I`m pretty sure it was race altered and then they changed it to record attempt on the new ages?

Its a V3 WRX RA...but what a crock of $hit right up...

I love this part...

Can you imagine being a fly on the wall in the design-brief room at Subaru when the order was given to build the Impreza WRX STi Type RA STI president Masaru Katsurada sits his team down and sternly says, ‘No more pussyfooting around with half-baked attempts at creating the ultimate drivers’ STI. Come on lads, go all out. Create a car that can be thrashed at the track, but can still be driven home.’

'' Subaru wanted to go out on a high. So it threw out all of the unnecessary creature comforts – like the £2200 Recaro seats – and focused on just one thing: handling. And the result is stunning''

''the ‘RA’ part is short for ‘Record Attempt – Racy''


really?
