absolutely stunning!!

I'm just not feeling it. Still a classic man

 

2 door classic all the way for me too but that is ticking all the right boxes for me just **** that none are available for uk, the colour 😍

 

That looks mental. None coming to the UK officially though

 

In all seriousness, what does this car offer that a 12 or 13 year-old S203 or S204 doesn't?

 

Would take a blob S203 over that in a heartbeat

 

Some of those parts need to make their way onto my MY16 STI.

 

So what do we recon landed OTR price will be for one from new?

 

40k (Min)

 

i guessed 50k, but a mate is seriously thinking about doing it.

 

Well unless he's in the lottery for it and can get it registered in Japan first - not a chance.

 

sure a couple will pop up for sale, always does for special editions, just depends on price.

 

45k for a NBR Edition before you ship it over but as mentioned if only you win the lottery. Guess re-sell values would be extremely high with the amount of demand there is.

It does look nice but tbh other than cosmetics, there's not much else different compared to previous S models to warrant the price tag. Think Subaru UK should release another limited edition Impreza similar to the CS400 power wise just without the £50k price tag.

 

S208 changes include, in a nutshell:
- Blue printed, balanced engine
- Special ECU tune to 330 PS
- Bilstein suspension front & rear (DampMatic® II)
- BBS 19 inch wheels
- Suspension bits from the STI catalog (pillow-ball bushings, lateral links etc.)
- STI high flow exhaust
- Quick steering rack (11:1)
- carbon aero bits (front lip, trunk lip, rear wing)
- carbon roof

Plus tons of minor details
