SUBARU is packing some extra punch to its racy Impreza WRX and STI models in the shape of complimentary upgrades worth more than £3,200.

The free items include the Prodrive Performance Pack, which gives more bite to the acceleration, plus new 18-inch alloy wheels and tyres.

It means the WRX’s 0-62mph time is cut from 6.5 to 5.9 seconds and the STI Type UK will hit the same speed in 4.8 instead of 5.2 seconds.

The packs, developed in conjunction with Banbury-based tuning experts Prodrive, add a reconfigured engine control unit and high-flow sports exhaust to the Impreza.

And the 18-inch alloys give the car a more aggressive stance as well as improving handling and grip.

In addition, the Japanese firm has reduced the retail price of the All-Wheel Drive WRX by £95.

Subaru UK marketing director Kenyon Neads said: “With this offer we’ve added even more value into the Impreza equation.

“The WRX and STI are performance car icons with a seriously loyal following and we hope that the prospect of these free upgrades will broaden their appeal still further.”

The standard 2.5-litre WRX starts at £18,995 while the STI starts at £27,590.
