We'll looks like some new font lights - again, but 330bhp !!!

and £29,995
anyone got some specs on this beauty??

zilch

Mikey, would like to see it up against the type 25, now thats the daddy..but then again i have not got behind the wheel of a WR1, suppose no one else as either .. it would be interesting to get the figures for performance on the WR1 in comparison to the Type 25, but then again there is 4K ish difference.. Does anyone have the performance targets for the WR1 against maybe a UK STI, JDM STI (300 bhp litchfield variant that is)?? it would be interesting to know.

Cheers

Jim

No it doesn't, only thing it has that can't be bought as an extra from the dealer is the DCCD, well not counting the colour of the paint if you include that

greasemonkey

It doesn't have 330bhp either, have you been reading netrumours.com again Mikey?

I understand that it has 330 ps, what does that equate to in good old fashioned BHP more importantly does anybody have an idea as to the torque figure

scooby-si

pmsl dont think so,where have you been for the last 5yrs its to thin to be the daddy

there is only 1 daddy and that ends in B

BedHog

1.0 Japanese PS = 0.98632 BHP

So thats 325.4856 BHP - not enough to argue about

chrisp

Subaru official figures are 320PS = 315.6bhp

WR1's the Daddy for me, hopefully soon

the type 25 is quoted as 350 "+" you notice the "+" as its more like 380 but they quote as 350 just to make sure the typical moaners dont get on their soapbox and stard complaining that its got less than the stated hp, thats more like the daddy if you want an out of the box car

keep hearing about the type 25 but i dont think i have seen one anyone got any pic's?

jason4656

have a look on litimport.co.uk or take a trip down to powerstation they built it along with litchfield imports, took a test drive last week, serious power with driveability, all you could want from a scooby really

Anyway, BHP is *NOT* important, torque is

The ultimate production Impreza has to be the Spec C there is no doubting that, its got considerably more differences and upgrades over the WR1 but its not to everyones taste as its a little harsh and can be unforgiving, the ultimate non-production Impreza has to fall to the Type 25 as this has had a lot of work put into it to get it to where it is now and with 350bhp its no slouch but the ultimate UK car will be the WR1, it will have the security of a very good warranty and dealer backup, but it will also only have 315bhp (320PS) and not 330bhp as people keep upping the power for some unknown reason

Anyone know what the realistic monthly running costs would be for a WR1?

i.e. 5 year loan, insurance, servicing?

greasemonkey

6 Pot: As Chris correctly commented, the rated output is 320ps, aka 315.6bhp or so. BTW, Rob, there's no such thing as "Japanese ps". ps stands for Panzerstuka, oops, sorry, Pferdestärke, and as such you can probably guess that it's a German originated, "European" measure of power output.

scooby-si

dream it should be the same as an sti over 5yrs, SHOULD BE,serviceing and all that should be the same as well!

iam not 100% on this as ive never bought a car on hp,


lol@ Panzerstuka

The WR1 AFAIK has a 5k interval between services, i know on my Spec C that the gearbox oil needs changing every 20000km (12.5k ish miles) so you will incure that as an extra expense (its for the A-DCCD) so overall your looking at a slightly higher servicing cost over a standard Sti type UK.

Tony

chrisp

mine get seviced every 1500 so that wouldnt bother me tbh

Chelspeed

Every 1500 miles? A service every 2 weeks would be a tad excessive for me! You need to get out and drive it more.

john banks

I think the T25 will absolutely annihilate the WR1

Until you drive a 2.5 Impreza you can only imagine. If you use the same sized turbo you get the torque far earlier with less lag and a far flatter profile for far longer at the top. If you use a slightly larger turbo you get a little bit of both.

With similar power and an extra 0.5 litres my car is devastatingly quicker than it ever was on 2.0 with the same turbo. But the T25 should have an easy 10% lead on the WR1, and the T25 is figured at Powerstation.

Anyone give a few examples of the spec you need to get that much power and torque at Powerstation?

Game, set and match IMHO, but we'll have to see.

chrisp

torque moves cars but bhp shifts em
