Finished in Cool Gray Metallic (86F) with a black and red interior, this STi Type R Version V is a rare 2-door lightweight model built for performance. Equipped with the legendary EJ20 2.0L turbocharged flat-four (280ps, 36.0 kgf·m) and a close-ratio 5-speed manual transmission with DCCD all-wheel drive, it delivers the rally-bred driving experience that made the GC8 a legend.

The Type R Version V features reinforced STi suspension and exclusive STi sport seats, along with standard equipment such as ventilated disc brakes, dual airbags, climate control, and power accessories.

This example has tasteful upgrades including an HKS Silent Hi-Power exhaust, LAMCO boost gauge, BLITZ turbo timer, and a MOMO steering wheel, enhancing both performance and driving feel while keeping the car’s character intact.

Beyond its technical appeal, the STi Type R Version V holds a special place in JDM and pop culture history. This is the exact same specification as the car driven by Fujiwara Bunta in Initial D. While the manga and early arcade games depicted the car in gray, the anime immortalized it in Sonic Blue Mica. Its presence in the series solidified the Version V Type R as one of the most recognizable and celebrated Subaru models ever produced.

With its combination of rally pedigree, lightweight two-door body, and cultural significance, this STi Type R Version V stands out as both a collector’s item and an enthusiast’s dream.
