Impreza RB320 - In memory of Richard Burns

After viewing the Subaru RB320 Impreza, I followed up its history and had a conversation with a knowledgeable car enthusiast, that it is dedicated to the Richard Burns Foundation following his death. "The 2001 world rally champion, formed an astrocytoma – a form of brain tumour – in November 2005.

Richard’s strength and determination throughout his illness were an inspiration. He faced his disease with bravery, intelligence and single-mindedness. These were all the qualities that helped make him England’s only world rally champion.

The Richard Burns Foundation aims to help people who are affected by brain cancer and other Neurological disorders, giving them the means to face the future with confidence." (Source: Richard Burns Foundation)

"During the 2006 Goodwood Festival of Speed, a charity was founded in his name with a purpose to "inspire and support people with serious injury and illness", named RB Foundation. The foundation also raises money for the Michael Park Fund, which deals with improving safety in motorsport events.

Subaru released a special edition Impreza WRX STI in 2007 - the RB320 - in memory of Burns. It features a 320 bhp (240 kW) Prodrive Performance Pack, Prodrive developed suspension, sports spring kit and is available only in Obsidian Black colour. Proceeds went to the RB Foundation."

Nissan GT-R Wagon

The Nissan GT-R is very popular in the tuning world and is constantly approached by new companies. There were rumours about an estate version but one tuner just couldn't wait. The unknown tuner has created a perfect combination between the front of the Nissan GT-R and the rear of a Nissan Stagea wagon.

The vehicle itself would make an extremely fast tourer for the family outings. I'd love one for the family!

Here's some pictures of the Nissan GT-R wagon:
