In particular, both models benefit from the 270 Hp Prodrive Performance Pack which increases power by 40 PS and torque by 74 lb ft to 310 lb ft. The result is a 0-60 mph (96 km/h) time reduced from 5.9 to 5.3 sec and a 0-100 mph (160 km/h) time of 13.9 instead of 14.4 sec. According to Subaru, mid-range response is also considerably improved. Other features include a lowered spring kit, ‘quickshift’ gearchange, special carpet mats, MOMO ‘Air-Race’ gear knob, larger-diameter 18x7.5ins GT1 alloy wheels and GB270 exterior badging and individually numbered interior plaque.

Specific to the Impreza GB270 saloon are a WRC-style rear spoiler, stainless-steel mesh front grille, STI front lip spoiler and silver-finished alloy wheels. As for the GB270 Sports Wagon, it’s equipped with a rear waist spoiler, front and rear aero splash guards, rear privacy glass, black stainless-steel mesh front grille and gloss-black alloy wheels.

The GB270 models can be ordered from July 10 with first deliveries planned for September 1st but you better hurry up because numbers will be strictly limited to 300 units for the Impreza GB270 saloon and 100 units for the Sports Wagon. Both models cost £22,995 (€34.030 or $46,250) which is £2,898 and £1,898 more than the standard Impreza WRX saloon and Sports Wagon respectively.
