New Impreza World Rally Car gets the hatchback look
May 28th, 2008 by Motor Dude
Subaru has unveiled its new generation All-Wheel Drive Impreza World Rally Car 2008, in time for its competitive debut at this month’s Acropolis Rally in Greece.
This is the first time ever that the Subaru World Rally Team (SWRT) will use a hatchback design, and follows a successful research, development and testing phase. The Impreza WRC 2008 will be driven by Australia’s Chris Atkinson and Norwegian Petter Solberg in the Acropolis Rally starting 29 May.
The car features a longer wheelbase, with shorter front and rear overhangs than the previous model. The rear wing is fitted to the tailgate of the new car, for optimum aerodynamic performance. The new Impreza WRC is based on the road-going Impreza WRX STI, which launched in February.
It is powered by a turbocharged 2.0 litre horizontally opposed four-cylinder boxer engine producing around 224 kW of power.
