SUBARU is offering free performance upgrades for its iconic Impreza WRX and STi Type-UK, raising power to 265 and 305 PS respectively. The deal covers the three-month period of May, June and July - or while stocks last - and is worth £1,995 for the ST i and £1,600 on the WRX.
The Prodrive-developed Performance Packs are fitted by the dealer after registration and carry the full Subaru three year/60,000 mile warranty. It means the Impreza WRX STi Type-UK sees its power rise to 305 PS and torque leap from 253lb.ft resulting in a 0-60 mph time of 4.6 seconds and 0-100 mph in 12.2 seconds. Top speed is in excess of 155 mph.
Meanwhile, the standard WRX - available in both saloon and 5-door bodystyles - now has 265 PS and 257 lb.ft of torque. The 0-60 mph time is reduced from an already rapid 5.6 seconds to 4.8 seconds with 100 mph coming up in 14.1 seconds instead of 15.9 seconds.
Both Prodrive Performance Packs include a reprogrammed Electronic Control Unit (ECU) and free-flow exhaust system with a large single rear tailpipe. The Impreza WRX saloon costs £20,300 with the 5-door at £20.800 while the WRX STi Type-UK is £26,400.
