Just ahead
of the September registration plate change, Subaru has come up with an offer
that will be hard to resist for die-hard petrolheads. They have reduced the
price of the basic Impreza WRX STI model to just £26,995. That’s a saving of some six
grand over the ‘pre-sale’ price.
And if the
total sum still sounds a bit rich, you can sign away your soul for under 300
quid a month.
Not content
with that, Subaru UK has created a further engine upgrade for the STI. For an
extra £1,599, customers can buy the 340R upgrade which oddly enough is 40 PS
more than the standard 300 PS engine. Both the 340R and 320R (introduced
last year) power upgrades can be applied retroactively without affecting a
car’s warranty.
The 340R
will accelerate from standstill to 60 mph in 4.7 seconds, an improvement of 0.5
seconds over the standard WRX STI. There is also even stronger in-gear
acceleration as a result of the improved torque, up from 407 to 490 Nm.
And the
clincher? There is a new exhaust system, which, according to Subaru, will
enhance that unique and iconic Subaru flat four burble.
Sounds
tempting, eh?
