1995 Subaru Impreza WRX
The 1995 Subaru Impreza WRX GC8C is a prime example of Subaru's dedication to rally-inspired performance and engineering. Freshly legal in the U.S. as of March 2020, this model represents a significant evolution in the WRX lineup. Subaru introduced the GC8C as a mid-cycle update, building upon its predecessors with a power boost to 256 HP, up from 240 HP, and the inclusion of larger diameter ventilated disc brakes. These enhancements make the GC8C a more capable and thrilling version of the early WRX models, embodying Subaru’s motorsport heritage.
This particular WRX is an outstanding all-original example, with both the exterior and interior in excellent condition. Finished in Black Diamond Pearl (47A), the paint retains its deep luster, complementing the car’s aggressive yet refined styling. Subaru’s iconic rally-inspired design cues are prominent, with factory rally-style bumpers, a WRX wing, and ultra-rare JDM WRX STI RA wheels—a highly coveted addition, as only 600 sets were ever produced. The new Toyo Proxes R1R tires further enhance its road-gripping capabilities, ensuring both performance and safety.
Under the hood, the GC8C WRX shares the same engine as the first-generation Impreza STI, a turbocharged powerhouse delivering 256 HP. Paired with Subaru's symmetrical all-wheel-drive system and a manual transmission, the car offers an engaging and confidence-inspiring driving experience. Its rally-bred DNA is evident in its ability to handle various terrains with ease, making it a versatile performer both on and off the road.
Inside, the WRX stays true to its sporty roots with factory bucket seats and a Nardi steering wheel. These elements enhance the driver-focused environment while maintaining the car’s original character. The cabin’s layout is simple yet functional, reflecting the performance-first approach that Subaru prioritized in their rally-inspired vehicles.
For collectors and enthusiasts, this 1995 Subaru Impreza WRX GC8C represents an exciting opportunity to own a piece of rally history.
