Along with the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution, the Subaru Impreza is one of the most iconic rally-bred machines of the 1990’s. But even more than that, it ranks among the top cars that inspired an entire generation of kids to fall in love with cars in the first place.
Developed as a joint venture between the Japanese factory, Oxfordshire-based Prodrive (the people who helped Subaru to international rally success) and Subaru (UK), the P1 (Prodrive One) was offered only as a two-door saloon with a revised version of the rally-going engine with re-calibrated electronic controls to develop no less than 280bhp, 69bhp more than the standard Impreza Turbo. Combine that with a big-bore exhaust, quick-shift gear linkage, 17-inch titanium-finish alloy wheels and freshly tweaked suspension, and you’ve got the fundamentals of something rather special.
Subaru (UK) had one clear goal when developing the new P1. It was to make the top Impreza faster than the Lancer Evo VI produced by Mitsubishi.
The P1 was only ever offered in Sonic Blue, a colour similar to the World Rally cars, and the eagle-eyed will notice detail differences from the Impreza Turbo such as the front and rear spoilers styled by McLaren F1 designer Peter Stevens. The mirrors, door handles and side skirts are colour-matched to the body and the way ahead is lit by huge Hella 90mm driving lamps, again from the rally car. A rear window wiper on a saloon is an unusual but welcome feature.
The main interior changes of note for the P1 were superb Prodrive badged Recaro front seats which locate the driver an inch or two lower than in the Turbo, grey suede-effect trim Prodrive-badged floor and boot mats. Air conditioning was also standard and, given the popularity of the standard Turbo with the light-fingered, it was as well that the P1 had a full Thatcham Grade One alarm and immobilizer!
