Default have subaru got there act back together ??cosworth impreza !!

was just having a gander on subaru website , and came across the new limited edition ............


cosworth impreza *** !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
COSWORTH IMPREZA WILL HAVE SUPERCAR-HUMBLING PACE.

Wednesday 31st March 2010


The result of one of the most eagerly anticipated automotive collaborations in recent times is heading fast towards Subaru dealerships.
The Cosworth Impreza STI CS400 officially goes on sale in June, and is set to offer performance-car fans the thrill of a lifetime.

Subaru has confirmed the car will boast an impressive 400PS (395bhp) at 5,750rpm, sufficient to dispatch the 0-62mph sprint in just 3.7 seconds (compared to 300PS / 296bhp at 6,000rpm, and 5.2 seconds for the standard Impreza WRX STI). This ensures the Cosworth-tuned car will be one of the most accelerative all-wheel-drive hatchbacks ever.
Subaru also reports that the Cosworth Impreza STI CS400 will feature a bespoke brake package – with six-pot callipers and 355mm discs at the front – developed in partnership with AP Racing, giving the car prodigious stopping power.

Coventry-based AP Racing is a leading supplier of brake and clutch components to teams in the Formula One Championship and the World Rally Championship, as well as to leading supercar brands including Bugatti. A wide range of further upgrades have been made to the suspension, exhaust and to the donor Impreza’s exterior and interior styling.
An exclusive, limited edition run of 75 Cosworth Impreza STI CS400s will be produced,.

Judging by the testing June is a bit optimistic.

I want to see the stig race that around the top gear track against an Evo X FQ400.

Got a feeling that Mr Clarkson will eat his words about Subaru being left behind by Mitsubishi.

A fact a lot of hatch haters keep forgetting! The 300bhp STI lapped quicker than the 300bhp Evo X... But in true TG propaganda, they compared it to the 360 evo X .

The current STI is plenty good enough, the Cosworth add on's will make it more focused and appealing but with a 50k price tag quite exclusive too...
