Subaru WRX STI 340R

Subaru UK has launched the 340R upgrade for its WRX STI.

Consisting of a tweaked ECU for the 2.5 litre boxer engine and a new exhaust system, the package lifts power by 39 bhp (29 kW / 40 PS) to 335 bhp (250 kW / 340 PS), while peak torque rises to 490 Nm (361 lb/ft).

As a result, the 0-60 mph (96 km/h) time drops from 5.2 to 4.7 seconds, and Subaru is also claiming similar improvements for the all-important mid-range acceleration.

Available alongside the existing 320R conversion, the 340R costs £1,599 and it can be fitted to new cars or installed retrospectively.

To further tempt buyers, the base WRX STI is currently being offered at £26,995 - a substantial reduction of £6,000 compared to the usual price.

There’s something very retro-chic about using a classic car as a daily driver, but it’s an activity that comes with the permanent risk that aged mechanicals might expire at any time. Hence the concept of regeneration by substituting ancient components with fresh replacements. Handling, brakes and reliability are all dramatically improved, while the outward appearance remains unmolested. Various models have received this treatment in recent years, including numerous Jaguars and even the Shelby G.T.500CR . Now it’s the turn of the Jensen Interceptor, a car originally built during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Jensen International Automotive , based in Thame, Oxfordshire, has just delivered the first of its Interceptor R models. And, with an annual production figure of 18 cars, it’s a product that will be very exclusive. In a process lasting around five months, each Interceptor R is totally rebuilt from a suitable donor car.
