Thought the half-million pound restomod Impreza was priced too high? Well, not so much...
Just ahead of its public unveiling at the Festival of Speed on Thursday, Prodrive confirmed that all 25 examples of its stunning P25 restomod are already spoken for. The firm admitted to PH at Goodwood it had pre-sold five cars to customers it had an existing relationship with, but following the- alongside studio pictures of what the model actually looks like - the rest were gone in just two days. “We haven’t known anything like it,” remarked Richard Thompson, Prodrive’s Chief Engineer.
The car on show at Goodwood - bodyshell zero - looks in fantastic condition given the scramble to be ready for the event, although Thompson confirms that there is much Millbrook-based calibration work still to do as they aim for a sign-off toward the end of summer, ahead of assembly in Q4. Nevertheless, because the P25 is based on the chassis of the two-door Subaru Impreza, the build-up even to this point has required extensive additional effort.
That remit has certainly included going to places the 22B could never have hoped to reach. Thompson noted that while the original special edition was based on the contemporaneous rally car, it was never truly optimised for its wider body. The P25 is. “All the kinematics, the track width, the wheelbase, the centre of gravity, weight distribution - all of those elements have been optimised. When you look at the car, the wheels are out at the edge of the wheel arches; it’s a true 1770mm wide car.
