pacino hooohaaaaa

 

- is it the same mechanically?

 

Woah! I want...

 

looks like an MG ZT....

..I'll get me coat

 

is there a 5 door wagon?

 

Was having a drool over this yesterday. There's an official micro-site here which I found linked off the Subaru Japan website. Rather Flash heavy though, and unfortunately mostly in Japanese ...

Anyone out there who could give us some idea of the specification of this nice beasty?

My thoughts exactly: looks good, but what will it DO?

Gotta do a 5dr.

gimmie gimmie gimmie

If not settle for 5dr blitzen.

 

Wow! Subaru have actually, for the first time, got a cohesive design "ethos" between the Legacy and the Impreza. They actually look like they belong to the same family.

Someone, somewhere, has been paying attention to the market

 

Looking through the site amongst the japanese text is states 293PS = 289 BHP IIRC. Looks like there's some mention in their of a new ECU. Couldn't see a torque figure though.

6-speed box, brembo brakes, etc.

Some specs

Motor 2.0 DOHC Twin Turbo flat four
Displacement 1994cc
Compression ratio 9.0:1
kw(ps) 216(295) @ 6400rpm
Torque: 343Nm @ 4400~5600rpm
Redline 7500

There has been an Impreza S201 and 202. And now the Legacy S401 but has there ever been a S301 ?

 

yeh, which means a "Type UK" version will only be 240 BHP ish with 300NM of torque, with a 12 month wait for the PPP to take it back upto Jap spec ;-)

Oh and you can bet your **** that will remove the rear windscreen wiper as well :-(

 

NOW THAT LOOKS NICE.... MAYBE CHEAPER ON THE OLD INSURANCE TOO

 

Doubt it Dave, asked for a quote on a GTB and it was £340 MORE than my 94 wrx wagon (jap)

 

Go to the link at the top of the thread - all the detail is there with lots of pics etc (in English, well mostly ENglish ).

Enjoy!

 

Nice 1 Tim!!! C U in Feb at RR Day, (IN THAT BEAST! LOL)

Cheers David.

 

The wheels look like anthracite versions of the 22B wheel?

 

<sigh> how I miss my S101 Justy...

 

LOL

 

David,
That would be so cool, just need those 6 numbers to *** up, perhaps this car would crack 300 @ Nobles ?
Cheers Tim

 

I guess the S301 would be a forester...

S401 specs look fantastic. Would make an excellent 2nd car!

 

Hi Tim, YES! if it would stay on the rollers! LOL.

David.

have u got yer water leak prob sorted ?

 

David,
I'm hoping it will be sorted this week, had a new thermostat arrived on Saturday but I,m also having some new belts on aircon and fans fitted plus a repaired bracket on the aircon. Hope the thermo will cure the coolant loss.
Cheers Tim
P.S. driving around in the wifes brand new Mini Cooper, its a really scream of a car, nor fast but handles a teat !!

 

I like handling teats too

 

the headlights look like those sticker kits you get for mondeos that you get from halfords

naa stick to the impreza
