Subaru Impreza STi Spec C RA-R

The 22B is the best Impreza ever made…or is it? It’s ok, we hear your gasps! It's blasphemy even posing this question however there's another that deserves a shot at the title.

The Subaru Impreza WRX STi Spec-C Type RA-R. With only 300 units produced by Subaru Tecnica International it's something of a rarity to see an Impreza RA-R in Japan let alone the UK. Considered by many aficionados as the purest of all Imprezas it's impossible to resist the allure of this immensely special model.

Values have been steadily rising over the past 2 years for this sought after model and we anticipate this trend to continue for the foreseeable future. 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 & 318lb ft 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. Given the right driver, over a moorland road we can’t think of anything that would keep up!

Other features include reduced soundproofing, thinner glass, a lighter battery and even a thinner roof. The steering was quickened. The brakes were made bigger with huge Brembo six-piston callipers. The suspension was overhauled too, 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 was ramped up to create the most intense and rewarding Impreza for the driver.

This particular RA-R was sourced from Japan by ourselves and is a high quality factory original example with no modifications. Here's an opportunity to secure one of Subarus very finest creations.
