UNRESERVED 1998 Subaru Impreza WRX STI
The Subaru Impreza WRX STI of the late 1990s became an instant icon, born from the brand’s dominance in the World Rally Championship under the hands of legends like Colin McRae. The 2-door coupe body style, known as the Version 5/6 STI, remains one of the most collectible variants — blending aggressive styling, a turbocharged boxer engine, and Subaru’s legendary all-wheel-drive system. For enthusiasts, this generation epitomises the golden age of rally-bred road cars.
This example, a personal import from Japan, is presented in black and shows 102,572 kilometres on the odometer. It is powered by the 2.0-litre turbocharged EJ20 boxer engine paired with a 5-speed manual gearbox, delivering the raw and engaging driving dynamics the STI badge has always promised. The car presents in highly original condition, offering buyers a rare chance to secure one of the most desirable Japanese performance coupes of its time.
The cultural weight of the WRX STI cannot be overstated — it was the hero of 1990s rally stages, video games, and tuner culture. The coupe body was produced in limited numbers and has become one of the most sought-after JDM classics worldwide. Today, well-kept examples like this not only represent thrilling performance but also stand as valuable investments in the fast-appreciating Japanese collector car market.
