Very rare!! Lovely car... One on autotrader atm for 13K -

Auto Trader UK - SUBARU IMPREZA WRX STI S201 ONLY ONE IN THE COUNTRY.

 

he tells me its over 500bhp ugly or not youve got to be impressed ,sending me some pics will put them up

 

Its basically a blinged up version 6 STI, more agressive map and that stupid body kit, rated at 300bhp (love to see it on a dyno, bet it wont make that )
For 500bhp it will need a hell of a lot of work, they suffer exactly the same problems all other classic's do, clutches, gearboxes, maf sensors etc.

nasty nasty nasty

500bhp or not, your still gonna have to get out of it now and again and see it from the outside

 

thats the ugliest car in the world? I want them seats though...

 

Ugly. Has been said before

S201 is actually based on the version 6 sti ra limited.

And gets the proper sti quickrack and the helical front diff, also came with sti adjustable suspension.......not forgetting the extreme bodykit!!

 

got some picks today will post them later, its got shot of the body kit and got full monza now

 

Seems odd to replace an ugly manufacturer bodykit for an ugly aftermarket bodykit.

What colour is it and do you have an engine shot?

 

But it doesnt have the aerial on the A-pillar, neither does it have a roof vent....

 

Where did he bring it from?

 

The shell is a normal version 6 STI shell, the running gear is from a version 6 STI type RA limited
The only one they ever got right was the S202 all the rest were not the RA/Spec C shells but had the running gear.

Have to agree with Tonyburns....the S202 is next on my list.
