Subaru Impreza STI Cosworth CS400 offers a wide range of components in a Cosworth designed engine, turbo, exhaust, suspension, brakes and tires, and exterior improvements and dull interiors to create its own distinctive, high performance car for convenience everyday sedan.

Marketed only in the right hand drive form in the United Kingdom, the Subaru Impreza STI Cosworth CS400 is available in a choice of three exterior colors (Spark Silver, dark gray, and the San Remo Red), and is priced at £ 49 995 on -the-road.

The engine delivers 33 percent power hike

At the heart of the new Subaru Impreza Cosworth is a heavily revised version of the famous mark horizontally, on the contrary, all-aluminum boxer engine. "Flat-four 'power is disconnected from the machine, hand finished, and the number of internal components are replaced during good and associated articles, as defined by Cosworth.

As with all Impreza engine "Boxer", the apartment STI Cosworth with twin overhead camshafts per bank (DOHC) and Active Valve Control System (AVCS) variable valve timing of the supply and improve low-speed pulling power.

The aim of the Cosworth engine upgrade was to maintain the improvements simple, efficient and as close as possible to the original design team to ensure the reliability and maintainability Subaru dealers regularly.

Internal improvements are high-performance pistons, which are manufactured using the same methods are used to create Cosworth Formula 1 pistons. Special features to reduce the accumulation of carbon to minimize friction and reduce weight.

Forged connecting rods are made of high strength 4340 (EN24) steel and special bearings Cosworth engine offers a unique combination of design, metallurgy and engineering. Heavy duty cylinder studs high performance head gaskets multi-layer and a high pressure pump is also equipped with oil.

The overall result is a huge increase in torque higher up the rev range, and significantly improved in uniform acceleration. This not only allows the Impreza more manageable for every day the road, but also a much more marked in the field.

New turbocharger and "breathe" exhaust systems

The new Cosworth turbo system features a new design of the compressor and the wastegate actuator re-evaluated to provide boost pressure and gives more power.

A single exhaust has been developed, so that the engine "breathe" more easily, and the release of its full potential. The increased capacity of tubular manifolds and downpipes diameter increased to accelerate the evacuation of hot gases. The first catalyst is designing an exhaust pipe to the freer and larger exhaust note sound capabilities.

After the update in-depth performance Cosworth, with a new computer map, the boxer engine in the CS400 produces 33 percent more horsepower (400 hp at 5,750 rpm vs. 300 hp at 6000 rpm for standard Subaru Impreza WRX STI) and 542 Nm of torque, while remaining within the limits of torque to the design capacity of the drive train original Impreza.

Manual gearbox and AWD system

To handle the increase in power-tuned Cosworth engine, gearbox Subaru Impreza STI six-speed manual, which is synchronized carbon applied to the top three ratios and a short-range clutch to accelerate change.

It also updates the oil bath controlled the pressure plate, bearings and disc. The gearbox and final drive ratios are the same.

Subaru Impreza Cosworth full-time All-Wheel-Drive Transmission Front and rear limited slip differential, has a 50/50 front to rear torque split as standard, however, the couple split varied electronically by changing conditions. The differential multi-mode Driver Control Centre with viscous coupling senses which axle has a better grip and change the division ratio in milliseconds to distribute the torque accordingly, and thus to maximize traction and minimize the possibility of skating.

Fine suspension

Improve handling Subaru Impreza Cosworth, steering feel and driver feedback - without sacrificing comfort - was a prime target for the development team.

Subaru have available the original suspension and main components, Cosworth and a team of engineers worked with Bilstein Eibach Chassis and technicians to design a tour package / handling / director, who was perfectly suited to the improved performance of the new model.

Special Eibach springs and Bilstein new inserts with unique cushioning properties that have been designed specifically Cosworth. The ride height has been lowered 10 mm front.

The benefits of the cleansing process is twofold. First, there is a big improvement in overall ride quality, which is easier to live with the Impreza a daily basis. Secondly, it is-the-limit behavior is more focused and composed. Updates attenuation means there is less pitch and roll in the corners, that is, drivers keen to return to power in the past and make the cars Symmetrical All-Wheel-Drive system.

Upgrade "racing" brake better braking performance

To match the new Subaru Impreza Cosworth super pace, commissioned Cosworth to develop AP Racing front brakes more powerful. Larger diameter (355 mm) vented front discs have been adopted, with kettle-style racing with six-piston calipers in the personal operating larger brake pads.

The performance difference is immediately noticeable. The pillows hard helps minimize fading, meaning that drivers can rely on caps to AP delay time and still in force.

The standard drive Subaru Impreza WRX STI rear brake, brake balance and overall ABS system original have been preserved.

"Stand-out" looks, plus new style wheels

The excellent performance of the Cosworth Subaru Impreza is reflected in its "stand-out appearance and standard xenon headlights. The lowered ride height and wider track gives the car a whole new attitude that is reinforced by a new front bumper, new fog lights, upper and lower mesh grilles and a new rear spoiler.

Despite alloy wheels the new model are very similar in size to the regular Impreza WRX STI model - 18 x 8.5 inches - which are lighter and stronger. Called "Pro Race" and finished last in the range of Team Dynamics wheels anthracite were selected to be compatible with the Subaru design studies of five years. These wheels have an offset of 43 mm (standard STD scroll wheel is 55 mm) and extend the track by 12 mm - improving handling and filling the wheel arches of the car more efficiently for a position more aggressive.

The new bikes are equipped with high-performance, low-profile Michelin tires SP3, chosen for their wet and dry traction, durability and low noise level. The tire size is 245/40 R18 and the tread pattern is directional.

Internal changes, and a generous prize appliances

Inside, the sporty new Recaro front seats, rear seats and steering wheel are all re-trimmed in leather Cosworth black mark. Also separate the CS400 is the Piano Black center console and trim, and installing privacy glass.

Standard features carried over from the WRX STI models include LED tail lamps (LED), front and rear electric windows, 10 speakers, six-disc radio / CD player, satellite navigation, Smart-and start button, and front, side and curtain airbags.

Benefits of full ownership

The new Subaru Impreza STI Cosworth CS400 comes with the guarantee of a guarantee of three years or 36,000 miles, 12 years against corrosion and paint warranty coverage for three years.

This is in addition to the three years of membership of Subaru Assistance - a full house and repair of streets and shooting all over the UK and Europe administered by Mondial Assistance.
