GB270 Impreza WRX saloon and sports wagon

To mark the end of the current model's run, Subaru has released a new final-edition GB270 Impreza WRX saloon and sports wagon. This is a very limited edition. Numbers will be strictly limited to 300 for the Impreza GB270 saloon and only 100 for the Sports Wagon. The new GB270 comes equipped with a 266hp 2.5L boxer engine enhanced by motorsport company Prodrive.

Subaru is guaranteeing customers exceptional value from the final-edition versions of its iconic Impreza 2.5 WRX saloon and Sports Wagon. Both models cost £22,995 on-the-road - only £2,898 and £1,898 more than the standard Impreza WRX saloon and Sports Wagon respectively. Called GB270, the last-of-the-line current Impreza offers around £7,600 in extra equipment for the saloon and just under £7,000 for the Sports Wagon.

Both models benefit from the 270 PS Prodrive Performance Pack.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 to100mph time of 13.9 seconds instead of 14.4 seconds. Mid-range response is substantially improved as well.

Other shared features include a lowered spring kit, "quickshift" gearchange, special carpet mats, MOMO "Air-Race" gear knob, larger-diameter 18x7.5ins GT1 alloy wheels and GB270 exterior badging and individually numbered interior plaque. The cars are further differentiated thanks to the stainless-steel mesh front grille, STI front lip spoiler and silver-finished 18in alloy wheels.
