Prodrive P25
Prodrive (Subaru's partner in WRC, "official tuner" in the UK for some models and projects like the Isle of Man and Nurburgring project cars) just announced the P25 project.
The only information provided is an image and the phrase "An icon redefined, this is P25. 25/05/22" This could be a type of "restomod" on the 1st gen model, according to the picture, but will only know for sure in a few days. The 25 could indicate the 25 years since the launch of first WRC car in 1997.

Kind of depressing they don't even mention the P1. The car they made and on which they put their name. A name that directly ties to the name of this promotion. The 22B was a limited run circus freak from Japan while the P1 was a usable car.
Maybe this makes sense after all... |

are they building a car from the ground up? Or did they just buy a bunch of old 22b's and are going to modify them? Pretty confused at what their intent is here...

The semi-automatic paddle shift would be very different from a CVT. If it's like the gearbox they introduced into their WRC car in 1999 or 2000 and used it until 2008, it is basically more of a manual that is clutch-less instead of an automatic or CVT. Makes the most sense if Prodrive just buys up whichever decent condition coupe bodies they can find. Hell, they have the ability to restore beat up rally cars they used to run and GT endurance cars they currently run, so the bodies could probably even be in less than ideal conditions. Wouldn't imagine they would use what few 22Bs for this when they are already worth $300,000 and rising. I don't know if the British got the coupes in the base model like we did, or if they only got them as the Type-R model of the WRX STI. |

Prodrive is smart. They are taking advantage of the fact that there is no STI. I imagine a 22b bodied modern tech rally car for the streets...400hp, paddle shifting lightweight rocket that will cost sh**loads!!

i mean, they're only making 25 of them. They'd have sold for a ton with or without the sti.
