Description
The Subaru Impreza WRC99 represents the pinnacle of Japanese rally engineering and the golden era of World Rally Championship competition, combining the legendary all-wheel-drive prowess of Subaru's boxer engine technology with the exceptional driving talents of Richard Burns and co-driver Robert Reid during their triumphant 1999 Rally Australia victory. This iconic rally machine features the potent turbocharged 2.0-litre flat-four EJ20 engine producing 300 horsepower and 347 lb-ft of torque, paired with Subaru's revolutionary symmetrical all-wheel-drive system and the distinctive blue and yellow livery that became synonymous with rally excellence throughout the 1990s.
