New Scooby ready for WRC
Friday, May 23rd, 2008 
For round seven of the World Rally Championship, you will see this car tearing about. Subaru is ready to unleash their latest Impreza STI on the world rally scene and they will bare all tech details on May28, the day before the rally so don’t forget to visit us then.
Subaru says the new car is “the most radically different Subaru World Rally Car in 15 years”, the Impreza WRC2008 will be driven at the Acropolis Rally by Petter Solberg and Chris Atkinson.
Also gone with the old car is the famous blue-yellow colour scheme, they went modern and chose grey on blue instead.
Prepped by Dave Richard’s outfit in the UK, this car should give us an idea why Subaru changed their mind and approach so radically and gave us a hatchback instead of a saloon. If it performs better then everything makes sense, if not…well back to the drawing boards boys…no you don’t get to go back to your computers…..you screwed up.
Here is what Dave Richards have to say about the car;
“We are very excited to be able to launch the all-new Impreza WRC2008 ahead of schedule.
“It is testament to the dedication and commitment of the team behind the scenes in the UK and at STI in Japan. Just as the latest Impreza road car represents a new era for Subaru so the WRC2008 represents a new era for all of us at the Subaru World Rally Team and I am confident that we will arrive in Greece able to fight competitively.
