Overview

This Subaru Impreza WRX STI Spec C is a true driver’s machine, built with performance in mind and stripped back to deliver a more focused and raw driving experience. Finished in black with black alloys and a matching black interior, this manual example has covered 186,675 km and is graded 3.5, which will be reflected in the auction value.

The Spec C sits above the standard STI in terms of performance intent. It was developed as a lightweight, competition-focused variant, featuring reduced weight, revised suspension tuning and motorsport-inspired engineering. These cars are increasingly sought after by enthusiasts who understand what the Spec C represents.

While the exterior grade reflects cosmetic wear and age-related use, the interior remains a solid B grade, showing that the cabin has been reasonably well maintained.
