The Cosworth Subaru Impreza has been announced back in February and today the company has announced its name - the Cosworth Subaru Impreza STI CS400 - and its performance numbers. As the name implies, the Cosworth Subaru Impreza STI CS400 develops 400PS (395bhp) at 5,750rpm. However, the torque figure has not yet been announced. The company says the Cosworth Subaru Impreza STI CS400 is able to rocket from 0 to 62 mph in 3.7 seconds which brings it extremely close to the supercar realm. The standard car needs 5.2 seconds to reach the same speed.
Apart from the extra horses under its hood, the Cosworth Subaru Impreza STI CS400 will come equipped with a bespoke AP Racing brake package with 6-pot callipers and 355mm discs at the
front. The Cosworth Subaru Impreza STI CS400 also comes with a new suspension, a new exhaust system and new aerodynamics.
The Cosworth Subaru Impreza STI CS400 price has not been announced yet, but the company says it will only build 75 units and that they will go on sale in June this year.
Cosworth Press Release:
The result of one of the most eagerly anticipated automotive collaborations in recent times is
heading fast towards Subaru dealerships. The Cosworth Subaru 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 Subaru Impreza STI CS400 will be one of the most accelerative all-wheel-drive hatchbacks ever.
Subaru also reports that the Cosworth Subaru 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 Subaru Impreza STI CS400 will be produced, and full details of pricing and technical specification will be announced closer to the on-sale date.
