The Subaru Cosworth Impreza STI CS400 will be available in the UK in July for about £50,000. It gets a lot of Cosworth-engineered upgrades including the engine, exhaust, suspension, brakes and wheels. Even the car’s styling has been upgraded.

Its 2.5-litre engine now develops 395bhp, which is almost 100bhp more than the standard STI’s. Its speed is quicker than the 2010 Performance Car of the Year, the Audi R8 V10. The car will blast from 0-62mph in 3.7 seconds.

Subaru is all set to launch its Crossover Impreza XV hatchback, modeled with off-roader style body cladding. The vehicle will be publicly rolled out next month at the Geneva show.

The company has described that XV as being equipped with "new crossover styling", which includes a new front grille and wheel arches, in addition to roof rails and a roof spoiler. Also, the vehicle will boast contrasting color panels.
