Nope limited edition (300 made). Standard WRX with different head lights and rear spoiler. Probably a few other cosmetic bits and bobs

Some but not all were fitted with the PPP bringing power to 260bhp ish.

looks like this

IMHO a very expensive & overpriced car considering that shortly afterwards the STI Type UK was released with more power,better brakes,gearbox,diffs,etc for less money.

See this site for more detailed info ...

I agree as new was slightly over priced but residuals are pretty strong at the moment ... but a quality motor all the same

One of the rearest Scoobies ever produced. Less than 300 now as I know of at least 4 that have been written off.

Cool

Ian, The Uk300 was as Mark described based on a 2001 WRX with the following enhancements. Front WRC lights, Front black bib spoiler, different rear wing, (designed by Peter Stevens), 18" Oz gold alloys, colour coded sills, STI interior, UK300 badged mat set, UK300 badged boot mat. At the time of release UK300 owners were gven priority over the PPP (Prodrive Performance Package)@ £1600 which boosted power to 245BHP with about 260lbf torque. Only 300 were produced with special decals on rear, sides and intercooler, inside is a badge with the cars unique number.
The car was marketed by Subaru a a WRC lookalike.
