Why it matters
The P2 was Prodrive's showcase of what its engineering departments could do together: a practical everyday sports car by a company best known for Subaru rally cars. It combined Prodrive's own anti-lag and active torque-split systems with Subaru's turbo engine and four-wheel drive, wrapped in a composite body styled by Peter Stevens.

02Production & history
Production
Every figure says what it counts.
No production figures recorded yet.
History
According to Prodrive, the P2 was entirely designed, engineered and built at its Banbury and Warwick operations in nine months. Its chassis started as a Subaru R1 city car that was re-engineered for the coupe body and the new drivetrain, while the interior used the dash and seats of the Impreza. The car was shown to the press in January 2006.
Top Gear reported at the time that there were no plans to build the P2, and that if a manufacturer wished to produce it the price would be around 40,000 pounds. It remained a one-off demonstrator of the firm's capabilities rather than a series car.
