Description
We are delighted to offer this rare and highly sought-after 2003 Subaru Impreza STi Spec C, one of the most hardcore and performance-focused models ever produced by Subaru. Built for motorsport homologation, the Spec C is lighter, stiffer, and sharper than the standard STi, making it a true driver’s car.
Key Features & Highlights:
• EJ207 Twin-Scroll Turbo Engine – Factory-rated at 280 PS, high-revving and ultra-responsive.
• 6-Speed Close-Ratio Manual Gearbox with DCCD (Driver Controlled Centre Differential).
• Factory Weight Reduction – Thinner glass, lightweight panels, reduced sound deadening.
• Upgraded Chassis & Handling – Strengthened body shell, revised suspension geometry, stiffer dampers and springs.
• Quick Steering Rack (faster ratio for razor-sharp turn-in).
• 14L Water Spray Tank for intercooler cooling (boot-mounted).
• Larger Fuel Tank (to suit endurance and rally use).
• Unique Spec C Turbo & ECU Tuning for improved throttle response.
• Factory Aluminium Bonnet & Boot Lid – further weight savings.
• 17” Lightweight STi Alloy Wheels with performance tyres.
• Recaro Sports Seats – supportive and designed for spirited driving.
• Minimalist Interior Trim – reduced sound insulation and lighter fittings.
• Iconic STi Styling – rally-inspired wide arches, bonnet scoop and rear spoiler.
This particular example has covered 148,000 km and presents very well with a Grade 4B auction rating – an excellent grade for a car of this age and mileage, confirming it’s been well cared for.
The Spec C is one of the most desirable Japanese performance icons of the 2000s – lighter, rarer, and more focused than the standard STi. Whether you’re a collector of homologation specials or someone who wants one of the sharpest rally-bred road cars of its era, this example represents a fantastic opportunity.
Included with the sale are two keys, all original owners’ manuals and the original OEM spoiler & exhaust. Nationwide delivery & Part Exchange available. Viewing by appointment only.
