Subaru releases Impreza WRC2008 ahead of launch at Acropolis rally

Next week's Acropolis Rally in Greece will be the first event in the 2008 WRC season to feature Subaru's new rally car. The Impreza Rally WRC2008 car was originally previewed at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September, but Subaru has yet to announce the final specifications of its new rally rocket. Obviously, Prodrive has had its hand in developing the new racer, but a BOS sticker indicates that Subaru will be utilizing the French outfit's dampers. Petter Solberg and Chris Atkinson will pilot the new Impreza in Greece and Prodrive head David Richards is convinced that this is "the most radically different Subaru World Rally Car in 15 years." We're looking forward to seeing how it fares next week.

EDIT - I think everybody knows my personal stance on the 2008 Impreza:

it's gonna have to grow on me. that goes double for that rear wing from hell.

can't wait to see her in motion.

<--- likes a lady who isn't afraid to get dirty.

I still cannot get around the hatch. I'm trying to like it but then the hatch gets in the way.

Haha wing looks familiar.




I like it though. I just wish subaru was sticking with the Blue/Gold rally colors though.. eh I guess they're trying to get "edgier"

the new WRX WRC is blue and gold. ? the wing design with multiple uprights was first used on the 2005 WRX WRC car.

Looks more more like blue and silver to me. (I'm talking about the body decals not the color/wheel combo)

Looking at it again, why does the whole thing look like it was slapped together at the last minute?

I still like it As Colin said, I can't wait to see her run
