Dave Richards, erstwhile team boss of the Benetton and BAR Formula One teams and Prodrive chairman, is the man we have to thank for the Subaru Impreza P1. Convinced that a fully homologated European two-door Impreza would be the perfect answer to the flood of STi grey import models that was beginning to overwhelm dealers, Richards met Subaru President Tankada in early 1999 and outlined his plans for the car. This was no small job as the two-door Impreza body style wasn't officially imported and had to go through a costly type approval process. Based on the Impreza WRX STi Type R, the P1 featured a chassis better suited to European roads and driver characteristics.
