The STI Type RA represents Subaru's final love letter to the EJ25 boxer engine in America. Limited to just 500 units, this track-focused farewell edition stripped weight while adding carbon fiber components, Bilstein dampers, and sticky Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires. The 2.5-liter turbo flat-four produces 310 horsepower through a close-ratio six-speed manual, delivering that distinctive STI all-wheel-drive grip. What makes this special isn't just the performance upgrades—it's the finality. With Subaru moving to the FA24 engine, the Type RA closed the book on nearly two decades of EJ-powered STIs. Values have already appreciated significantly from the original $49,855 MSRP, making clean examples increasingly sought after by collectors who understand this represents the end of an era.
