The title is as accurate as the ad. Some brave soul has put a Subaru SVX's H6 engine into an Impreza STI and tuned it rather comprehensively, so that it now has more power than a Ferrari F12. And it can (currently) be yours for the price of a BRZ! If you're in the UK, that is.

I just wrote a long thing so I'm just going to !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! and repost the text below:

It's a labour of love! Think of it like the LFA. It lost Toyota heaps, but thanks goodness it exists.

I just feel so bad for people who end up selling these. There is probably 20 grand locked up in that engine.

Yeah, I know what you mean. It's the hard truth of projects like these, unfortunately.

Dude. What an insane machine.

Give me that drivetrain in an SVX and I'd be laughing. Imprezas are quick to begin with. SVXs need the extra oomph.

That would've been an interesting chase. Maybe he could've lost them long enough to hide round the corner like NFS Most Wanted or GTA?

Or GTA style ski jumped to the top of Rockefeller Center and watches as everyone lost interest.
