Sparky Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 Source-Pistonheads Subaru has announced a new special edition Impreza WRX STI in memory of rally hero Richard Burns who died in November last year of cancer.Called the RB320, the new car features around £6,000 worth of extra equipment including the 316bhp Prodrive Performance Pack, yet costs £29,995 on-the-road â?? an increase of only £3,500.Available only in Obsidian Black, the RB320 features bespoke 18-inch alloy wheels and specially developed Prodrive suspension comprising Bilstein dampers, a sports spring kit with revised rear anti-roll bar and a ride height lowered by 30 mm at the front and 10 mm at the rear.Also standard on the RB320 are a chrome mesh front grille, front lip spoiler, quickshift gearchange, side sill plates and RB320-branded gear knob, carpet mats and exclusive exterior badging. Each owner will also receive an individually numbered black alloy tax disc holder.The PPP boosts power to 316bhp at 6,000 rpm with torque leaping to 332lb-ft at 3,700 rpm. This reduces the 0-60 mph time to 4.8 seconds with a 0-100 mph time of 12.2 seconds.Subaru offered an incentive to buy early by offering customers placing early orders with deposits one of a limited number of places at a special RB320 launch event next March at Prodriveâ??s test track in Warwickshire. Buyers of the RB320 will take delivery of their cars at the circuit and drive demonstration STIs around the track and meet rally celebrities. In addition, customers will also be able to register on-line and reserve the limited-edition number of their choice via a special sub-section of Subaruâ??s website.The first car is to be given away in a special raffle organised by Autosport magazine, donated by Subaru UK. The proceeds will go to the Richard Burns Foundation which helps those suffering from serious injury and illness.Subaru rally ace, Richard Burns â?? holder of the FIA World Rally Championship driverâ??s title â?? died in November 2005 of brain cancer at the age of 32.I think it looks absolutely awesome and burnsy was a legend...RIP Quote Link to post Share on other sites
