The Subaru Impreza GC8 is still immensely popular among fans and probably the quickest Hillclimb Version in Europe is this one, Mauro Soretti´s Type R unit.

Owner of Soretti Preparazione, this Italian tuner has developed this machine initially for Time Attack Racing but it has evolved though the years into a proper Hillclimb machine and nowadays it can fight with some of the best cars in the Sport.

This 600Hp/1050Kg Monster powered by a Boxer 4 Turbo engine (equal length headers) is now feared by opponents and no race was better to see that than Cividale-Castelmonte where it not only won among Touring Cars, it also beat the All Time Record of the course.
