Commercialisation year2001

In 2001, Tecnitoys marketed two new versions of the Subaru Impreza, with references 6079 and 6080, although like the real model with the bodywork evolved to the WRC model. Both versions in blue came with fiber optic lights, four-wheel drive through a dual-axle motor, and the new guide with automatic return system (A.R.S.). This model 6080 with #6, livery from the Acropolis Rally and the names of Solberg and Mills on the rear windows, is a reproduction of the real car that competed in that rally in 2001.

Year2001

In 2001, Petter Solberg and Phil Mills at the helm of a Subaru Impreza S7 WRC '01 from the Subaru World Rally Team finished in second position at the 48th Acropolis Rally, after leading the event in the early stages. This car was replicated by Tecnitoys in their model reference 6080. The 2001 Impreza WRC (S7) was the first WRC based on the new GD chassis: more rigid, with redesigned suspensions, better weight distribution, and more effective engine management. It represented a notable advance in stability, traction, and reliability compared to the 1999 and 2000 Impreza WRC models.
