Description
The S201 was a factory tuned car based on the GC8 Impreza, with STI putting all its know-how and expertise into creating a superb on-road sport car. Engine output was increased to 300 PS using both a special sport ECU and modifications to the intake and exhaust systems. Chassis performance was enhanced with reinforced suspension to adjust car height, a rear full pillow lateral link, and rear full pillow trailing link, while 16-inch forged aluminium wheels, developed jointly with RAYS were fitted.
The drive system featured a front helical LSD. In addition to a front aero bumper with integrated grill, a large air scoop, bullet door mirrors, side skirts and rear door spats, and double-wing rear spoiler, the diffuser-shaped rear aero bumper created a powerful form. As a result, this vehicle boasted a Spartan image in both its performance and appearance.
It was the last of the line for Subaru with this model and wow, what a statement they made.
I have been searching for this car for years and couldn’t believe my luck when in auction was not only the rarest, but it was also the nicest of any Impreza being a Grade 4.
Supplied with a complete book pack and service information and a warranty of 3 months which can be upgraded to 1 or 2 years.

Compared to the less powerful and less exclusive 22B this S201 limited edition 61/ 300 looks incredible value and benefits from being VAT Qualifying so exporters and collectors can reclaim 20% and pay taxes locally in their own country - a huge saving.
there will always be 22B's for sale but i doubt you will ever see another S201.
