Subaru Impreza N2010 Launched by Prodrive, Pictures!

For all the customer teams competing in the 2010 Group N championships around the world – either the ones competing in the World Rally Championship, or the ones focusing on a national championship only – Prodrive has today announced the unveiling of its new Subaru Impreza N2010, its latest FIA specification group N rally car.

“The Impreza N2010 uses the new larger 33mm air restrictor, introduced by the FIA to help balance the performance of Group N and the unrestricted Super2000 rally cars. Increasing the restrictor diameter from 32 to 33mm, fitting high flow fuel injectors and recalibrating the ECU increases peak power by 20 bhp, but more significantly, improves torque and responsiveness throughout the rev range,” said the press release from Prodrive.

“The N2010 Ohlins dampers have been revised with extra travel front and rear, while all the suspension bushes have been strengthened,” added the statement from Banbury-based company.

The new car can therefore be used in both national and international rally events, as it is to receive the FIA homologation in due time. According to the Prodrive press release, the Impreza N2010 car has a starting price of £120,000, with the package including “insurance and system rebuilds.”

In addition, “Prodrive has introduced a financing option to enable the car to be leased over two years with an option to buy the car at the end of the agreement.”

“The engine and suspension changes make the N2010 far more competitive. On gravel the Impreza is certainly a match for any Super 2000, but it is on tarmac, that the additional engine performance will really come into its own and make the N2010 a competitive alternative to a Super 2000, but at about half the price and with significantly lower running costs,” said Graham Prew, Prodrive sales manager.
