Subaru Impreza WRX GB270 Final Edition Subaru Press Release:

BIG VALUE FROM FINAL-EDITION IMPREZA WRX

Subaru is guaranteeing customers exceptional value from the final-edition versions of its iconic Impreza 2.5 WRX saloon and Sports Wagon.

Called GB270, the last-of-the-line current Impreza offers around 7,600 GBP in extra equipment for the saloon and just under 7,000 GBP for the 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.

Named after Rally GB – Subaru's most successful WRC stage – and the 270 PS the Prodrive-uprated engine produces, the GB270 models can be ordered from July 10 with first deliveries planned for September 1.

Numbers will be strictly limited to 300 for the Impreza GB270 saloon and 100 for the Sports Wagon. Standard Prodrive Performance Pack

Both models benefit from the 270 PS Prodrive Performance Pack which boosts power by 40 PS and torque by a staggering 74 lb ft to 310 lb ft.

The result is a 0-60 mph time reduced from 5.9 to 5.3 seconds and a 0-100 mph time of 13.9 instead of 14.4 seconds. Mid-range response is substantially improved.

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.
