Auto-express issue 739 p.14 has an article that says that subaru is working on a 3 litre turbo impreza putting out over 350BHP, but we will have to wait a few years for it to come to market. They reckon it will be in the next major revision for 2007.

Hope it is sooner!

Better start saving

There are rumours of a Legacy 3ltr single turbo too...
If it looks anything like the Legacy S401, I might get one!

Interesting but I would want 500bhp by the time it comes out

Gez

Very true! The all new shape is due in 2006/7. If it has a 3litre engine all the better i say.

They reckon the non-turbo version of the new 3.0 to be used in the legacy will put out 240 bhp so 500 should be easily achievable

perhaps then we could have a evenly matched 1 to 1 comparison agaist the M3, Merc AMG and the like.

Will the new engine be a Flat 6?

Surely we want a twin turbo supra & skyline killer

Chris you can have that now if you want it.

Yeah, they should really give up that 280 bhp gentlemaen's agreement or whatever it is. Give us powerful cars

The 3.0 legacy engine is a flat 6, hence the name H6-3.0.

It does seem to be a fair bit heavier than the 2.5 flat 4, as the kerbweights of the 2 cars are around 150-200kg different.

Yes, it is in a very low state of tune with the standard 208bhp, 280 would make my wife happier, rather than just pleased to burn up the Golf GTI at the lights

The H6 another Q car in the making that needs more oomph, as well as a manual gearbox; which is what FHI will have to do in addition to adding forced induction to the engine for the next shape Impreza.
