22B Type UK (1998)16 of the 'export' 22Bs (see above) were modified by Prodrive, withlonger gear ratios, UK lights and driving lights and an official 3 yearwarranty. Because 50 22Bs had already been imported privately into theUK, Subaru UK had to wait until 1999 to register the 22B Type UKs underthe Single Vehicle Approval scheme. The price was £39,950, which wasroughly what grey import 22Bs were going for.
P1 (2000)To counter the grey imports of high-performance Japanese variants, Subaru UK commissioned Prodrive to produce an 'official' limited edition of 1,000 two-door cars in Sonic Blue.[7]The chassis was a 2-door coupe. They were taken from the STI Type Rlines and used for the P1. The car was the only coupe version of theWRX STI GC chassis to receive ABS. In order to allow for ABS, the DCCDwas dropped. Engine output was boosted to 276 bhp (206 kW), and thesuspension optimised for British roads. Options were available fromSubaru consisting of 6 piston front brake calipers, electric Recaro seats, 18" OZ alloys and a P1(Prodrive) stamped backbox. The P1, or Prodrive One, is echoed in the name of the Prodrive P2 concept car.
