To mark the end of the current model’s run, Subaru has released a new final-edition GB270 Impreza WRX saloon and sports wagon. Named after the UK’s Rally GB, Subaru’s most successful WRC event, the new GB270 comes equipped with a 266hp 2.5L boxer engine enhanced by motorsport company Prodrive.

Power is up 40hp over the standard WRX and torque is boosted by an additional 74lb-ft, now standing at 310lb-ft. The extra performance results in a 0 to 60mph time of 5.3 seconds versus 5.9 seconds for the regular model, and a 0–100mph time of 13.9 seconds instead of 14.4 seconds. Mid-range response is substantially improved as well.

Other features include a lowered spring kit, ‘quickshift’ gearchange, a MOMO gear knob and unique badging. The cars are further differentiated thanks to the stainless-steel mesh front grille, STI front lip spoiler and silver-finished 18in alloy wheels. Subaru will be limiting production to just 400 cars, which will go on sale in the UK only from the 10th of July.

    That one looks good, quite got into a great improvement. Subaru has been very competitive for the last few years. They had made impressive innovations on designs and on equipping them with superior quality parts, such as Subaru CV Boot, worth to be recognized. They captured the market of young and experienced buyers who were up to elegant and sporty car, with the best performance.
