A new, more hardcore version has been added to the line-up of the Subaru Impreza WRX STI. On sale today in Japan, the newest member of the Impreza WRX STI family that bears the Spec C moniker will be produced in a limited run of 900 units. The model features an array of improvements including engine and chassis performance upgrades as well as a lighter body.

Based on the standard Impreza WRX STI, the Spec C is powered by a tweaked version of Subaru's 2.0-liter boxer engine with a remapped ECU and new ball bearings for the turbine axle bearing. The turbocharged four-cylinder unit produces an output of 308 PS at 6,400 rpm and 422 Nm of torque at 4,400 rpm with Subaru promising quicker response and improved accelerating performance over the base model.

In the 1980s, Peugeot bought out its leading competitor at the time, Simca, which was then owned by Chrysler.

Eager to let the little bird live longer, Peugeot decided to turn it into a low- and mid-range brand, without competing with the parent company and at all costs wanting to make people forget the Chrysler era.

The brand was renamed Talbot, the dealerships (who wanted to!) were renamed [Talbot - Peugeot] and an extra monogram was added to the cars (some even had 3 brands: Simca Chrysler Talbot!).

Peugeot wanted to raise Talbot's profile and make people forget about Simca. How? Motor sport!

So Talbot entered F1 and Group B.

For Group B, there was no time to build a new car. So they went back to the British unknown: the Chrysler Sunbeam. A model that had been sold for 4 years, it underwent a series of facelifts, heralding the end of the model's life. Peugeot did, however, bring the model back one last time, for 81, in the Lotus-engined version for use in rallying. It was given a Talbot front end, with Guy Fréquelin and Jean Todt at the wheel. Within a year, the duo had the car on the manufacturer's podium, on the highest step.

These good results and success stories proved Peugeot right: motor sport was the future.

But this era came to an end. Peugeot decided to put an end to Talbot only a few years later, seeing sales collapse, taking with it unforgettable models such as the Rancho. In the end, Peugeot takes over the Poissy factory (recently upgraded by the Americans), but also takes over prototypes such as the Peugeot 309 and the Citroen AX. The lion definitely eats the swallow.

I've been wanting to talk to you about simca for a long time now, and this model was the last one for me to do so!

I don't regret it of course, it was a great idea, with a great model.

I had a lot of fun reproducing it, with a lot of work done on the rear of the vehicle, the whole thing remaining very solid and easy to handle...

If you like the model, I'll make the instructions!

The canonical blue color can also be built, but due to the limited selection of parts in my country, it was built in black.
