ANDYJDMSTI Posted November 22, 2006 Posted November 22, 2006 Now this is one nice looking car...............i would have one!! http://www.foxcreative.co.uk/Resources/sub.jpeg SUBARU ANNOUNCES RALLY HERO SPECIAL EDITION 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 320 PS Prodrive Performance Pack, yet costs £29,995 on-the-road – an increase of only £3,500. Available only in Obsidian Black, the RB320 features bespoke 18 ins 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 320 PS at 6,000 rpm with torque leaping to 332 lb 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. And as a further incentive, those customers placing early orders with deposits will be offered a limited number of places at a special RB320 launch event next March at Prodrive’s test track in Warwickshire. Not only will RB320 fans take delivery of their cars at the circuit but will be able to 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 Subaru’s website. Finally, the first car is to be given away in a special raffle organised by Autosport magazine, donated by Subaru (UK) Limited. The proceeds will go to the Richard Burns Foundation which helps those suffering from serious injury and illness. Taken from General!
craig mac Posted November 22, 2006 Posted November 22, 2006 I think Wilky should get one free for his efforts with the RB day[]
ANDYJDMSTI Posted November 22, 2006 Author Posted November 22, 2006 I didn't have to look too hard, it was on a thread in General []
the squiggle Posted November 22, 2006 Posted November 22, 2006 Very nice indeed A fitting tribute to decent chap especially the 332lbs/ft bit
st3ph3n Posted November 22, 2006 Posted November 22, 2006 Stunning. But don't have 30K to splurge. I'll get into the raffle though.
st3ph3n Posted November 22, 2006 Posted November 22, 2006 Here we go kids - http://www.sidc.co.uk/article/default.asp?art_id=250 We'll be organising a register of RB320 owners on the website. Great car and a great way to honour Richard's memory.
STi_Bandit Posted November 22, 2006 Posted November 22, 2006 I like the look of that very very nice [], Bandit
westtra Posted November 22, 2006 Posted November 22, 2006 Very very nice, I want that for my xmas present.
wheelchairscooby Posted November 22, 2006 Posted November 22, 2006 another note to santa on the way really cool looking car
fai17 Posted November 22, 2006 Posted November 22, 2006 Can i get your old one please [] You'll need to ask nicer than that[]
dan_jess Posted November 22, 2006 Posted November 22, 2006 Very [H] Would be nice if the car was the same colour as the RB5 tho
~ ~ Cal ~~ Posted November 22, 2006 Posted November 22, 2006 Any idea what sorta rims this bad boy will be wearing ? I know they will be 18'' but wonder if they will be PFF7's or like those found on the Litchfield ( Enkei I think) CGS
st3ph3n Posted November 22, 2006 Posted November 22, 2006 Cal, I think the Litchfield has Speedline or Enkei 18" rims as an option, but comes with the standard a-line or spec c rims depending on base model, and they're 17" STI numbers. Which of course will probably be made by someone else. BBS springs to mind.
scoobyiain Posted November 22, 2006 Posted November 22, 2006 Very nice indeed, better start saving for this one
Gee Wr1 Posted November 22, 2006 Posted November 22, 2006 Just looks like any black sti really. As someone mentioned above it would have been better in the RB5 colour, then it would be more recognisable. As it is it'll be easy to stick on the grill mesh, wheels & lip spoiler & make any black sti look like it.
~ ~ Cal ~~ Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 Bigger Piccy for ya fellas ......... Cal
imprezapete Posted November 24, 2006 Posted November 24, 2006 God that looks very nice, Stealth sort of look is a [Y] for me. Get the exhaust very quiet with good performance as well and you have a right sly car for anyone wanting to play with you in it []
craigwrx Posted November 24, 2006 Posted November 24, 2006 Stunning. But don't have 30K to splurge.I'll get into the raffle though. Snap !
