HJA are delighted to offer this exceptionally rare 2013 Subaru Impreza WRX STI tS Type RA NBR Challenge, finished in the stunning factory Tangerine Orange Pearl (G2U).


Currently making its way from Japan, this fantastic example has just 55,075km from new, graded 4.5/B at a Japanese auction, and still retains its original factory paintwork.


With only 200 NBR Challenge examples produced, these are already rare especially in this striking factory colour.



A LITTLE ABOUT THE TYPE RA NBR CHALLENGE

Subaru has a long history of producing some fantastic limited-edition performance cars, and the tS Type RA NBR Challenge is certainly one of the more special examples.


Developed by Subaru Tecnica International (STI), the Type RA was inspired by Subaru's motorsport success, particularly its class victories at the Nürburgring 24 Hours in 2011 and 2012.


Rather than focusing on increasing horsepower, STI concentrated on improving the car's handling, braking and overall driving experience.

The Type RA received specially tuned suspension, additional chassis bracing, a quicker steering rack and upgraded Brembo brakes, making it one of the most focused versions of the GVB STI.


The NBR Challenge Package took things further, adding several exclusive factory features.


FACTORY SPECIFICATION & HIGHLIGHTS:

• STI-tuned suspension (Now running Tein) and chassis upgrades

• Quick-ratio steering rack

• Brembo 6-pot front and 2-pot rear brakes

• Factory 18" forged BBS alloy wheels

• Large STI carbon fibre rear spoiler

• RECARO front sports seats

• STI front under spoiler

• STI flexible front strut brace

• Exclusive tS / Type RA badging

• Limited-edition NBR Challenge details

 

A RARE PIECE OF SUBARU HISTORY

Only 300 tS Type RA models were produced, with just 200 receiving the NBR Challenge Package.

Finished in Tangerine Orange Pearl, this particular example is especially appealing, with a reported 69 NBR Challenge cars produced in this colour.

Originally offered exclusively to the Japanese market, these limited-edition STIs are becoming increasingly difficult to source, especially in good original condition.


With its low mileage, excellent auction grade, factory paintwork and limited production numbers, we feel this would make a fantastic addition to any Subaru enthusiast's or collector's garage.
