If you ever wondered why a 911 GT3 RS comes standard with AC, and it is an expensive option to not have it in the car, I can explain why. It's because Porsche are fanatical about lap times. And they discovered a long time ago that a cool driver is much faster than a hot driver. PS. I have one of the rarest GF8s of all time; a 1997 Tommy kaira M20b wagon, in spectacular condition. I also have Porsches, but I daily the little TK. I describe it as "two thirds of a 911 turbo wagon", and with a massively reinforced 5-speed close ratio RA gearbox (7500rpm redline at 215kmh!), lots of tune, it is one of the most exciting cars I have ever driven. I've had it for 6 years, and I'll probably have it for another 6 years. :)

roof scoop are not for cooling. They are to provide positive pressure to the cabin to help keep dust out

Maybe it's because I just got home from roller skating, but I didn't notice that microphone was there until about 1 minute and 42 seconds into the video.

Someone need to put together a list of the rare Legacy and Forestor models. The Legacy was really popular in Japan and got some really crazy rare models. Nevermind ,the s40x, tuned by STI or Spec Bs models look up the Porsche design Legacy Blitzen.

I love my rare Subaru, I have a Canadian specR1 wrx (#12/125). Just makes it feel special and different. Also the sonic yellow is such a nice colour!

In Greece in the early 2000s due to cars being taxed based on their cc the WRX and WRX STi though popular were very expensive . For that reason Greek dealerships started tuning the base model 1.6 with a turbo kit ,larger injectors , stiffer and lower coilovers and with some exterior upgrades. The cars, called 1.6TS , were somewhat popular but they also were very unreliable. They were offered in Sedan and Hatchback form

If your a Subaru fan and dont know who Colin Mcrae is, you've been living under a rock. My mate owned a Mcrae edition years ago. Absolute beast it was and a collectable over here in the U.K now, along with the RB320 which you see for around 25k now

My stepdad had a WR1 when I was in my teens. Was an excellent car. Except when he sat in the garage "warming it up" (see also revving the fuck out of it) at 6am before he went to work. Hated the thing then.

Very good production and entertaining video I thoroughly enjoyed watching this. also the 2JZ build....I'm all over that!!

My all time favorite Subaru limited model was the Impreza Gravel Express. If more crossovers were done like that, the car community would probably have a lot less hate for them

Prodrive didn’t work closely with the Subaru works rally team. They were the Subaru works rally team. Also, it’s pronounced Pet-ter Solberg. Not Pee-ter Solberg. 👍🏻

First video I have watched from this channel and I hella like the vibe! Keep up the work!!

Love this video, I have 1 of the 200 black sports special GC8's so finding a video like this is so good to learn more models ✌️

Great video, production and presentation is great. Do more! Also... You guys still giving love to bugeyes over there at circuit demon?

I know a Subaru many of you never heard of. It was a special edition for the gc8 Impreza it was called the „Holzer Edition“ it was only released in Germany and some nearby countries. The car was only available in silver or red with the interior in matching color. Also the car had a very pleasing bodykit with nice looking rims you can only find on the Holzer. Although it is N/A with 125hp, it actually got a special exhaust system from Prodrive.

There is also a Saab 9-2x ( an Subaru Impreza wagon). They are very cool in my opinion.

Can’t believe you didn’t include the Impreza type r, classic shape.

there are a lot of rare subarus in NZ. the reason being of the late peter possum bournes long rally association (just missed out on joining the APRC: asia pacific rally championship) with subaru. google him its a sad tale. his workshop still lives on specialzing in subarus. you missed the gravel express and the B4 & B4 blitzen missed the GT and GTB (b is for bilstien shock package)

You got one thing wrong. the 2017 final edition did NOT have green brembos. It has them silver. And the stock 19" enkei wheels are not dark grey but golden oem. the rest are accessories, indeed.

I've got an '01 WRX UK300 which was built to commemorate Richard Burns winning the WRC that year. Limited to 300 models (going up to 303 following the no #13 rule). Had some nice Prodrive parts on them, particularly the headlights that seem to be very sought after. also has a special Prodrive spoiler, front bumper lip (which mine is unfortunately missing), Prodrive/OZ racing 18" wheels, and a bunch of UK300 branded floor mats, badges and a plaque somewhere in the interior, which oddly seems to be in different places at random.

