Gregoire Blachon spent around 100 days converting a stock classic Subaru Impreza into a 22B replica. But its main talking point can be seen under the bonnet, and out of the exhaust when he pins the throttle wide open. It’s powered by a boxer diesel engine tuned to around 200bhp and 300lb ft of torque, with suspension components from an Impreza STI and an aftermarket carbon body kit.
