This is a 1998 Subaru Impreza 22B STi. Designed by Hidefumi Kato, Akira Teshima, Peter Stevens and David Lapworth among others, the 22B STi was a special version of the Impreza WRX STi.

Introduced to celebrate Subaru's 40th anniversary as well as their third consecutive win in the World Endurance Championship, the 22B STi was developed in combination with Prodrive, Subaru's technical partner for the FIA World Endurance Championship. Produced in highly limited numbers, the 22B STi was priced at ¥5m; the "22B" nomenclature is a subject of some debate with a number of different theories as to why the car was named as such.

Under the hood of the 22B STi is a 2.2L EJ22G turbocharged flat-4 mated to a specialized close ratio 5-speed Subaru TY752VB6SZ manual with a driver-controlled center differential. The engine produced 276 horsepower and was enhanced by electronic fuel injection and an IHI RHF5HB turbocharger. The car's bodywork was unique, with wider fenders and a unique hood and other bodywork taken from the Impreza WRC.

The car was built from a WRX Type R chassis and the necessary modifications to make the car a 22B STi were added during production such as the modified fenders and hood. The cars were built for a relatively short period between March and August 1998. 424 were produced, with 400 going to the Japanese market and the other 24 for export; the full allotment of 400 cars for Japan is said to have sold out between 30 minutes to 48 hours depending on who you ask.

Now this casting was designed by Brendon Vetuskey and introduced in 2025 in the Red Line Club. It is in effect an enhanced version of Ryu Asada's 22B mainline casting introduced in 2020. This is currently its only release although a second is expected in 2026.
The 1998 Subaru Impreza 22B STi-Version is a Hot Wheels casting debuting as an RLC exclusive in 2025. It features an opening hood.

This casting was renamed to become the 1998 Subaru Impreza WRX STi from 2026 onwards; no changes were made to the casting itself apart from the legal information on the base being changed. This change was made to allow for more flexibility in colors for releases since the 22B was only available in WR Blue Mica.

This is a '98 Subaru Impreza WRX 22B STi-Version. Designed by Hidefumi Kato and Akira Teshima, the 22B was a special performance-oriented version of the GC8E Impreza. Powered by a 2.2L EJ22G turbocharged flat-4 making 276 BHP, the 22B was intended to recreate the look and feel of the Impreza WRC97, which won the World Rally Constructor's Championship in 1997, Subaru's third and their last in the WRC.

Sold to also commemorate Subaru's 40th anniversary, the 22B featured a number of changes compared to the standard GC8E, such as a new bodykit taken from the WRC car as designed by Peter Stevens, as well as a unique shade of blue, slightly larger wheels, Bilstein suspension, red STi brakes and an upgraded clutch. Produced between March and August 1998, 424 were produced, consisting of 400 Japanese market models and 24 export models; depending on reports all 400 Japanese cars were sold out quickly, a common figure being cited being between 30 minutes to 48 hours.

Now this casting was designed by the late Ryu Asada and introduced in 2020 in the HW Turbo segment of the mainline. This casting has seen eight known releases, the last being this in 2022. A ninth is on the horizon.
