A rare and highly focused limited-run Japanese performance hatchback, this Subaru Impreza WRX STi Spec C R205 is number 141 of just 400 examples, combining lightweight Spec C foundations with STi’s Nürburgring-honed upgrades. It is powered by a turbocharged 2.0-litre ‘EJ207’ flat-four engine, delivering up to 231kW to all four wheels via a six-speed manual transmission. This example was originally a Japan-delivered model, which was first registered in March 2010, and was recently imported to Australia, where it passed compliance in December 2024, and has been with the seller ever since. The odometer indicates 85,613 km, though this is not warranted. Build year: 2010 The R205 represents one of the most driver-focused iterations of the GRB-generation STi, based on the lightweight Spec C and enhanced with chassis upgrades developed through Subaru Tecnica International’s motorsport programme, including experience from the Nürburgring 24 Hours. The R205 boasts several desirable factory enhancements, including a unique front splitter, rear diffuser, rear spoiler, and black front grille, as well as R205 door sill plates, a semi-closed deck, forged engine internals, an R205-specific VF56 ball-bearing twin-scroll turbocharger, an uprated front stabiliser, and Brembo six-piston front and four-piston rear brake callipers, and two-piece floating front brake discs. The model also retains the standard Spec C’s intercooler spray and water tank, thinner window glass and lighter body panels such as an aluminium hood, and reduced sound deadening.
