Subaru's tribute to Burns

Johnathan · **Postat:** 2006-11-30, 18:30

Short of winning every rally in the championship, Subaru has come up with a pretty decent way of commerating rally hero Richard Burns - this tasty looking special-edition Impreza WRX STI.

Called the RB320, the limited-number car comes only in black, and is packed with kit, including the Prodrive Performance Pack. That means it packs 316bhp (320ps) and 332lb ft, so it will hot 60mph in 4.8sec, and 100mph in 12.2sec. It's also lowered even more than usual, and comes with 18in wheels. There are also a few interior tweaks, including an RB320-branded gearknob.

I think this is a great way to show respect for one of the greatest drivers.

I agree, and I think the Subaru looks reeaally good in black.. :) but I am guessing it will it only be a rhd car, witch is a shame..

"Richard Burns was born in Reading on the 17th January, 1971"
He was a local boy for me and I have to agree I think it's a brilliant way to honor a very talented driver.

As for the car, I think it looks absolutely gorgeous. That has to be the single most agressive impreza I've seen and you know it's going to be a sorted car.

I like! :)

If I may... I think the new model Impreza is far more good looking than the "old" MY04 and such...

The new model looks far more agressive with the STI looks. The old "frog eyes" doesn't scare anyone ;)

This model is a perfect tribute for one of the best rally drivers ever...

Too bad its only a UK model.. you get all the cool model imprezas.. :( ;)
