The Prodrive P25 is a restomod, a car which looks old but is completely new.
Starting with a Subaru Impreza WRX STi, Prodrive has modified the car to look like the rally winning leviathans it ran in the late-1990s and given it the performance as well as the reliability of a modern supercar, a car which is also now mostly made of carbon fibre rather than steel or aluminium.
The changes aren’t just skin deep and go far beyond a new bodyshell. Prodrive has boosted power on the 2.5-litre turbocharged boxer engine to over 450bhp. Torque is up too, and the suspension has been modified with bespoke upgrades alongside new brakes and an anti-lag system in the sportiest of the three drive modes (Normal, Sport, and Sport Plus).
