Richard’s 650hp Classic Impreza

Richard’s DBM MY00 Classic has been a labour of love, undergoing continual development for the last few years.

Starting from a standard UK turbo, this car has been extensively modified to create an extremely powerful street sleeper that is still very driveable.

The car produces 534hp/510ftlb @1.7Bar on 95RON fuel and 653hp/591ftlb @1.9Bar on Shell VPower 99RON pump fuels.
