S203 Breaks Cover!!!!!!!!!
Based on the WRX STI and features a raft of mechanical and cosmetic changes.
Externally its set apart from lesser models with a new rear wing, a front lip spoiler and BBS alloys. But its the work carried out under the skin that will set pulses racing.
Engineers have fitted a larger turbo, aspecially developed titanium exhaust and a retuned ECU along side a host of other upgrades.
The result is a 320 BHP power output and 422 Nm of torque.
Extensive chassis modifications and specially developed tyres are claimed to improve handling, and sources close to the project have hinted at a 0-60mph sprint time of less than 4.5 secs.
The only changes inside come with the addition of 2 fully reclining Recaro seats.
The S203 will go on sale in Japanese showrooms next week, with a production run of 555 examples and a price tag equivalent to £23,000. A handful of cars are likely to come to the UK through independant importers.

Seems a very conservative BHP figure if they've fitted a larger turbo etc.
Any idea if its still a twin scroll?
Any pics of the new spoilers???

'2 fully reclining Recaro seats. '
Does this mean this is a limited edition for that allows it to be used for '*******' then?

S203 was originally rumoured to bring the 2.5l to Japan. Obviously not!

Well, judging by the price of s202's when they came over, you'd probably do better getting a t25.
Although I'm sure the S202 was less than 555 cars?
