This look at the Subaru Hybrid Tourer concept is still relatively new, since the actual concept itself was only recently revealed at Tokyo’s forty first annual motor show. It is actually a proposal for what the automaker hopes will be a grand touring vehicle in the future. The primary aim of the innovative concept — which looks like it might take wing and fly away at any given minute — is to combine driving performance with safety and a high level of eco and environmental friendliness.

As a matter of fact, as it applies to the exterior, wings were the central inspiration for the vehicle. Why? Because they make for an air of confidence and total freedom. The gullwing doors are naturally a more phyisical interpretation of that feeling.

Prodrive Ltd. is known as a group of motorsport and car engineering that is located in Banbury, Oxfordshire, England. They are also known to draw up plans, build and put its cars on the race track for the well-known companies and groups such as Aston Martin and Subaru.

Like other race teams, Prodrive sells its race cars after giving them up from the competition. Either to other competitive teams for another racing event, and some will go to avid race car fans that are willing to collect such fine beauties.

Now that Prodrive has a handful of their own creation which is now in the retirement phase, it is only time for them to find their new home. To help with this plan, Prodrive is now providing a listing program on their own website for sellers.

Featuring on their latest listing is the very first Subaru Impreza WRX that was engineered with the World Rally Championship regulations that was implemented in 1997. The race track-famous car was revved up by the legends in the WRC: Colin McRae, Kenneth Erikkson and Pierro Liatti. The sleek facade and its awesome function have been carefully preserved. It is also painted on its livery of 1997 Rally Finland. The Impreza is being offered with the price of roughly $122,000.

In toting up the collection, there are seven more Subaru World Rally Team cars and 18 cars from the Prodrive Subaru Group that are now for sale.
