Subaru Impreza WRX STI Spec C homologated for Group N rallying

The Japanese carmaker is still making its presence known in motorsport despite withdrawing from the World Rally Championship in 2008, and the Impreza WRX STI Spec C has completed its homologation process and received its official Group N Homologation certificate from FIA.

The Group N regulations allow for limited modifications to the standard specification model, such as a mildly enhanced engine and chassis performance as well as a lighter body. Group N cars are entered in the FIA's Production World Rally Championship series.

Subaru will enter the Group N Impreza WRX STI Spec C rally car at the Production World Rally Championship's Rallye Deutschland in Germany, which will be held on August 22. Subaru has not announced who will be its drivers for the
championship however.
