Det här slutcitatet från Lapworth säger det mesta om varför jag är såååå sugen på en ny Sti.
“We’re keenly anticipating the car’s debut in Mexico,” said Lapworth. “The future will be bright for the Impreza WRC2005, but what’s more exciting for the longer term development of the Impreza is the way our colleagues in Japan are now able to take SWRT’s requirements into account even earlier in the design process. Our collaborations are mutually beneficial and all the ideas derived from the WRC activities are fed back into the road car development programme, which in turn provides the rally team with a higher level of base car on which to work. Looking to the future development of Subaru cars, with our input from the initial sketches, the mutual co-operation becomes very exciting.”
