We have here a few detail shots of a car that packs “supercar humbling pace” and will “offer performance-car fans the thrill of a lifetime”. The car in question is the Cosworth Impreza STI CS400, which will go on sale in June in the UK.
All we know now is that this joint-effort by Subaru and Cosworth will boast 395 bhp at 5,750 rpm, sufficient to dispatch the 0-100 km/h sprint in just 3.7 seconds. If you need a barometer, the Audi R8 V10 is slower than this mad Scooby by 0.2 seconds, so supercar humbling pace is no empty boast. The standard UK-spec Impreza WRX STI does 296 bhp at 6,000rpm and complets the century sprint in 5.2 seconds, so we’re looking at a big jump in performance here.
Going faster means stopping harder, and Subaru reveals that the Cosworth Impreza STI CS400 will feature a bespoke AP Racing brake package with six-pot callipers and huge 355 mm discs at the front. A wide range of further upgrades have been made to the suspension, exhaust and to the donor Impreza’s exterior and interior styling. Only 75 units of the Cosworth Impreza STI CS400 will be produced. Prices and further technical details will be announced closer to the launch date so stay tuned.

cdvR
waahh..is it RM 115k? =p
haha
Proton Neo R3 should take this as benchmarks.
they got the brake brandname already!
impressive..
Power!!!
very nice car..i mean the power.but i bet the whole car will be very nice too..
I love this version of Subaru STi, wish had more pictures and info here!
Motor image strategy in Malaysia is very unimpressive, taking the new 2010 STi selling at RM 290+K is unwise.
The problem with Motor Image is the lack of willingness to take a big share in Malaysian's market, the reasons is very clear – too much effort and too little return.
We will have limited choice of model to select.
and the price is………..a few bucks cheaper than a supercar
Didn't the last FQ400 match or even better the century sprint at 3.5s?
Perhaps not so much of a supercar killer, but some of us actually have V8eater writen on our otherwise stock looking 4G63T AWD powered cars…with power to back that up. Its one of the few cars that gets street cred from V8 crowd.
smart ke?
an Evo FQ400 challenger
Did ppl praise bcoz it bears Subaru name? and close their eyes for the cosworth?
because last time i check in F1 topic in this blog, some ppl questioning this Cosworth capability?
BTW, i think the japanese are sending message to the European… by saying "see, we dont have to make supercars to challenge you"
But then, they have a strange way to challenge the European…
Subaru sold 3730 cars in the UK in 2009: http://www.lingscars.com/uk_car_sales.php
In 2008 they announced that sales will hit 15,000 in 2010: http://paultan.org/2008/03/07/subaru-uk-sales-to-…
Wouldn't it be better to challange them by selling more cars? ;)
subaru finally wake up from their hot seat to rival fq400. well done!
aiyaa, where's the exterior pic?
This are just teasers, the car will be launched in June as stated
love it!!
Amazing stuff from SUBARU!
I think here we also can do the power & handling close to this MAD STI… but this time will be done by the official Subaru & cosworth enigne should be a 2.5L…. sure like to see it on June.
Ah Paul,
plz keep us posted TQ!!
Since Lotus has a good relationship with Cosworth
they should have just transplant a cosworth into the R3.
Then the 115K and all the sports tuning would have been justified.
Cosworth in an R3? That would cost you 315k instead. Haha.
yeah good :-)
Well, why transplant a cosworth into the R3? Campro CPS is good enough, furthermore if cosworth is being transplanted into the R3, i think the price would be most likely more than rm200k…..
Do you guys know how expensive Cosworth is worth?
so ah beng one haaaaa!
