Subaru Impreza 22B STI (1998) Full Restoration by Subaru MD

Exceptional Original Subaru Impreza 22B which has just had a full nut and bolt restoration by Subaru MD – Freshly Serviced & Ceramic coated – Incredible Example (Viewing Highly recommend)  One for the serious collector. Over £100k Restoration

Built to commemorate Subaru’s 40th anniversary and its third consecutive manufacturer’s title in the World Rally Championship, the car was rebuilt from the ground-up with a host of new parts. This Subaru Impreza STi 22B is an impressive, low-mileage example of the highly sought-after rally-derived performance car. Under the bonnet is the turbocharged 2.2-litre ‘EJ22G’ flat-four producing 276bhp, which is sent to all four wheels via a five-speed manual transmission. Subaru created 400 domestic market 22Bs, all of which reportedly sold out within 48 hours of the release announcement, and a further 24 cars for export markets. The 22B is easily distinguished from other Subaru Imprezas of the era by its wide body which took inspiration from the Peter Stevens designed WRC car. The wider body increased the overall width of the car by a substantial 80mm.

The 2.2-litre engine. Hand-built, it developed 267bhp and 265lb/ft of torque. A twin-plate ceramic metal clutch was used, helping those figures manifest themselves as a 0-62mph time of around 4.7 seconds and a standing quarter in 13.5 seconds.
