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

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

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.

- 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
