Never mind if you missed the opportunity to purchase the Hot Wheels RLC Exclusive 1998 Subaru 22B-STi because another one is coming to RLC. Granted, the 1998 Subaru Impreza WRX STi is not the same as the 1:64 die-cast version of the super-limited rally-inspired special Subaru built to celebrate its third consecutive World Rally Championship manufacturers’ title, but it is just as cool.
The 1998 Subaru Impreza WRX STi may look like an ordinary four-door sedan, but anyone who knows rally knows better. Now the legend returns in pocket-sized form as the Hot Wheels RLC Exclusive ’98 Subaru Impreza WRX STi, and it shows up wearing the right attitude.
Finished in Spectraflame slate with proper STi Pink graphics, this 1:64 tribute gets the details right where it matters. Bronze-painted Real Riders 5-spoke wheels complete the look, with matching STi Pink rotors and calipers visible behind them. Lift the hood, and there is even a detailed boxer engine underneath—exactly what a WRX STi should have.
The model rides on a matte-black die-cast chassis with molded exhaust details, while the interior continues the theme with black trim and STi Pink performance seat inserts. Even the lightly smoke-tinted windows help complete the period-correct presence.
As before, it arrives on a blister card inside a Kar Keepers clamshell case, ready for display or safe storage alongside the rest of your RLC lineup.
The Hot Wheels RLC Exclusive ’98 Subaru Impreza WRX STi will be available to order on April 28, 2026, at 9 PM PT for US$28, exclusively for Red Line Club members.
