Subaru Impreza WRC2008 to make Acropolis Rally Debut


The Subaru World Rally Team and STI confirmed today that the all-new Impreza WRC2008 will make its debut on the seventh round of this year’s World Rally Championship, the famed Acropolis Rally in Greece that runs from May 29 to June 1, 2008. Subaru will reveal all the technical details during an official launch in Athens Greece on the evening of Wednesday 28 May, prior to the start of the rally.

Described by the Japanese carmaker as “the most radically different Subaru World Rally Car in 15 years”, the Impreza WRC2008 will be driven at the Acropolis Rally by Petter Solberg and Chris Atkinson. Interestingly, Subaru has dropped its classic blue and yellow scheme on the new Impreza WRC2008 for a more dramatic livery that combines blue and grey. -Continued

“We are very excited to be able to launch the all-new Impreza WRC2008 ahead of schedule” said David Richards, Subaru World Rally Team principal. “It is testament to the dedication and commitment of the team behind the scenes in the UK and at STI in Japan. Just as the latest Impreza road car represents a new era for Subaru so the WRC2008 represents a new era for all of us at the Subaru World Rally Team and I am confident that we will arrive in Greece able to fight competitively.”
