5/5/2005 -- Subaru in the UK is offering free performance upgrades for its iconic Impreza WRX and STi Type-UK, raising power to 265 and 305 bhp respectively.
The deal covers the three-month period of May, June and July � or while stocks last � and is worth �1,995 for the STi and �1,600 on the WRX.
The Prodrive-developed Performance Packs are fitted by the dealer after registration and carry the full Subaru three year/60,000 mile warranty.
It means the Impreza WRX STi Type-UK sees its power rise to 305 bhp and torque leap from 253 lb-ft to 299 lb-ft resulting in a 0-60 mph time of 4.6 seconds and
0-100 mph in 12.2 seconds. Top speed is in excess of 155 mph.
Meanwhile, the standard WRX � available in both saloon and 5-door bodystyles � now has 265 bhp and 257 lb-ft of torque. The 0-60 mph time is reduced from an already rapid 5.6 seconds to 4.8 seconds with 100 mph coming up in 14.1 seconds instead of 15.9 seconds.
Both Prodrive Performance Packs include a reprogrammed Electronic Control Unit (ECU) and free-flow exhaust system with a large single rear tailpipe.
The Impreza WRX saloon costs �20,300 with the 5-door at �20,800 while the WRX STi Type-UK is �26,400 (all prices On-The-Road).
