It's more British love and "crazyness" towards Japaneses machines and we have to thank them for that! This time, it's Subaru UK and they will unveil three new Imprezas at the upcoming British International Motor Show.
Let's start with at beginning and the "low-key" version Impreza WRX-S, the "S" brings an additional 25hp to the engine, going from 230 to 255 and a slight boost in torque, good enough to make the car jump from 0 to 60 in just 5 and a half seconds instead of the "standard" 6.1 seconds.
Next on the list is the Impreza 330S, this one's an STi and offers, as you guessed, 330 horses. With this much power and an AWD system, anyone can rocket start in under 5 seconds, the most agile can even take it down to 4.4 seconds...and still enjoy a satellite navigation, a premium audio system, leather Recaro bucket seats etc etc...
That's the cake, the cherry on top is a potential "380S" version (that's not its name, or not officially, but rumors mention 380 horsepower). We really don't know anything about it except the fact that 90% of whatever goes by on the road has no chance against this beast...I reckon the 0-60 must be somewhere in the 3 seconds area...Gotta love the Brits!
