Bloodmotorsport is building a unique first generation Subaru Impreza for a customer at their company in Montmerle-sur-Saône, France. The car is being built for drag racing and designed as a 22B STI replica. Sitting the engine bay is a turbocharged TFSI inline-five that will eventually produce around 500 horsepower. That power will be sent to all four wheels through a DSG transmission and Audi RS 3 drivetrain.

Very unique…but way too much work for a downgrade in AWD (I own a golf R and love it, had a WRX before that and AWD > fauxAWD). That RS3 motor can definitely make more reliable power stock for stock even with full STi swap though.
