Today, we have here again, one of the last releases from DNA Collectibles team, the Subaru Impreza 2000 Turbo GT, an exclusive model in 1:18 scale and a part of a very limited series of 320 pieces. The team moves fast and their collection keeps growing and I need to thanks them for the opportunity to review one of the best models in the business. Is easy to see from the photos how good looking this model is and how closed to the real are the details, being very easy to be confused with the real car.

With excellent proportion and accurate lines, this Subaru replica keeps the same attention to details and high qualitative standards as all the models in their line. Is no other choice of color than the traditional Subaru's blue and this is just enough, the model looks great and the paint job is just perfect.
Starting from the optical parts, we have accurate detailed lights in the front and rear side, with visible light bulbs and washers for the front. A beautiful job done here and very close to the real things. I love to see the separate metallic badges embodying the house logo and the car lettering on the rear side.

A work of precision with awesome results, all those badges and door bolts are looking fabulous. I appreciate the presence of a perforated mesh, keeping the original texture in the front side and I encourage the team to use the same method for the ones of little dimensions and easy visible, in this case the ones on the front bonnet. I don't know if is very important for many, but being a tradition for every high performance Impreza, I must say that the front bonnet scoop was perfect modeled.
Great job for the rims and the brake system behind them, and I'm sure some branded tires should have more optical impact, maybe will be a thing to be improved in the future. Is to be appreciate the tire's rubber quality very close to the real one. The final part of the exhaust was developed as a single part and beautifully chromed.

The things happened the same in the cockpit, where the DNA team is invincible: accuracy, qualitative materials and close to real detailing. Beautiful job again, the two tone seats are looking gorgeous and the finishing on the dashboard is just amazing, the absence of mould lines or gaps between parts, give you a clean view of the interior, very close to the real car. A job to be very appreciated! And just to mention some details: accurate and legible indicators, extremely good looking steering wheel with metallic decoration, flock, fabric made and photo etched buckles for the safety belts and.... original designed texture for the pedals, even if are not easy visible. Congrats team!

Every model comes with an original acrylic base, where a cover can be easily attached and every single one is individually numbered. As I said this car was never reproduced in 1:18 scale before and is a part of a very limited series, only available on www.dnacollectibles.com
