that prodrive car, had nothing to do with the STi...

edit:ok i stand corrected.

 

the prodive car you are talking about is not a impreza wrx sti, it is based off of a smaller subaru that they cut the center out of reweld it all up and add an sti drivetrain, thats the short version of it.....well here is the article on the p2 that you are refering to
Prodrive is a company more usually associated with Subaru World Rally cars, but it's put all of its talents on show in a two-seat sports car.

The P2 sports car uses a Subaru Impreza STi's engine and four-wheel drive system, along with some Prodrive technology.

Prodrive, which is based in Banbury, Oxfordshire, has added its own tweaks to the turbo to avoid the delay in response often found in turbocharged cars.

There's also Prodive's Active Torque Dynamics to split the engine's power most effectively between the front and rear axles.

Thanks to the P2's light weight, it has a power-to-weight ratio of 350bhp per tonne.

The light weight and power sees the P2 go from rest to 62mph in less than four seconds and top 175mph.

Prodrive has modified a Subaru R1 supermini's chassis to accept the STi mechanicals, while the styling has been penned by Brit Peter Stevens.

Inside, the P2 uses the dash and seats from the Impreza.

There are no plans to build the P2 at the moment, but Prodrive says that if a manufacturer was interested in producing the P2, it would have a price tag of around £40,000.

 

terrible.

 

that is probably the ugliest improvement to the WRX i've ever seen...first they make it look ugly on the front of the new STI now this...i give it 2 ****s down \/ \/

 

I really don't see how you guys can tell so much from those pictures. The majority of it is covered and there is no telling what they have grafted on to distort the shape of the car under those covers especially in the front.

 

Whoops.. edited since someone already covered what the Prodrive p2 is.

That new WRX resembles the audi a3. But maybe an ugly sister. Bleh!

 

Thank God I bought an 05.....

 

i guess im the only one who likes it

 

Looks gat. Prolly not even going to be what it looks like.

 

..LMAO. me to!

 

Prodrive sti is not faster than the IX MR, I have the DVD.

 

?

 

yep like Bush..... no more comment

 

haha, when i think squinting and confusion, GWB is the first thing that usually comes to my mind.

 

Correction

I don't know about the IX MR but it's half a second faster than the FQ400 according to Top Gear.

But then again, nothing to be proud of, it's not a production car.
