Background
The Impreza WRX STI Spec C Type RA-R represents the pinnacle of Subaru’s engineering for the GDB generation. “RA” stands for Record Attempt, while the additional “R” signifies Radical or Racy. Built on the Spec C platform, the RA-R received numerous performance-focused upgrades:
- Large turbocharger with optimized turbine blade design and ball bearings
- Enhanced, heat-resistant straight air duct hoses
- Specially developed sports ECU for sharper throttle response and higher top-end power
- Pillow-ball suspension links, reinforced stabilizers, dampers, and springs for reduced body roll
- High-performance Brembo brakes with special calipers and discs
- Lightweight aluminium wheels with 235/40R18 tyres
- Aerodynamic front under skirt with lip for improved front-end grip
Among the 300 units, 100 were finished in WR Blue Mica, making this example especially desirable for those who love Subaru’s iconic rally colour.
The RA-R was designed to be fast, focused, and exhilarating — a serious driver’s machine in every sense.
