1998 Subaru Impreza STI Type R
A highly sought-after two-door STI Type R coupe, finished in White and showing an indicated 73,011 km. Imported from Japan, this model represents one of the most desirable performance variants of the GC8 generation.
Powered by a turbocharged 2.0-litre engine paired with a 5-speed manual transmission and Subaru’s renowned all-wheel-drive system, the Type R delivers the sharp, rally-inspired driving experience for which these cars are celebrated. Features include bucket seats, Blitz turbo timer, diff lock control, auto light activation, and upgraded front and rear sway bars. Some marks, blemishes, and rust are present underneath the vehicle.
Subaru Impreza STI Type R Model History
Developed as a lightweight, performance-focused homologation-style variant, the STI Type R stands apart from the standard GC8 lineup. Built exclusively as a 2-door coupe, it features a driver-controlled centre differential (DCCD), reduced weight, strengthened driveline components, and STI-tuned suspension. Closely tied to Subaru’s World Rally Championship success of the 1990s, the Type R remains one of the most collectible and celebrated Subaru performance models.
