Much better down force mate

The UK300 was a joint project between engineers at Subaru (UK) Limited and Prodrive Limited of Banbury, with major styling work carried out by Peter Stevens who designed the famous McLaren F1 and Subaru WRC rally car. As it name suggests it was uniquely available in the UK and limited to 300 units.

Key changes include new headlamps featuring black gloss shells with twin high-intensity Hella light units identical to the Impreza rally car. Sitting above the twin lights are small diameter circular indicators. The new Peter Stevens designed front and rear aerodynamic aids reduce high-speed lift, enhancing tyre grip and handling control. For example, at 100 mph, front lift is reduced from 35.6 lbs to 27.8 lbs while rear lift goes down from 29.6 lbs to 20.7 lbs - a reduction of 25.6 per cent. Only one colour has been specified for the UK300 - WR Blue Mica - which is also extended to the WRX's standard deep side skirts

The UK300 also boasts gold-coloured OZ 10-spoke
alloy wheels measuring 18 ins by 7.5 ins and carrying the latest 225/40 Pirelli P-Zero Rosso tyres - up from the standard WRX's already generous 17 x 7 ins alloys with 215/45 tyres. Other exterior enhancements include white side indicators and white front markers

Not only the exterior and interior are upgraded but the
engine was fitted with the Prodrive WR Sport package. The secret to the Ł1,600 Prodrive WR Sport performance pack option is a reprogrammed Electronic Control Unit (ECU), uprated intercooler piping and free-flow exhaust system with a large single tailpipe

That package only takes it to 240bhp/260ftlb!!!! Basically not much more than a std escos small turbo and with 4x4 it saps that power, so yes compared to 400bhp f-car and a 530bhp merc it feels pedestrian!

Have you used it in the snow today as they are epic this weather virtually unstoppable as long as you drive sensible and have good tyres. Been out for fun in mine tonight, the cossie is all tucked up though waiting for better weather.
