  The GB270
A limited edition final model iconic Impreza 2.5 WRX saloon. The GB270, is limited to only 400 units (300 for the Impreza GB270 saloon and 100 for the Sports Wagon) and offered around £7,600 in extra equipment. Benefiting from the 270 hp Prodrive Performance Pack which boosts power by 40 hp and torque by 74 lb ft to 310 lb ft, as a result the mid-range response
is substantially improved. Other shared features include a lowered spring kit, ‘quickshift’ gear change, special carpet mats, MOMO ‘Air-Race’ gear knob, larger-diameter 18x7.5ins GT1 alloy wheels and GB270 exterior badging and individually numbered interior plaque. Specific to the GB270 saloon are a WRC-style rear spoiler, stainless-steel mesh front grille, STI
front lip spoiler and silver-finished alloy wheels. This car features the extra-cost upgraded GB270-branded Alcantara/leather interior which was a £1,600 option, also has mudflap pack.

First registered and pre delivery inspected on 25.01.2008 this example has had 4 enthusiast keepers and has never been bumped or subject to any insurance claims. The service booklet is fully stamped with no patchy service records or skimping on servicing. Notably, the MOT history is exemplary having hardly never had an advisory placed against it, testament to the manner in which it has been maintained throughout the years.

The car is an absolute blast to drive, the in house custom remap, increases power and boosts torque across a wider rev range than the standard engine improving on the standard bhp considerably. These improved characteristics ensure that driver has the responsiveness required for performance driving including all-important, mid-range overtaking. A revised
engine management system, and a stainless steel sports exhaust system, plus a dump valve, the car is really all about mid range power. The most recent rolling road test measured 330bhp.

Summary
An extremely well thought out highly developed piece of kit that will out accelerate many
modern day fast cars and cover cross country miles with a stability and turn of speed
that has to be witnessed to be truly believed, these cars are supreme in this area. All this
achieved with extremely comfortable suspension and plenty creature comforts. Few cars
offer such versatility, practicality, reliability and sheer fun. The reserves of power and
the outright ability of the handling will never be exploited fully by any normal driver
on a public road. There are few models available in the current market at any time and these have become highly collectible.
