Prodrive’s new P25 may be obscenely expensive but it proved to be one of the highlights of this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed and while at the event, Carfection’s Henry Catchpole had the opportunity to check out the car in person.with the STi WRC rally car to create the ultimate driver’s car. Just 25 units will be built.
Underpinning the Prodrive P25 is an original two-door WRX chassis and while it features Subaru’s current 2.5-liter under the hood, this engine has been overhauled and sports a new motorsport-derived Garrett turbocharger, new lines, pistons, rods, and a bespoke valve train. There is also a high-performance intercooler and an Akrapovic exhaust made from a combination of titanium and stainless steel.
