Prodrive has created a Subaru Impreza N2010 rally car which meets the Group N regulations. The modified five-door Scooby is obviously for the enthusiast as mechanical and chassis upgrades have been added to the car.

There is now a new 33mm air restrictor, a high flow set of fuel injectors and a new ECU which boosts the 2.0-litre’s engine by 20-horsepower. The Prodrive company also added a new suspension kit with Ohlins dampers.

“The engine and suspension changes make the N2010 far more competitive,” said Graham Prew, Prodrive sales manager.

“On gravel the Impreza is certainly a match for any Super 2000, but it is on tarmac, that the additional engine performance will really come into its own and make the N2010 a competitive alternative to a Super 2000, but at about half the price and with significantly lower running costs,” Prew concluded.

Pricing starts at about £120,000, where finance options are available.
