The story of how one car transformed the entire perception of a car manufacturer is one of the most interesting and inspiring in motorsport history. Before the Impreza hit the world rally stages and started winning on them, few people had even heard of Subaru cars. However, in partnership with Prodrive, Subaru used its endeavours in rallying to create a brand appeal that endures to this day. This manual tells the story of how the project began, the trials and tribulations that had to be overcome, adn how sweet success tasted when it finally arrived. Through the thoughts and recollections of those integral to the projet's success, the engaging text, supported by numerous archive images and specially commissioned photographs of a restored car today , details the technical development of the car and charts its rapid rise to World Championship glory
