Description
Built to celebrate both the marque's 40th anniversary and its third straight WRC manufacturers' title, the 22B STi was billed as the production version of Subaru's already-iconic two-door World Rally Car.
With its beefy front and rear arches increasing width by 80mm, a high-rise rear spoiler and the unique EJ22 engine, the 22B was as close to Colin McRae's rally car as any mortal was ever going to get.
It wasn't so much an homologation special but more of a road-going replica.
Often misunderstood, the 22B in the model's name is derived from the car's '555' WRC sponsorship.
Five hundred and fifty-five is 22B in hexadecimal, the number base used in computer programming.
At the time, the IT world was booming and the Impreza was the icon car for successful IT contractors in both the UK and Japan alike.
‘22B’ is often incorrectly attributed to the engine capacity, which was increased from 1,994cc to 2,212cc.
The 'B', meanwhile, supposedly stood for Bilstein, the damper supplier.
