VIDEO: The Best Impreza Colin McRae Edition is a £370,000 homage to McRae's iconic 555 racer, and AdamTowler's been behind the wheel on our YouTube channel -
that millions who played the video game associate him with. No. For me, it’ll always be about Group A, the car Subaru homologated as the Impreza 555, the Impreza that still made the deep, rumbly, window-rattling roar, the car that looked like the Turbo 2000 road car you could actually buy in British showrooms right down to the tiny rear spoiler, the car that ignited people’s passion for fast Imprezas in the UK, the car in which Colin won his one and only world title.
The Best Impreza McRae Edition is as close as possible a ‘continuation’ of the car Prodrive designed and built in tiny numbers to win in Group A and principally the World Rally Championship. So it’s not just any old Impreza rally car, and moreover, either through necessity or because he can, Carlo Bolori and his team have improved on the original with the benefit of 30 years of technological progress, yet remained within the boundaries of the original car’s FIA homologation documentation.
That’s key, because Group A will be eligible for FIA historic rally events from next year, and not using your investment-worthy, historic and valuable original 555 for competitive sport makes a lot of sense. The McRae family have given their blessing, too, hence the car’s name.I awake on the morning of the test to mercifully dry conditions, and in my head run through the day ahead, the enormity and surreal nature of it yet to fully be grasped by my still sleep-addled brain.
It’s an experience that no rally fan would be able to resist, one that you’ll have to read in our 300th issue, which is still on saleif you wish. For now, enjoy our YouTube video to see and crucially hear what makes the Impreza 555 such an icon, and why Best Engineering’s Colin McRae Edition does such an incredible job of channelling the original’s magic.
