Sorry to affend any body but what makes a uk 300 so special?

Not asking in a bad way, because im looking to get one myself. Think there gorgous. But whats the differant between these an a normal wrx? Are they any more BHP etc?

Cheers

 

wrx is around 250bhp and the uk300 is 300bhp (supposed to be n e way?)

 

The UK300 is just a WRX with the same BHP as a WRX, be that PPP or otherwise.

 

You definitely mean a UK300 off of 2001 (bugeye) not a WRX300 off of 2005 (blobeye) I presume...?

 

Yes mate mean the UK 300 (bugeye)

 

Just styling differences mate. Other than that, its just a WRX.

 

Try 217bhp and 217bhp.

 

I think the '300' part refers to the number they built, nothing to do with the BHP ?

 

It was developed by Prodrive, and as the name suggests was only available in the UK with 300 cars built.

Exterior wise, they added the Prodrive WRC hella headlamps, 18inch OZ gold alloys, Prodrive front splitter and rear spoiler, colour-coded sideskirts, white markers and indicators.

Interior wise, they had blue buckets and doorcards like the STI.

A standard WRX had 218bhp but UK300s were fitted with PPP and had 245bhp out the box.

Think this is it.

 

Cut and pasted from ScoobyPedia:
Two special editions have been released in the UK based on the new age car. The first was the UK300, based closely on the MY01 WRX and released towards the end of 2001, shortly before the STI came out. This car featured a number of cosmetic enhancements over the WRX but was mechanically identical, though it was the first car to be available from Subaru with an officially sanctioned - though optional - power upgrade.

 

i had one of these and i think it looked lovely i never saw another one like it around i 2 years i owned it but like the other posts said it is only style differences ie - lights , bumpers , seats , decals , wheels , mats
now im thinking about it i wish i still had it but the government put an end to that no im part of the tdi brigade

 

Not all UK300 came with PPP, it was a dealer fit option at £1600. Back when it was released UK300 owners were first to receive the PPP package for the newage cars when normal WRX owners were forced to wait that bit longer.
