Default Prodrive takes to the road

Prodrive, the company that runs the Subaru World Rally and Aston Martin Racing teams, is premiering a new road car, the P2.
The two-seater sports car has been developed by the motorsport and automotive technology specialist to showcase its technologies and engineering skills — having been designed and built in less than a year.
At its core, P2 uses an Impreza STi engine, transmission and four-wheel drive system. To this, Prodrive has added its own active handling system, ATD, and an engine turbo anti-lag system developed from its Subaru World Rally Cars, helping to give the lightweight car a predicted power to weight ratio approaching 260kW/ton.
Styling has been in the hands of Peter Stevens with the entire design, engineering and build of the car carried out at Prodrive’s facilities.
While there are currently no plans to put the car into production, if it were produced in volume Prodrive expects the car would be priced at approximately £40 000 (R450 000).
P2 will be unveiled by Prodrive chairman, David Richards, at the Autosport International Show on January 12.