Was lucky enough to score some series McRae recaros a few years ago and absolutely love them 👍

I have a black 2003 Type UK WRX STI with the Prodrive performance package, absolutely loving it. They are relatively rare over here in UK, generally speaking. When I'm out and about I probably see another Impreza maybe once or twice every few months. Great presentation btw thumbs up. ps. It's *Petter* Solberg btw, not "Peter" ;-)

of rare Subaru Impreza's you always got the one that is a Subaru Impreza but isn't a Impreza, nor is it a Subaru. it's a SAAB 9-2X! and it's basically a Impreza wagon with the front incl. lights of an SAAB 9-3, and for long was half the price of the car with Subaru logo.

Need to add some legacy/liberty content. Great car would’ve been the s401/s402. Great car and extremely rare. Like borderline unheard of except for leggy community. Otherwise great video, I’m suprised you’ve only got a couple thousand with the quality I fully expected 100k+

Have a friend who owns a series McRae. Lovely motor. Another friend with a WR1. And a guy that goes to shows with him has a genuine 22b. I have a 2002 wrx wagon. Don’t see many of them nowadays either.

I love my WR1, it's a massive leap forward over the standard STI

Great video!

I actually have the Sauber Petronas seats in my subaru legacy. They are nice an suuuuuper rare. The rarest subaru Parts i own.

We need a part 2 of this

I own a Subaru Forester STI type 2 M. It's pretty much as stock as it came with beautiful 5 spoke STI Rays original alloys! The car needs more coverage. Drives and performs beautifully. Great video, my friend ✨️

I have a rare model you've probably never heard of it as it was UK only. Its a bugeye UK300, the one in my profile pic. Those lights are oem. Peter Stevens helped prodrive make it after Burns rally success. Unique spoiler, (apparently the only 1 wind tunnel tested) rare 18" oz pwrc 1 wheels, and more downforce at the front. Plus some other bits. As the name suggests only 300 were made

Please do a special edition about the Evo’s. it would be great to see a mention for the Evo X TMR Bathurst edition which was an Australia special.

The UK Subaru scene is so different to that in the US and this list shows why. The Subarus we have are fucking awesome

That Subaru Impreza with the round lights seems to have been inspired by the Dodge Neon round lights.

By the way wr1’s colour is also special because no other Impreza was produced in that colour called ice blue metallic

Great video, I’ve just bought a prodrive bug eye

This was one of the best videos ever ❤😮

I'll never have a "rare subaru" but i do love all these GD WRXs.

Whats with the s201 gc8?

I think this list should be named "10 rare Imprezzas you've never heard of" And you could make one on Subarus, like the SVX/Alcyone, the Exiga, the Levorg, Bratt, Baja... P.S. From this list definitely RB320 is my favorite back in the day it was my thing when everyone was into Supras, 430s and GTRs.

That Rb320 looks sick af

When I was looking for my first car I stumbled upon a fairly cheap Impreza... It was a "Holzer" Edition and turns out it's RWD but with the small engine. Didnt get it at that time but would sure be unique.

My favorite is the Travis hatchback . I need one. I love the hatchback WRX

"10 Rare Subarus You've NEVER Heard Of" ... chill, chill, we have heard about them xD

In greece we have a 1600 cc turbo impreza for the bug and blob gens, they call it the subaru impreza ts

Impreza GP 2013 have an STI?

I wish you included the Casa blanca, it's one heck of it's kind, it's based off of an Impreza is my memory serves me right

I may be in the minority, but I really love that Type Euro Turbo. There's something so goofy and awesome about it lol

You missed out on the Legacy models. Just like most people. That's cool, that just keep the secret less expensive.

What about the Bugeye UK300??

My favorit shape is the bug eye sti whith factory rally decal.😁

Can’t talk about the WRX STI without mentioning the Evo. Can’t wait for the next video.

I own a set of WE xd9 18x10 😊 beautiful wheel but I didn't know they brought them out on a special edition subie

Subaru wrx sti available in semi automatic called WRX STI A-Line in stinkeye generation. Only available in selected asian market like japan, Hongkong, thailand , singapore and Indonesia

Check out the 2002 Subaru Prodrive style. Only 958 built and only in blue and white. Only 230 odd in white

Another worthy mentions are the Subaru pleo nesta with it's different variants, and The Subaru Leone models are that rare iirc as I don't see them mentioned often anywherr

There's a Euro version for sale in the UK just now on Autotrader

The type euro looks almost identical to the BH/BE blitzen, which was born out of the same partnership

PETTER, like PATTER. Definitely NOT Peter. Ok, Lois? 😂

I always thought the diesel wrx was an interesting and quirky model

That's a Type RA Spec C, just spec C were the generation after late 2002> and they were sold for competition use in 16" form, they're not themselves homologation cars though. I have an 03, very wild cars compared to normal STI 👍

2006 Subaru Impreza WRX STi Spec C type RA-R

I've only seen one STi bug eye wagon on the road when I was in Japan.

