WRX Prodrive Limited Edition (2001)

At the FIA African Rally Championship (ARC) in 2001, Schalk Burger and his co-driver Piet Swanepoel were African champions in the WRX. The software was initially adapted to the normal WRX. After all, 245 hp were tickled out. On the outside you can see the assembly of the UK300 rear wing. The black headlights and the Prodrive rear silencer were also installed. From the side and the rear you can see LTD stickers. The buyer could also choose whether he wanted a rally medal or opted for a certificate.

The acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h is 6.92 s (compared to 7.24 s for the original). The maximum speed is 232 km/h instead of the usual 227 km/h (measurements from the Drive magazine).

WRX Prodrive Edition (2006)

 

The WRX Prodrive marks the start of a relationship with the Oxfordshire, UK-based performance gurus which will soon be extended to other products in Subaru South Africa’s range.

Prodrive WRX models feature a number of visual changes which provide functional as well as aesthetic benefits. Depending on where the viewer is standing, the most obvious sign that this is no ordinary WRX could be the handsome 7-spoke Prodrive wheels, or the bespoke spoiler. The latter item was developed by Prodrive and while similar to that fitted to the STI, it features additional vertical stays, engineered to aid high speed stability by increasing down force but without increasing drag.

The Bridgestone Potenza tyres mounted on the eight-inch wide wheels measure 225/40/18 and along with ride height lowered by 25 mm - thanks to a Prodrive suspension package - enhance the Impreza’s level of road holding and steering response still further. Interior changes are extremely understated, and consist of a Prodrive gear knob milled from solid aluminium, and a Prodrive mat set.

WRX Club Spec 10 (2010)

 

As the number suggests, it is the latest in a long-running series of limited edition Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive Impreza WRXs, each of which has proved a retained value winner. The potent Impreza WRX Club Spec 10 adds several technical enhancements from the Subaru Tecnica International (STI) catalogue, plus luxury interior features. An STI front lip spoiler enhances aerodynamics and improves stability and cornering. A flexible strut tower bar helps to ensure the front wheels maintain excellent ground contact to improve cornering capacity, while delivering a vibrant and sharp steering response.

 

The flexible lower bar and front support kit add strength, reduce chassis flex and produce sharper steering. Lightweight, 17-inch Enkei alloy wheels are half an inch wider than the standard Impreza WRX rim. The extra width stiffens the sidewall, reduces deflection and produces more grip, especially when cornering.
Comfort is also a priority and the Impreza WRX Club Spec 10 gets factory-fitted leather seats, sunroof and satellite navigation.


Only 250 will be built and all feature special edition badging. The WRX Club Spec 10 is available in WR Blue, Obsidian Black and Satin White sedan only.

STI NR4 (2015)

 

In July 2015 Subaru of Australia announced the WRX STI NR4 racing car. It was available from October on. These cars were imported from Japan as base models and they are then submitted to the tender ministrations of Subaru’s racing partner Possum Bourne Motorsport (PBMS). Here the base model is transformed into the NR4, which is a purely competition race car.

 

The NR4 is named after the new FIA regulations on racing cars in Australia. The NR4 classification has replaced the outgoing N4 and R4 classes. They can race in WRC2, ERC2 regional and also progressive national championship races.

 

The NR4 is an absolute beast of a racing car that has a closer heritage to the Japanese street model. Power is provided by the Subaru 2.0 litre four cylinder turbocharged Boxer powerplant. This engine produces 227kW of power and 422Nm of torque. As a comparison, the Australian production car has a slightly more modest 221kW of power and 407Nm of torque. Although the Australian production model has a 2.5-litre engine, the NR4 has the 2.0 litre unit that has been chosen for the lighter weight and then raced tuned by the boffins at PBMS. This engine has three race only tiers and six option packs. The option packs cover the engine, braking, driveline, suspension and competition options for gravel or tarmac. This attention to detail is allowing a huge variety of options for setting the car up. The NR4 is available in both white and WR Blue.

 

It is aimed squarely at buyers that are amateurs through to professional racing teams. Subaru has a Tier 1 example that is being used for promotional purposes to demonstrate how the car would look and act as a club level racer. This model has the following equipment fitted: an FIA approved roll cage, OMP winged seats, OMP 6 point harnesses, OMP steering wheel, gunmetal grey interior paint, PBMS fibreglass console, PBMS seat runners, PBMS fibreglass door panels, PBMS fibreglass rear parcel tray, PBMS fibreglass radio panel, a PBMS fibreglass driver’s foot tray, airbag removal, window switch relocation and a removal of the interior sound deadening.

