It is not every day that you have the opportunity to have a rarity in the car world in your garage.
To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the brand and the three manufacturers' titles in the World Rally Championship, between 1995 and 1997, the Japanese brand launched in 1998 the Subaru Impreza 22B STI. Only 400 units were produced worldwide (which sold out in 30 minutes), and one of them – number 307 – will now be auctioned by Silverstone Auctions.
In terms of design, the sports car adopted the same bodywork as the competition models and received an adjustable rear wing. Bilstein's suspension and Brembo's brakes were also carried over from the rally version, while the clutch was improved. Under the hood, the Subaru Impreza 22B STI is powered by a 4-cylinder 2.2 liter E22 engine with 284 hp.

To date, this numbered unit has had only one registered owner – British athlete Prince Naseem Hamed – and has covered just 4,023 km. The Subaru Impreza 22B STI will be auctioned at Silverstone Auctions on May 20th for an estimated price between 76 and 88,000 euros.
