Subaru Impreza, la vague bleue

Few car brands have gained worldwide recognition as quickly as Subaru. Virtually unknown in the early 1980s, the Japanese company rose to fame through the rally victories of the Impreza in the World Rally Championship.

Originally a modest family sedan, the Impreza quickly became a benchmark in the sports sedan category with the introduction of the 2.0 GT Turbo. Driven by top racers, it achieved remarkable success:
- Three World Rally Championship manufacturer titles for Subaru.
- Three driver championships with Colin McRae (1995), Richard Burns (2001), and Petter Solberg (2003).
- Multiple victories in the French Rally Championship.

In 2011, the Impreza remained active in various competitions, including the French Rally Championship.
This book explores its commercial and racing history through exclusive documents and photographs.
