Subaru Impreza 2.0 WRX 2005

The history of the Subaru Impreza WRX

Subaru is a name synonymous with reliability, performance, and an unparalleled rally heritage. The Japanese brand began its motorsport journey in the 1980s, but it was the Impreza WRX that took the world by storm in the 1990s and 2000s. Thanks to legendary drivers such as Colin McRae, Richard Burns, and Petter Solberg, Subaru became a dominant force in the World Rally Championship (WRC), with the WRX STi achieving an iconic status.

The 2. 0 WRX is one of the most sought-after versions, featuring the legendary 2. 0-liter turbo boxer engine. This model was specifically developed to meet WRC homologation regulations, meaning it is not just a high-performance road car but also a direct descendant of the machines that conquered the most challenging rally stages worldwide.

The driving experience

Step inside and immediately feel embraced by the bucket seats, designed to hold you firmly in place as you turn the key. The 2. 0-liter turbocharged engine awakens with a signature boxer rumble that sets your pulse racing. The 5-speed manual transmission invites you to truly engage with the car, and as you press the accelerator, you feel the raw power of 224 hp and 300 Nm of torque.

The all-wheel-drive system grips the asphalt, providing unmatched control, even at high speeds and through tight corners. Whether you're tackling a winding mountain road or launching down the highway, the Impreza WRX delivers a driving experience unlike anything else. The responsive steering, the mechanical feel of the gearbox, and the unmistakable Subaru soundtrack under the hood make every drive an adrenaline-fueled thrill. This isn’t just a car—it’s pure motorsport on four wheels.

rarity and collectibility

What makes this Subaru Impreza 2. 0 WRX truly special is its rarity. This model was originally delivered in the Netherlands and has been preserved in exceptionally good condition. In a world where many of these cars have been modified or driven to the limit, finding an example with just 45, 536 kilometers on the odometer is a true rarity.

The 2. 0-liter version is particularly sought after by collectors, as later generations switched to a 2. 5-liter engine, which is less favored. The combination of the iconic boxer engine, a 6-speed manual transmission, and Subaru’s legendary all-wheel-drive system makes this a car already considered a future classic.