WRX STi Version und Type-RA (1993-2000)

 

In Japan there was a vast amount in different executions of the Impreza in the nineties. Indeed, they had the normal WRX like the european GT, but in Japan it had more HP (not least because of the 100-octane petrol usual there). However, the spoiler remained up to the last model year 2000 always the small one, with us famously from the model years 1996-98.

There came the "Type-RA" models which were equipped extremely spared to save weight. Thus these had basically no spoilers, no side skirts and were available only in white. There was radio, electric window lifters and air-conditioning only against surcharge. Because of another transmission it reaches the maximum speeds from 240 km/h only with 8,000 rpm. RA "racing-changed" stands for "Race Altered".

The STi version models were advancements of the WRX and had bigger spoilers than the WRX (in version I-IV our MY99/00 spoiler, in version V-VI an even bigger wing). In the beginning they had stronger engines than the stock WRX and some parts like outside mirror and side skirts were colour-coded. As if this was not enough, there were also hybrid forms like the "Type RA STi Version". Now this had again a spoiler and other equipment signs.

WRX Type-R STi Version III-VI (1996-2000)

 

The Type-R is equipped like the "normal" Japanese STi 4-door model, indeed, only from the version III available. The biggest exterior change is the silhouette: The Type-R is the first 2-door coupé of the Impreza which served later than presentation for the 22B and the P1. He had manual differentials as well as water injection on the loading air cooler to raise the achievement at short notice. The Type-R has no ABS.

WRX STi Spec C (2002)

 

To enter FIA-approved racing and rallying championships that take place around the world, cars must be homologated according to the FIA regulations. Group N (production cars) is one of the rally and off-road vehicle groups set forth by the FIA. Defined as large-scale series production touring cars, Group N homologation imposes strict limits on modifications to production models and is known as the category that best reflects the performance inherent to the basic production model.

 

Compared to the Impreza WRX STi, Impreza WRX STi spec C is about 90 kilograms lighter through the adaptation of lighter glass, a trunk lid composed of aluminum, and thinner roof construction.

 

A rear crossbar has been fitted to further improve body rigidity. The turbocharger in the Impreza WRX STi spec C uses precise ball bearings in the shaft to reduce friction, thereby offering a smooth and speedy turbo boost and providing ideal engine response. A large water reservoir for the intercooler water spray as well as an air-cooled engine oil cooler have been implemented to ensure stable engine performance.

The 17-inch aluminum-alloy wheels on the turbo-charged engine model add to its sporty image.

 

The Impreza TYPE EURO is offered with three engine configurations:

WRX STI Type RA-R (2018)

 

The TYPE RA-R, based on the WRX STI, is the complete model to commemorate STI’s 30th anniversary of its establishment in 1988. Developed under the concepts of “light weight”, “speed” and “enjoyment”, the TYPE RA-R pursues “Running, Turning and Stopping”, the fundamental performances of an automobile. With the application of lightweight parts and even taking some parts off from the base model, the TYPE RA-R saves 30kg of weight compared to the previous complete models “S208” and “S207”, and is also 10kg lighter than the base model WRX STI. Combined with lighter body is EJ20 Balanced BOXER engine, which has also been applied for S208, delivering the highest output among all the STI complete models. With the power-to-weight ratio exceeding that of S208, the Type RA-R brings “speed” and ”enjoyment” at the highest level STI complete models have ever brought.

 

The power unit enhancement the TYPE RA-R receives is not just EJ20 Balanced BOXER engine delivering 329PS. A performance shroud with high rigidity enables intercooler to work at its maximum cooling efficiency. A performance exhaust system with lowered backpressure also contributes to higher engine output and more direct acceleration response.

With these enhancements, the TYPE RA-R engine revs up smoothly and its exhaust note evokes high performance of the car. Dampers and coil springs are exclusively designed for TYPE RA-R. The car is equipped with Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires, which feature different compounds between the outer and inner parts of the tread and provide strong tire grip on both dry and wet road surfaces.
