2-Person Imprezza
Hello..
I have recently seen a video of Subaru's Factory in Japan and they featured a small 2004 Subaru Impreza WRX. Basically it was a short Impreza i think it was for only 2 persons with a small cabin which i haven't seen before..
Anyone knows about this odd Subaru?? Any sites which show it??
Thank you.

Tokyo auto show promo site for Subaru cars:

This shows the B9 and R series conceptr cars. I think you might be reffering to the R1 concept (fugly).

No it wasn't the R2. It was a Subaru Impreza WRX will all the stripes and so on but it had a small cabin.. a rounder in a way cabin and it had a shorter wheel-base. like a hatchback or something...i was very amazed.
I'll try to send the channel i saw it a mail to see if i get an answer.

well as me and friends have been saying, it looks like Subaru really needs to get a small car to base their Rally program on. The Impreza is getting a little big and old to be there.

About the only way in which the Impreza is bigger then other rally cars is its wheelbase. All that really does is make it much more stable in high speed long straights, and slightly less nimble in slow corners.
So, when an Impreza whips around a corner, it has to move more volume, but not more weight. This doesn't affect speed as much as it affect driver style.
The only way in which the Impreza is at a disadvantage right now is power. The other teams have found ways to generate ~20hp more then the Impreza. But, SWRT is introducing a new motor at either Mexico or New Zealand.
