Super Scooby by Cosworth finally unveiled


Black is obviously the special edition colour for 2010. Hot on the heels of the Ford Focus RS500 – see posting of 5 April – comes the Cosworth Impreza STI CS400 (above). It’s the car that Subaru has been drip-feeding us information on over the last few weeks, and which I’ve written about on this blog a couple of times. It promises to be a bit of a brute; 400bhp delivered to all four wheels via a six-speed manual transmission to produce a 0-62mph time of 3.7 seconds. This is the first genuine Cosworth-developed road car since 1996, and features a host of bespoke components in the engine, turbo system, exhaust, suspension, brakes and wheels. There are also subtle improvements to the exterior and interior styling. Discreet Cosworth badging is carried on the lower grille, front seats, brake callipers and floor mats, with individually numbered plaques fitted on the engine and door sills. Each STI CS400 is supplied with a numbered certificate of authenticity. If you want one you’ll have to be quick; only 75 are being made exclusively for the UK market. Yours for £49,995.
