The Subaru WRX STi Type RA was a special edition variant of the VA Subaru WRX STi offered for the 2018 model year. The Type RA was created to celebrate Subaru's Nürburgring lap record for a production sedan, and was offered in World Rally Blue, Black, or White paint. These cars were also equipped with larger 19" wheels, a carbon fiber roof and spoiler, as well as other subtle cosmetic changes on the exterior and exterior. Notably, the Type RA received an increase in power from its turbocharged 2.5L flat four, with output totaling 310hp, which was sent to all four wheels via a 6 speed manual. Exclusive to North America, 575 examples of the Subaru WRX STi Type RA were built, with 500 for the US and 75 for Canada.
