THE BOND THAT PRODUCED A MONSTER....
The first result of an exciting partnership between Cosworth and Subaru UK has produced the Cosworth Impreza STi CS400. It is truly a purpose built machine in the form of a comprehensive Cosworth engineering programme, boasting supreme levels of pace that put it on a par with some the world’s greatest performance cars.
The CS400 sports an engine upgrade which produces 33% more power than the standard STi model, enabling this 4 seat family car to go from 0-62mph in just 3.7s. This searing pace is more than a match for some of the world’s most revered sports cars, including the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560 and Porsche 911 GT3.
Rather than concentrating solely on delivering more power, the CS400 has been engineered to deliver the full performance experience. In creating “The Ultimate Impreza” Cosworth has ensured that the CS400 employs simple, efficient enhancements in order to remain and as close as possible to the original design to guarantee reliability and easy maintenance at regular Subaru dealerships.
Scheduled for an exclusive launch only in the UK with a limited number of 75 vehicles planned, the Cosworth Impreza STi CS400 marks an exciting return of Cosworth to the daily roads in a manner of official production for since 1996.
