Prodrive P2

ravent · 10-01-2005, 10:02 AM

Well, say goodbye to the P1 from Prodrive as the P2 is just around the corner

Don't ask me which corner as I had been sworn to secrecy about all of this. Now I read about it in the latest issue of Speed magazine (I think its from Australia) So I am typing away

The Subaru Coupe that was being shown at the Auto Shows more than a year ago is being touted as the P2 from Prodrive. For about $100K you can have that 500hp Subaru to race your friends at the "dancing horse" track days or ANY other would be supercars

Sworn to secrecy, eh. Well, don't let that oath weigh too heavily on you.

I have to say, that car sounds tempting. The only thing disappointing is the talk of using the 2.0L motor, which likely means we won't be seeing any street legal P2's in the US.

Why do artists rederings always have 25inch wheels with 15 profile tires on them?
Did they hire p-diddy to draw the P2?

repost..

WE_R_ND · 10-01-2005, 08:59 PM

It is a repost but still very sexy

ravent · 10-03-2005, 02:54 PM

This has been an update because they had not talked about the "rocket" or the new AWD system. Also the price is going north

You think the engine bay would be too small to fit an EJ257? I think Subaru could easily release it in the US if they wanted to. However, how many good japanese cars do we see over here??? I think we are lucky as hell we got the STi and Evo. Overall, I agree - chances are slim we will see a USDM version...

That thing is sexy, 2200 pounds, not that is something special.

Well, it looks like it will be the first production car with an ALS (anti-lag system).

Now how are they gonna make that pass emissions regulations??!!

***Horhay*** · 10-05-2005, 01:47 PM

I would hope that this car has better top end than our cars currently have.

Bootsie · 10-06-2005, 10:22 PM

2200 lbs- this is like a awd Elise. I want this car!
