A partial list of notable equipment includes 19-inch BBS wheels, front and rear limited-slip differentials, Brembo performance brakes, a carbon fiber roof panel, heated front Recaro seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, and a 7-inch infotainment system with Bluetooth connectivity.
Notable modifications are extensive, and a list is detailed below.

The WRX STI Type RA limited edition was introduced for the 2018 model year to celebrate Subaru’s record-setting lap at the Nurburgring in July 2017. It featured a number of lightweight options as standard, including a carbon-fiber roof, a carbon-fiber pedestal wing, and forged BBS wheels. Engine power was slightly increased to 310 horsepower thanks to a cold air intake, high flow performance exhaust, and a retuned ECU. This WRX STI Type RA is #277 out of 500 produced, according to a plaque on the center console.
Power comes from a 2.5-liter turbocharged flat-4, rated at 310 horsepower and 290 lb-ft of torque in stock form. Due to the modifications performed to this Subaru, it may produce more power, but a dyno sheet was not provided to confirm. Output is sent to all four wheels via a 6-speed manual transmission and Subaru’s Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system.
