⭕ VEHICLE SUMMARY

A true Japanese performance icon, this rare UK-market P1 combines rally-bred engineering, turbocharged power, and unmistakable Impreza styling.

The Subaru Impreza P1 was introduced in 2000 as a limited-edition performance model, developed specifically for the UK market. Created through a collaboration between Subaru Tecnica International (STI) and British motorsport specialists Prodrive, the P1 brought rally-inspired engineering and focused performance to the road. Just 1,000 examples were produced, each built around the two-door Impreza Type R shell and finished in the distinctive Sonic Blue colour.

Under the bonnet sits a turbocharged 2.0-litre flat-four boxer engine, producing ~277bhp and sending power to all four wheels through a five-speed manual gearbox. Prodrive’s involvement extended beyond the engine, with revisions to the suspension, steering, and chassis helping give the P1 its distinctive handling characteristics.

The result was a particularly focused road car, drawing heavily on Subaru’s World Rally Championship success during the era: indeed, Autocar performance-tested one in period and recorded a 0-60mph time of 4.7 seconds, with a top speed of 155mph.

Today, the P1 is regarded as one of the most desirable UK-market Impreza variants, with its limited production run, Prodrive development, and connection to Subaru’s rallying heritage making it a particularly appealing modern classic. Coming from just over 6 years with our vendor, this year 2000 example is number 800 of the 1,000 produced and has covered ~72,000 miles.

It also benefits from a substantial engine rebuild carried out in 2014-16, alongside further supporting maintenance and upgrades during subsequent ownership.
