Treat yourself to an ex-Ken Block Subaru WRX STI

We can no longer count the cars in the controls that the American Ken Block has delighted his fans through his “Gymkhana” series, or during the sports events that he participated in throughout his career. This 2006 Subaru WRX STI chassis is one of the cars that allowed the American driver to show his talent, until his popularity exploded with the broadcast of the first episode of the “Gymkhana” series in 2008.

The Subaru WRX STI offered here for sale by Bring a Trailer is identical to the one used in the first opus of the “Gymkhana” saga that made Ken Block famous.

2004 2.5 RS model converted to 2006 specs

This Subaru Impreza, originally a 2.5 RS model from 2004, was qualified for competition by Vermont SportsCar of Milton, Vermont, USA, with a view to participating in its 2006 Open Championship.

The car, dressed in black with Monster Energy branding, sits on a set of 15-inch Speedline Corse Rally rims in a gold finish. It has a 2.0-liter flat-four turbo unit whose power is sent to all four wheels of the car through a 5-speed manual gearbox supplied by KAPS, a driver-controlled center differential, Cusco differentials (front and rear . ) and Öhlins absorbers.

On the inside, this Subaru WRX STI has custom Recaro Pro Racer SPA HANS bucket seats, Sabelt six-point harness, Sparco three-spoke steering wheel, roll bar and Giant Coralba computer.

This Subaru WRX STI, which has been modified many times after leaving the track and other incidents during the race, should find a buyer among many Ken Block fans. At the time of writing, the selling price of this car, which is being auctioned until December 20, was $60,543.
