The only UK model I can think of with a similar name is the UK300 which was, IIRC, a 4 door bug eye with some cosmetic mods such as lights etc.
Found some info here (I'm sure a search of this board woul dthrow up some also )

http://www.mudd90.freeserve.co.uk/news4.htm

The new Impreza WRX saloon is now available as a limited edition model with World Rally Car styling and the option of a 245 PS Prodrive performance upgrade. Limited to 300 units the UK300 is a joint project between engineers at Subaru (UK) Limited and Prodrive Limited of Banbury. The on-the-road price for the UK300 is £24995 on-the-road, £3500 more than the standard Impreza WRX. Packing 245 PS And 261 lb ft of torque from Optional Performance Pack, sure to be a popular option is the new Prodrive WR Sport performance pack which boosts mid-range power and torque by more than 20 per cent and transforms an already outstanding engine. Almost three seconds are taken off the 20 to 75 mph time in third gear which is now 11 seconds. Meanwhile, the 25 to 100 mph time in fourth gear comes down by almost four seconds to 25.5 seconds. The £1,600 Prodrive WR Sport performance pack option includes a reprogrammed ECU, uprated intercooler piping and free-flow exhaust system with a large tailpipe.

As Darren says it's just a dealer level badging trick, not an official model.
