Is Subaru bringing back the WRX?

And why P25? It’s likely that’s a reference to the 25th anniversary of the WRC car and a logical follow-up to the limited-edition street model called P1 that Prodrive cooked up for Subaru in 2000.

Like the P25 appears to be, that used the two-door Impreza STI Type RA coupe body. The P1 had a styling makeover by McLaren F1 designer Peter Stevens and featured Subaru’s 2.0-liter turbocharged boxer engine with 280PS (206kW). It’s highly collectible today of course.

Will that motor make a comeback here, or will there be something more in tune with the times? If it hails from Banbury and has got Prodrive’s name on it, it’s sure to be more than interesting, Prodrive only has six World Rally titles, eight World Sportscar titles, six Le Mans titles and four British Touring Car titles to its name, after all .
