2005 Subaru WRX Impreza STI | Braintree, Essex

The Subaru Impreza WRX STI is the performance flagship of the Impreza range, known for a turbocharged flat-four, permanent all-wheel drive and rally-derived looks. The large bonnet scoop and tall rear wing give it a purposeful outline that reads at a glance. This 2005 car is finished in blue with a black interior, a pairing that sets the scoop and wing against the paintwork. It seats four. That rally-bred shape works well in advertising and music video, where a fast Japanese car sets the scene straight away. Photographers and fashion and editorial teams get strong lines and a bold colour to frame. Film and TV productions set in the 2000s get a car that belongs to the period, and at events it gives guests something to gather around. Weddings and personal hires are welcome too. The car is based in London and Essex.
