Driving the RAREST and MOST EXPENSIVE Subaru EVER - Subaru Australia's 22B STi

It's not very often you get handed the keys to a museum condition Subaru WRX STi 22B AND an entire race circuit to yourself, but thats exactly what we're up to today. Hopefully we don't blow it up.

Should we fix our 2 Door STI that blew up on the track? The like button improves the head gasket quality.

Did they know Marty's reputation with fast blue 2 doors before they let him behind the wheel?

[Roanish]

Impress-ive that you can review a car without ever showing us what it looks like. We need some 22 B-roll footage.

Now i know you guys are famous and have the insurance to cover anything that may go wrong, but i still can't fathom the fact that they allowed anyone to drive this car. especially knowing it only has 7000kms on the clock. you guys are so blessed to have that experience.

These things were $75k in New Zealand when new. That was a LOT of money back then.
I got to work on one as a car audio tech & it didnt feel like a $75k car back then: just another WRX.

You guys left your DNA all over that Subi. Value went up 23% 😂

EJ22 closed deck block. The best subaru engine

That sound makes me miss my stock MY02 WRX. It was the only quick car I ever drove and even without any mods, to me it was magic.

Just a casual drive around the farm in a 22B :) Awesome effort to get behind the wheel of one of those guys.

[Pethers]

Awesome original car. Love it. Thanks guys. You're so lucky to drive that special car!

I know of a 22B in my home country that was converted to LHD back in maybe 2006-2007. I'd imagine those sorts of modifications would've seriously hurt its value, but back then nobody could've imagined in their wildest dreams that these cars would become so insanely valuable.

Subaru Impreza P25: there’s that unique / specified 2-door model for sale in the UK just now for almost £800k - good car but???……….Build your 2-door fellas, pls💰 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I remember my best friend's neighbour used to park his 22b outside. As a 19 year old playing Gran Turismo 2 Endurance races all night I used to chubb up at the sight of it when leaving in the pre dawn light as I got in my mint 33k miles mini deluxe and headed home. Those were the days...

[TrackRecord]

That's a great private track. Great Subaru, not in anyone's wildest dreams would they believe it's future value would be almost 1 million dollars to buy one. It's crazy just thinking about that.

Gotta get down to Adelaide at some point and check out the SJ22B, it's the complete antithesis of this example. Fully built race car, probably one of the few 22Bs in the world that's actually used hard

[barsaf]

Thats awesome that they let you guys drive it! Amazing!!

[Alex-Walker]

I was at a track day a few months ago at Chadwell park in the UK and there was a 22b there. Battle scarred and beat up. Mad

[rkrenicki]

While the 22B is indeed rare at only (about) 400 units ever being made, there are rarer models. And no, I am not one of those "there were only 152 of this super popular model made in this paint color!" kind of people... (I am looking squarely at those Acadia Green Impreza 2.5RS owners, all of the 2005 Legacy GT owners, and others just like them)

There were only 300 S201s, 300 STi Spec C Type RA-Rs, 300 Impreza UK300s, and the rarest single model that I know of: Legacy S401 with only 286 made out of the planned 400. Many of the leftover parts for the unbuilt S401s became the 2003 Legacy S-Edition.

[appreciatingclassics]

Excellent! Very special cars, and like you say, if you know, you know. To many people they are just another blue Subaru, but to others it is an absolute dream, the unicorn car of the generation in many ways.

Gold star for episode, lads. Well done!!
