2005 SUBARU IMPREZA

By 2004, the second-generation WRX had seen a styling step-change from the original design, garnering the colloquial moniker of, initially, 'bug-eye' and post (another) facelift 'blob-eye', the latter being an altogether more handsome car, which was to remain in production for the following two years. For 2005, Subaru launched the Impreza WRX STi Type UK, which featured a new front sub-frame and uprated suspension components, along with a wider rear track, to improve the responsiveness of the already superb chassis. Considered a sweet spot amongst modern Impreza models, the WRX STi Type UK retained the venerable 262bhp flat-four 2-litre engine, which is often perceived as being superior to the later 2.5-litre models, in terms of reliability and tuneability. The WRX STi Type UK also featured a heavily revised drivetrain comprising front and rear limited-slip differentials and a Driver Controlled Centre Differential (DCCD) which allows the torque distribution to be adjusted between 35/65 and 50/50 front/rear. Added to this, you could option your Type UK to be factory-fitted with the Prodrive Performance Pack (PPP), which includes a re-calibrated ECU, an uprated exhaust system, and a higher capacity fuel pump which increases the engine power substantially to 301bhp, giving a 0-60mph time of 4.5 seconds, which is quick, even by today's standards. As with all rally-spec models, it is often the way that such cars simply cover the ground, at serious pace, inspiring confidence, even in the harshest conditions. This 2005 Graphite Black Example is presented in excellent condition throughout having covered just 34,000 miles from new and features the Prodrive Performance Pack a must have option.
