Replica of the Subaru Group A safari rally car
In 2009, Bernhard acquired a 1998 Subaru Impreza 555 Edition, inspired by rally legends like Richard Burns. Initially modifying the car with rally-inspired aesthetics, Bernhard sought a unique project, leading to the discovery of the Safari Rally. Aiming to replicate Burns’ 2000 Safari Rally-winning car, Bernhard spent years sourcing rare parts. A pivotal moment occurred at Rallyday 2016, where the tribute car was showcased alongside the original, deepening the commitment to creating a distinctive homage to the Safari Rally’s legacy: The Subaru Impreza Group A replica project had started.
