With the new model 2007 IMPREZA as its base, SUBARU mounted its latest assault on the World Rally Championships with the SUBARU IMPREZA WRC 2008. The main design objective of improved control characteristics resulted in a longer wheelbase and short overhang as well as a lighter overall weight. The evolution of the symmetrical AWD system and horizontally opposed boxer engine realized the benefits of the low center of gravity chassis design. The unmistakeable blue color design was enhanced with new white and silver lines for a new 2008 style to continue its long running fight in the WRC. Subaru fans from around the world greeted the new model with resounding cheers of approval.
