The Impreza S206 NBR is surely one for the future & examples such as this are few & far between.
History
The limited edition S series Impreza’s are always special & put together to be a true drivers car.
The S206 was produced in 2011 & followed suit of being a truly engaging drivers machine.
Of the 300 qty S206 cars produced, 100 qty were produced with the addition of the ‘NBR Challenge Pack’ option to commemorate its class win at the 24 Hours Nürburgring endurance race.
The S206 had a truly huge list of upgrades over the regular model, which is far to long of a list to put into this listing, and on top of the already mighty S206 specification, the NBR cars had a carbon fibre roof, dry carbon spoiler, BBS 19″ alloy wheels in black & of course the NBR badging.
This low mileage example is recently imported from Japan, a Grade 4.5 car which has been through our workshop having a full detail top & bottom, along with a cambelt & water pump service.
Body & Paintwork
Finished in Pearly White, the S206 is a striking car in every sense.
This colour really shows off the S206 in its best light, especially with the contrasting black BBS wheels, and carbon fibre roof/spoiler & black lower bodykit parts.
The paintwork looks fantastic & with the car having just been fully detailed it presents beautifully.
All badges are originals & are free of fading (a common issue with Japanese imports).
A beautiful example, still sporting correct wheels which have been refurbished to ensure they present perfectly.
All carbon fibre is also in excellent condition.
All lights are in fantastic condition, as is all glass.
This car really wants to be seen to be appreciated.
Interior & Trim
The first thing to notice when you enter the car are the truly fantastic half leather half Alcantara STi Recaro bucket seats, which are of course in great condition.
Also you will notice the centre console has the S206 number plaque which shows the specific number of the 300qty produced.
All interior trimmings are in great order as are the door cards, carpets & headlining.
The steering wheel is trimmed in Alacantara and looks fantastic.
Finding unmolested examples is very difficult, we searched for over two years for a nice example, and 9in all of our time in business this is only the second example we have been happy enough with to purchase.
Engine
The S206 engine feels an absolute joy to experience.
315bhp in a lightweight, superbly well balanced chassis with a beautiful manual gearbox just feels great!
Considering a large portion of today’s ‘hot hatches’ are similar power, Subaru were way ahead of the game when putting together the S206, which is a real drivers car.
Obviously the car starts & runs beautifully, no smoke when cold on start up & no smoke either on boost or on over run.
The car revs freely through the rev range with no hesitations.
As can be seen, the engine bay itself presents beautifully, with zero modifications, it is exactly as Subaru intended.
Running Gear
We have had this car on one of our ramps for a service & full check over of course.
Being a Japanese import, the underside is in superb condition with no corrosion present at all.
All components are still showing the original coatings & finishes, with all suspension legs & arms still in great condition.
The car drives absolutely brilliantly, having driven a lot of Subaru’s, this really stands out in the way it drives as do all the S series Impreza’s.
Not only in how tight it is generally, but the S206 differences really make it a very fun car!
Gearbox is an absolute joy, with gorgeous gear changes both up & down the gearbox.
