With more info..

So basically its a WR1 with a brake up grade, and presumably lighter and a bigger ARB.

What turbo does it have?


Go for the yellow as it will look good parked next to WR1 blue.
Cheers, have seen the link,and i reckon in last 6 weeks just about every write up going, really wanted to be sure that i wanted one.
Ian, its actually quite diferent from WR1.
It has 2 oil coolers,lightweight glass,lightweight panels, zero sound deadening, Its far more like an improved spec C

Found this
So what’s so special about this final edition? Well, Subaru Technica International have raided their parts bin and thrown all of the best bits into the Spec-C Type RA-R. As the name suggests it contains the Spec-C kit, which includes lightweight boot, lightweight roof, lightweight windows, as well as additional oil coolers. On top of that they’ve also added STi suspension that sits 15mm lower than the standard Impreza, an underbody suspension brace from Yamaha, and a front lip spoiler that results in 30% less lift at speed.
The 2-litre flat four in the RA-R has been blueprinted and balanced, given an STi turbo intake and Spec-C twin-scroll turbo with larger compressor. This means power is up to 320bhp and torque is up to 318 lb-ft, but when remapped for UK fuel you can expect 345bhp and 330 lb-ft of torque

Have been reliably informed after mapping to expect aprox 360bhp, guessing that will bring 0 to 60 to under 4 seconds. Nice
