300 with 000 and 001 test mules destroyed shortly before release in april of 2000. made to order by STi.

Afaik only three have made it outside of japan. on lives in hong kong, number 34 photo album here it also appears in the only two you tube videos on the s201 and a few other random internet photo's about the place. the second one is in a bad state. its basically a write off and lives in the uk and thirdly my number 25.

again, afaik one is for sale at this moment in japan, the yard had two but sold the second one last month. its number 62 and its in grade 5 condition. anyone interested?

the namesakes actually breaks down as follows.

S: Special
20: 2.0lt engine
1: the number in the series, s201 being the first, s202, s203 and s204

it was the first domestic japanese car to break the self imposed 206kw power limit. subaru got away with this because of the so called "special" status given to the project. at the time, (april 2000) on paper, the s201 was the most powerful car you could buy in japan at 221kws or 300ps.

the car's official sti website can be found here requires some translation but its all pretty much there.
