Here is the biggy

Only 300 examples of the RA-R will be produced, with 50 of these painted Astral yellow. The model is likely to be priced at around £50,000. You could get a Type 25 new and have plenty of change!!!

Just what was in the Autoexpress link. I just cut and paste. Remember what usually cost $40000 in US or equivalent in Japan is normally the same but in pounds over here. Can you see the auto express link. As I just cut and pasted it

Here it is again in more detail hopefully it's euro's but looks like pound to me

And if the bootlid badge is difficult to grasp, so is the acceleration. The firm's engineers have tweaked the rally-derived 2.0-litre flat-four engine's turbo­charger and fitted a new exhaust system. The result is 320bhp and 432Nm of torque - enough punch for a 0-60mph sprint time of 4.5 seconds and a 155mph top speed.
This latest special edition is based on the Impreza S204 revealed last year, but the RA-R is much more driver-focused. It gets special new springs, extra-thick anti-roll bars and Brembo brakes with six-piston calipers and huge 18-inch discs up front.
The biggest hints that the RA-R is different from any other Impreza STi lie in its white wheels, pink highlighted grille and the lack of a rear spoiler. There's also an underbody diffuser, which significantly improves high-speed stability.
Only 300 examples of the RA-R will be produced, with 50 of these painted Astral yellow. The model is likely to be priced at around £50,000.

And 18" brake discs? Think they've got a few things wrong. Surely not?!
