Subaru Impreza RB320 CAR review

Another special edition Impreza. We must be into three figures by now

Probably. This one’s the RB320, built as a tribute to the late former WRC champ Richard Burns who died in 2005, hence the RB in the name. The 320 bit refers to the output in bhp and also the production run.

A tribute! It looks fantastic but it’s a bit macabre isn’t it, what with all that black?

Maybe, but since when have the words tasteful and Impreza been bedfellows? And we’re with you on the fantastic bit. You either love these rally replicas or hate them, but those of you who get the Impreza thing are sure to love it. Only the just-crashed-into-a-chicken run grille and the orange RB320 graphics on the side (looks like someone’s left a Post-It note on the door) met with any disapproval in the CAR office.
