This Subaru Impreza WRX STi Spec-C Type RA-R is a rare rally-derived performance saloon, and one of just 300 examples produced. It is powered by a turbocharged 2.0-litre ‘EJ20’ flat-four, delivering 236kW to all four wheels through a six-speed manual transmission. This Impreza Spec-C was originally delivered to Japan, where it received the high ‘4.5B’ grade at auction, before being exported to Australia in 2022. The odometer displays 45,736 kilometres, however this is not warranted. Build year: 2006 The most extreme production version of the second-generation ‘GDB’ Impreza, the RA-R builds on the STi Spec C’s already impressive performance characteristics. Powered by the same 320hp turbocharged flat-four as the Japan-only STi S204, the Type RA-R featured thinner glass and metal, reduced soundproofing, no boot carpet, a lighter battery, a quicker steering rack, Brembo brakes, and enhanced suspension. This example is finished in Aspen White over a black cloth and synthetic suede-trimmed cabin. It rides on a set of white 18-inch multi-spoke alloy wheels, housing silver-toned callipers and fitted with Bridgestone Potenza RE004 tyres. Equipment includes an intercooler water spray, air conditioning, and a Pioneer Carrozzeria stereo. A plaque in the engine bay confirms the correct RA-R model code of GDBG4LH. The car will be supplied with its owner’s book pack, auction sheet, export certificate, Concessional RAV Entry Approval paperwork, various invoices, and the spare wheel. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. The wheels are said to have been replaced with new OEM items.
