Description
2006 Subaru Impreza WRX STi Spec C Type RA-R 1 of 300 (JDM)
A rare chance to acquire Subaru Tecnica International's ultimate GDB-chassis road car: the Spec C Type RA-R, limited to just 300 examples for Japan. Powered by the EJ20 2.0-litre turbo (factory 320 PS/432 Nm) with a close-ratio 6-speed manual and DCCD all-wheel drive, the RA-R received an STI sport ECU, a larger twin-scroll ball-bearing turbo and revised intake/exhaust for sharper response. Chassis upgrades include pillow-ball suspension links, reinforced stabilisers/springs/dampers, special Brembo monoblock 6-pot front / 4-pot rear brakes and 18-inch lightweight wheels on 235/40R18 tyres engineered for precision and track-ready braking.

Provenance & notes
Imported by me in 2019 and kept in the UK since.
HPI clear; MOT to July 2026.
Increasingly difficult to find in original RA-R specification; values have trended strongly on these limited-run STI models.
Serious enquiries only, please. Rare opportunity to buy a genuine RA-R ideal for a discerning Subaru collector or driver who appreciates a homologation-bred STI with factory-engineered chassis, brakes and powertrain upgrades.
