    Subaru World Rally Team

  • . And for a great car, there have been great drivers: Ari Vatanen, Kenneth Eriksson, Colin McRae, Carlos Sainz, Juha Kankkunen, Tommi Makinen and the sadly-missed Richard Burns have all succeeded with the car down the years.
  • . Within a year of joining Subaru, Prodrive was invited to contribute ideas which would make the forthcoming Impreza suitable for the stage well before the production car design was finalised.
  • . Enter the Impreza Soon after the 1993 launch of the Impreza road car, its rally-bred cousin was revealed.
  • . The new car retained its predecessor’s compact, lightweight engine, well-balanced chassis and strut-type suspension.

    Subaru World Rally Team
  • Can I put the SWRT Livery onto my Road Car? No, we are afraid not.
  • . The livery is trademarked not just to prevent it being copied and used commercially, but to maintain the integrity of the Subaru World Rally Team's World Rally Cars in order that they stand out wherever they go as the pinnacle of the sport.
  • . We have had a number of instances where members of the public have complained directly to the team regarding roadcars that had SWRT decals on them where they were being driven erratically or without due consideration to other members of the roadgoing public.
  • . The rest of the community believes that these cars with the SWRT livery are in some way affiliated with the team and could then reproach the team directly regarding this bad driving.
  • . We would seek to eliminate all such confusion by maintaining the integrity of the livery for just the Subaru World Rally Team and ask members of the public to not apply stickers copying the team livery onto their own cars.
  • . What are the differences between a road and rally car? Generally speaking, the Subaru Impreza WRC2004 is based on the Impreza road car, but it is specially modified to withstand the rigours of competition and for safety reasons.
