About the 1998 Subaru WRX STI 22B

The 22B STI stands as the ultimate expression of Subaru's rally dominance, built to commemorate their third consecutive WRC manufacturer's title. Limited to 424 units, this widebody coupe featured a unique 2.2-liter EJ22G engine producing 280 horsepower, larger than the standard 2.0-liter unit. The aggressive flared fenders, massive rear wing, and gold BBS wheels created an unmistakable silhouette that defined the tuner car era. Originally Japan-only, the 22B's rarity and rally pedigree have made it legendary among collectors. Recent auction results show pristine examples commanding six-figure sums, with the car's significance extending beyond performance to cultural icon status. The 22B represents peak 1990s Japanese performance engineering, combining rally-bred technology with street usability in a package that remains visually stunning decades later.
