The newcomer will hit UK showrooms in September and will mark the swansong for the current model, as there"s an all-new Impreza lined up to arrive towards the end of 2007.
Externally, the S204 boasts a more discreet rear spoiler, brand new 18-inch alloy wheels and a lower front bumper. Inside, a pair of leather-clad Recaro seats enhance the cabin, which is otherwise based on the popular STi model.
The rally-bred machine can sprint from 0-60mph in only 4.5 seconds and hit 155mph. Clever dampers fitted to the body ensure it"s the best-handling Subaru ever, as the firm"s STi tuning division seeks to raise its standing within the industry.
Expect the S204 to be available in limited numbers, priced above the current flagship at around ÷£32,000.
