Subaru built the limited-run 22B STi to celebrate its 40th anniversary and third consecutive World Rally Championship title. In addition to the World Rally Blue paint, the car includes a vented aluminum hood with an enlarged scoop, widened fenders, rocker extensions, and an adjustable rear wing. The car sits on 17-inch gold-finished BBS alloy wheels wrapped in 235/40 Dunlop Direzza ZII tires.

Coupled to this engine is a five-speed manual transmission sending power through all four wheels. The listing adds that the car has 40,000 km (~25,000 miles) on the clock.
