SUBARU'S new-look Impreza WRX is now available with a 265bhp Performance Pack producing even more torque.

The maximum pulling power leaps to 257lb-ft at 3,500rpm compared to the STi's 243lb-ft at 4,000rpm and the regular WRX's figure of 221lb-ft at 4,000rpm.

Subaru says the result is a 0-60mph time of 4.8 seconds with the Prodrive-developed WRX Performance Pack and a 0-100mph recording of 14.1 seconds. The pack must be fitted after registration and comprises a reprogrammed Electronic Control Unit (ECU) and free-flow exhaust system with a large single tailpipe. The price includes VAT and fitting.
