COSWORTH IMPREZA WILL HAVE SUPERCAR-HUMBLING PACE
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, and full details of pricing and technical specification will
be announced closer to the on-sale date.
