The Subaru Impreza s204
The Subaru Impreza s204 continues Subaru's tradition of producing limited edition cars based on the Impreza, aimed squarly at the motoring enthusiast. The s204, limited to only 600 units, has an extra 40bhp compared to the standard Subaru Impreza WRX STi.
The s204 is available in silver, black and blue, and comes fitted with a six speed gearbox and the adjustable centre differential control, as per the standard WRX STi.
The Subaru Impreza s204 differs from the standard WRX STi externally by having a carbon front splitter, different rear wing and a rear wiper. The s204 runs on BBS alloys, and is subtly badged to differentiate it from the more run-of-the-mill Subaru Impreza WRX STi.
The s204 benefits from lower suspension, with many of the components made from aluminium, to reduce the unsprung weight of the car.
The s204 engine benfits from a cabin controlled IC spray, to help keep temperatures down during sustained high speed driving. The exhaust system is unique to the s204, and along with an ECU remap helps the Impreza add that extra 40bhp over the WRX STi.
The interior of the s204 is not that different from a WRX STi, once you are in the drivers seat, with just a few touches to make sure you know you are not in the standard car. However rear seat passengers will be envious of your carbon-fibre backed Recaro seats, offering the driver ample body support during high cornering speeds.
