Created to commemorate Subaru’s 40th anniversary and its third consecutive World Rally Championship Constructors’ title, the Subaru Impreza 22B STi stands today as one of the most revered JDM homologation specials, with just 400 examples built exclusively for the Japanese market. Developed by Subaru Tecnica International, the 22B was effectively a road-going interpretation of Subaru’s dominant WRC machine. Power comes from the legendary turbocharged 2.2-liter flat-four, rated at 276 hp, paired with a close-ratio five-speed manual gearbox and Subaru’s signature symmetrical all-wheel drive. Distinctive features include dramatically widened WRC-style bodywork, Bilstein suspension, gold BBS wheels, upgraded brakes, and an adjustable rear wing.

This particular example spent the majority of its life in Japan before being acquired by Canadian collector Joel Lavec of Quebec in 2019. During his ownership, the car was periodically loaned to Vermont SportsCar (VSC), where it was displayed at the firm’s motorsports facility, an extraordinary association given VSC’s deep roots in Subaru’s American rally legacy. In 2025, VSC acquired the vehicle outright. Today, this extraordinary 22B displays less than 8,200 km. Importantly, an extensive service, including a timing belt replacement, has been performed by Vermont SportsCar. With its authentic history and direct connection to one of Subaru’s most celebrated partners, this 22B STi represents a rare opportunity to own a meaningful example of Subaru’s rally-bred legend.
