The 22B is the greatest Impreza ever made… or is it? There's another that deserves a shot at the title. The Subaru Impreza WRX STi Spec C Type RA-R.
Running the 2.0 EJ20 engine from the Japan-only STi S204 limited edition, twin Scroll Turbo and unique ECU, the RA-R produces 316bhp & 318lbft with linear power between 2000-8000rpm. This means the in-gear acceleration is outrageous, coupled to the infamous symmetrical all wheel drive system, the speed and grip this car generates is astonishing.
Other features include reduced soundproofing, thinner glass, a lighter battery and even a thinner roof. The steering is sharper, the brakes are larger with huge Brembo six-piston callipers and the suspension sits even lower than a Spec C, with STi aluminium pillow-ball lateral links with bushings. To top it off the 8.5x18” STi wheels are wrapped in bespoke 235-section rubber.
Everything is ramped up to create the most intense and rewarding Impreza ever produced. RA-R's are only going up in value and we are confident they'll continue to rise. This example is 1 of 300 RA-R’s, only 125 were finished in WR Rally Blue Mica...
