Subaru Impreza WRX STI RA 1996

Immaculate collector grade 1996 Subaru Impreza WRX STI RA. This example was specifically sourced in Japan for its current owner and has been stored in a collection since its arrival. It is exceptional rare to find an unmodified, low km example for such a limited build version of Subaru’s STI RA variant.

The RA naming convention is a widely contested topic, either as Race Application or RAlly. While Subaru never officially confirmed the internal designation these variants were built for competition and available as a option to the public inspired by Group N regulations.

The RA variant was focused on light weight, removing power windows, radio, air conditioning, side skirts, sound deadening, with base model floor mats and featuring a roof vent (critical on the rally stage and additionally helps serve to distinguish it from it’s non-RA counterparts).

Mechanically the STI RA has shorter gear ratios, underbody bracing and numerous suspension improvements. This example has an immaculate undercarriage with a number of period correct STI suspension and handling upgrades.

This is a rare opportunity to secure a genuine collector grade and immaculate WRX STI RA accompanied by its original Japanese service history.
