Subaru is paying tribute to the late Richard Burns, 2001's World Rally Champion, by offering a special-edition Impreza in his honor. The RB320 STi's name is derived from Richard's initials and the power output of the car's engine. All the Richard Burns editions receive the Prodrive Performance Pack, which in addition to delivering the 320 horses, includes an uprated suspension that puts the Subie 30mm closer to the ground. Enhancing the car's dropped appearance are a lip spoiler and and exclusive wheels which, along with the rest of the bodywork, are coated in Obsidian black paint. Slick-looking mesh grille inserts contrast the Vader-like finish nicely, and RB320 badging announces the car's limited nature to bystanders and other drivers.

The first of the RB320s will be auctioned off, with proceeds benefiting the Richard Burns Foundation.