I miss my WR1. It wss handed down to me by my dad and recently got written off. I was driving through a green light and a woman ran the red light hitting the rear quarter panel

That wr1 😮🤤

the 03 s401 legacy is personally my favourite limited edition subie

22B? but to be honest I find legacy wagons to sexy to pass up.

I swear there's no one subaru fan that knows every subaru special edition, there are too many... I personally own an impreza www 66/200 (world wide winner, made for the italian market to celebrate the 3 world championship wins)

How rare is a Subaru Forester sf5 mk1 2001 face lift turbo S ej205N manual uk spec cheers .

No mention of the S201 and subsequent models? Also RB5, type RA etc etc

I love my 1999 GC8 WRX in arcadia Green with the greatest interioir i have ever seen in a production car.

You should cover the Saab 9-2x aero

You missed one the cosworth subaru and this other one. I don't remember the name, but I was rad with white stripes.

13 in an unlucky number in Japan and all standard subarus will not have any 13mm nuts or bolts so if you find some that means someone been playing on the car

Prodrive ran Subaru's WRC until Subaru pulled out in 2008. Prodrive also co-owned Ford's Australian Tuning arm, FPV.

A company called zunsport make the mesh grills I don't know if there just UK based

What about the Nissan Pulsar GTiR hatchback 4WD?

id love a s402 legacy

I have a 2003 spec-c great car 😊

The 2018 STI was never a WRX edition, kinda seems as though that's how it was presented here. They took the WRX spec away from that model onwards.

There was a v limited in 96 gc8 body style

2010 R205 Impreza WRX STi. 400 built in Japan

I want to import the legacy B4 Blitzen next yr..

Dude my nickname is literally "Subaru Nerd" lol

here in aus subaru is one ofthe most popular sport cars because of price, performance, and looks, I know 2 people with a 2011 and 2015 wrx, I've got a 1998 Subaru forester sf that I wanna turbo (I'm gonna leave it cause I've not got my full licence yet).

Someone on NASIOC had that type euro one if im not mistaken was female owned. Wanted the kit so badly when I had my wagon.

I had a 2003 Liberty B4 when I lived in australia... What made it unique was we after probably too much money and custom tuning had a twin vf34 running on stock ecu with semi close stock timing and boost values. Made about 240kw on 98. Those ej208s can take a POUNDING. It was my daily -_- which in hindsight was many bad ideas. I didnt have kids back then though! Due to my state in Australia being basically Florida on steroids with saltwater crocs not coward gators... It was straight piped :) single exit. The vallley of death and box of death were real though, stock to how we had it... that valley is inescapable and the vaccuum lines was just stupidity. Now I run a lifted vf52 bolt ons 180kw 07 cross sports forester :) ej205 avcs. Ive only ever owned ej20s... and not really interested in the other engines.

I have a 95 JDM wrx in the blue mica same colour as the McRae edition

Finally a dude that knows subies more than the bs they released in America for 20 prior... good job

also the 20K Turbo AT wagon that I have...

Legacy blitzen versions?

Damn no bugeye sti wagon love?

Nooooo, the shame of the Casa Blanca... I have a 2009 spec c, rest assured the spec c's make the stock STi's feel tame

I've a Type Euro Turbo! Mine has the OEM wheels as shown, which you could only get on the turbo model, though sadly mine were painted black by the previous owner

I would include the Legacy 2.5GT Wagon with a 5 speed. Only 1670 of those ever made for the states.

They also teamed up with cosworth releasing the Subaru Impreza sti cosworth cs400

There is also the Tommy Kaira variants

Do the Subaru Legacy B4

What about the bm legacy’s

subaru s201, just the s200 line. also because im bais the gf8 lol. everyone has heard of the 22b and the sedan. but the wagon is more rare than you think especially the double big spoilers in the back
