A rare Prodrive P25 — a meticulously engineered tribute to the legendary Subaru Impreza 22B — has surfaced for sale, with an asking price exceeding €800,000.

Built by British motorsport powerhouse Prodrive, the P25 was unveiled in 2022 as a modern reinterpretation of the two-door Subaru Impreza WRX STI, paying homage to the coveted 22B STI that captured the hearts of enthusiasts in the late 1990s. Only 25 units were ever produced, making the P25 one of the rarest Subaru-based performance machines in existence.

Now, one of these 25 hand-built examples has appeared on the second-hand market with a staggering price tag of £700,000 (approximately €808,000). With just 306 kilometers on the odometer, the car is presented in near-factory condition and finished in the iconic Subaru World Rally blue.

Under the skin, the Prodrive P25 is far more than a nostalgic replica. It’s powered by a thoroughly reworked version of Subaru’s EJ25 2.5-liter turbocharged flat-four engine. Prodrive fitted forged pistons, steel con-rods, machined cylinder heads, variable valve timing, a Garrett turbocharger, bespoke air intake, and a high-performance intercooler. The result? A brutal 456 horsepower and 619 Nm of torque.

Power is sent to all four wheels via a 6-speed sequential gearbox paired with an AP Racing dual-plate clutch. Thanks to extensive use of carbon fiber — including the roof, hood, and side panels — the P25 weighs just 1,200 kg, around 45 kg lighter than the WRX STI it’s based on. This lightweight construction helps launch the car from 0 to 100 km/h in under three seconds — putting it in supercar territory.

With its blend of rally-bred engineering, ultra-limited production, and modern performance, the Prodrive P25 has firmly established itself as a collector’s gem. And judging by the asking price of this example, it’s clear that the market agrees.
