The Subaru Impreza 2.5RS (GC8) features rally-inspired styling, including a hood scoop and aggressive body lines, suggesting high performance. However, its 2.5-liter flat-four engine produces 165 horsepower and 166 lb-ft of torque, resulting in a 0-60 mph time of approximately 7.4 seconds. This performance is modest compared to its visual appeal and the turbocharged WRX variant. For more details, see Car and Driver’s review of the 1998 Subaru Impreza 2.5RS. (caranddriver.com)
