"  Subaru Impreza R205  When Subaru recently announced it would sell an STI Limited Edition in the U.S.\u2014which uses parts from the Japan-market spec C\u2014you might have thought: &amp;quot;Finally, Subaru is bringing us the good stuff from Japan.&amp;quot; While it&amp;#039;s true the STI Limited Edition will become the top STI model in the U.S. when it goes on sale here this spring, Subaru has just released information on an even hotter R205 model intended solely for the Japanese market. Here we go again! The Subaru Impreza R205, which Subaru calls its &amp;quot;Road Sport Model,&amp;quot; sits at the top of the much-vaunted Impreza STI heap. Using &amp;quot;new and exclusive equipment,&amp;quot; including STI-tuned dampers, coil springs, a strut-tower bar and a front suspension lower arm stiffener, handling should be pretty awesome. A redesigned turbocharger, specially-tuned ECU and a less restrictive exhaust give the R205&amp;#039;s 2.0-liter turbocharged flat-4 an output of 320 bhp and 318 lb.-ft. of torque. The R205 also features aero tweaks front and rear, including a large, black high-mount rear wing. Are any of the R205&amp;#039;s go-fast parts destined for a U.S.-spec. STI model? A Subaru of America official told us: &amp;quot;You never know.&amp;quot; But due to the R205&amp;#039;s use of a 2.0-liter engine (U.S. STIs come equipped with 2.5-liter versions), there&amp;#039;s no way the model would be brought over as-is. Besides, Subaru is limiting the R205&amp;#039;s production to just 400 cars.
