New Subaru Impreza WRC 2008 Revealed
Subaru has laid the finishing touches on their Subaru Impreza World Rally Car 2008 and the car will make its World Rally Championship (WRC) debut at the upcoming Acropolis Rally in Greece (starts May 29), round 7 on the WRC calender.
The Subaru Impreza WRC2008 is based on the hugely successful Subaru Impreza STI and will be piloted by Australian Chris Atkinson and Norwegian Petter Solberg. This is the first time that Subaru will use a hatchback model as their WRC representative and has been called ‘the most radically different Subaru World Rally Car in 15 years’ by the team. Subaru has painted the WRC car in a bold new color scheme which is still blue.
The new WRC 2008 is powered by a 2.0 liter horizontally opposed four-cylinder boxer engine producing 224 kW or about 300 hp. The car also features a longer wheelbase and shorter front and rear overhangs than its predecessor.
Subaru World Rally Team (SWRT) hopes to relive its glory days from the mid nineties when they took three consecutive manufacturers titles (1995, 96 and 97).
http://www.mike.vcn.com/tmp/ricer_civic_2.jpg that's a ricer buddy... not this... this is quite possibly the simplest body kit ever lol the simplest WORKING body kit in other words (rear diffusers and what not)
well, lets see 5 vents, two of which may actually have some benefit for the engine. A huge double spoiler. Plastered with sponsor stickers. oddly cut off body molding behind the front wheels. And at the end of the day, it's still a four door hatchback.
Should've stuck with the body coloured rear wing!
Hahaha...better tell my friend that the neon green stars and Subaru sticker job he did on his new Imprezza is all wrong! He will be p!ssed off to see this.
BTW...Unlike most other cars the Imprezza looks better with stickers all over them.
Am I the only one who thinks that rear white lights look awefull on a car. This car must be designed by someone with a bling-bling Vauxhall Astra.
this car looks like one person designed front, one person designed side and one person designed the rear. But that happens more often than not in autodesign actually

It would've looked better with the old neon green/yellow stars and stripes vinyl.
