New from Kyosho (http://www.kyoshoamerica.com):

In addition to dedicated R/C off-road courses, this machine attacks gravel, tarmac and any other surface with extreme confidence. The sweet resonating sound of the exhaust note signals the power of the GP engine that delivers the relentless drive of a true WRC machine. The precise dimensions of the long wheelbase chassis with 3-differential full-time 4WD produces the stable straight line performance and drift control that lets you transform any open space into a racing circuit for a driving experience like never before. With roll and tire squeal like the real machine and the finely detailed body, the world of rally car racing has never been closer than with the dramatic action of this dynamic model racer.

With the new model 2007 IMPREZA as its base, SUBARU mounted its latest assault on the World Rally Championships with the SUBARU IMPREZA WRC 2008. The main design objective of improved control characteristics resulted in a longer wheelbase and short overhang as well as a lighter overall weight. The evolution of the symmetrical AWD system and horizontally opposed boxer engine realized the benefits of the low center of gravity chassis design. The unmistakeable blue color design was enhanced with new white and silver lines for a new 2008 style to continue its long running fight in the WRC. Subaru fans from around the world greeted the new model with resounding cheers of approval.

Love the looks. Too bad the real vehicle was pulled from the WRC.

Edit: BTW if they made an electric version I would buy this in a heartbeat. I'm not savvy enough for conversions though.
