Marque analyst note
The Subaru Impreza 22B-STi represents one of the rarest modern Japanese performance cars, with only five units ever produced for the North American market. This extreme scarcity alone places it in the uppermost tier of collectibility, though reliable pricing data remains elusive due to the vanishingly small number of transactions.
No sales of the 22B-STi have been tracked in the US market over the past 12 months, and active listings are currently absent. This illiquidity reflects both the car's rarity and the reality that owners rarely part with such singular machines once acquired.
When these cars do change hands, they typically command six-figure sums reflective of their production scarcity and historical significance within Subaru's motorsport lineage. However, without recent comparable sales, establishing a firm current market price is not possible.
The desirability metric for this model sits paradoxically low despite its Holy Grail collectibility score, likely because traditional market demand indicators struggle to apply to cars this rare. The 22B-STi operates outside conventional market dynamics—its value is driven primarily by extreme production limits and the reverential status it holds among Japanese automotive enthusiasts rather than typical supply-and-demand patterns.
Prospective buyers should expect that acquiring one of these five cars will depend heavily on private networking and direct outreach to known owners, as public market activity remains negligible. Price discovery in this segment occurs through negotiation rather than auction trends.
