I see the dealers have got offical announcement of the new limted edition at last. Hardly any details, but I guess they will be as outlined in earlier posts on here. New colours and significant performance increases. 500 off for the UK.

Will it be good enough to tempt me out of my 350Z ?

I should think it will based on the same limited edition DCCD-A model that the rest of Europe are getting
Should have:
• Driver Controlled Centre Diff with Automatic Mode
• Mechanical rear diff
• 13.1 Quick steering rack
• New Limited Light blue Mica, Bright Red Mica and WR Blue colour choices. (Not sure how you upload pics)
• Anthracite Wheels (Gold on WR Blue Car)

The info to dealers doesnt seem to contain the info required, but read Iain's post and I guess he's spot on. The more Legacy's the dealer shifts the more Solbergs he might get, guess thats why they are teasing them with the release.

No Marc, it's your car that's a reshelled Justy. That's why there's so much space under the bonnet.

it is going to be 276BHP when it arives in the country, EU spec rules etc. Prodrive may pre-register them all which would then allow them to install the PPP equivilent mods to it. You will most likely be looking at a 330BHP package, if they push the spec to what is achieveable and reliable for a 3 year waranty.

It's obviously speculation right now what precisely it will have, but i would imagine Iain Litchfield is pretty close to the mark.

Prices, you are looking at £30K plus based on the history of Prodrive developed packages, with maybe some optional extras like diferent wing packages (WRC replica maybe?) to take the price into the £35K region.

Of course everything i just wrote could be wrong.
