With the humdrum shopping Impreza as its base, the Japanese engineers went full-on banzai to develop the Impreza Turbo into a street fighting machine that was at home on the track as it was a forestry rally stage.

Rallying legends such as Colin McRae and Richard Burns took the already potent Impreza STi and turned it into an iconic machine, the likes of which we will probably never see again.
