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.

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?
