Description
Subaru Impreza WRX STI WR1
Rare opportunity to own a genuine UK Limited Edition WR1 - number 131 of just 500 ever produced. With approximately only 300 believed to remain on the road, this model becomes more collectible each year. Finished in the exclusive Ice Blue Metallic (paint code 23G) and equipped with the factory Prodrive Performance Pack (PPP), it delivers an impressive 320BHP and 280lb-ft/380nm of torque.
This example remains completely factory standard and was built to commemorate Petter Solberg's 2003 World Rally Championship victory. It retains all of its original features, including the 18" Prodrive speed line OZ Racing alloys, WR1-branded interior mats, intercooler water spray system, quick-ratio steering rack, revised ECU, upgraded Prodrive suspension, and the STi Driver Controlled Centre Differential (DCCD).
Spec & Mechanical Highlights:
- 2.0L Turbocharged Boxer Engine - 320BHP (PPP)

- Cambelt & Water Pump replaced just 500 miles ago at Riverside Racing in Speke, Liverpool
- Starts, drives and boosts faultlessly - sounds and feels superb

Service & Documentation
