Miniature of a classic WRC contender

Technical changes that shaped performance

Subaru moved from the Legacy to the Impreza platform in the early 1990s, refining the car to comply with WRC specifications.

Combined with a turbocharged boxer engine, these upgrades made the Impreza a durable and fast contender.
