Beschreibung
This is a genuine JDM Impreza WRX Type RA, which at the time was Subaru’s homologation special, targeted at motorsport buyers wanting a lightweight out of the box ready, Group A qualifying rally car. One of only 370 produced by Subaru for its model year (MY96) and only for the Japanese Domestic Market, these cars are getting extremely rare now and to find one in such superb and original condition (even down to the original “pea shooter” exhaust), makes it a real collectors car!
The car was imported from Japan in 2007, but first registered in December 1995. The vehicle identification plate identifies this car as fitted with the legendary closed deck EJ20 engine producing 256 bhp, a close ratio gearbox, quick steering rack, no sound deadening, no fog lights, light weight bonnet, intercooler water spray, 5Th injector and improved valvetrain, raising the rev limit to 7, 500 rpm. It does however, come with optional factory fitted air conditioning and a rear deck STI spoiler, as well as period correct and super lightweight Advan RG1 racing wheels. As to be expected from what is essentially a road going Group A rally car, the drive is not for the faint hearted! It is raw, visceral, incredibly involving and with endless grip. In addition, the combination of its short ratio gearbox box, power and light weight body, makes it as fast as it is furious!
