This RXi sedan isn't just another early-2000s Impreza it's an NZ-new example brought out specifically to commemorate the 2001 Rally of New Zealand, and more specifically the iconic Motu section of that event. For Subaru enthusiasts and rally fans alike, that kind of documented, purpose-built provenance is becoming vanishingly rare, and it puts this car in a different category entirely from the average sedan of its era.

Finished in black and wearing the era-correct WRX-style aero kit deep front bumper, side skirts, and rear wing it carries the aggressive stance that defined early-2000s Subaru performance sedans, and one that suits its commemorative rally links perfectly. Power comes from Subaru's 2.0-litre turbocharged flat-four, paired with a 5-speed manual gearbox and the brand's permanent 4WD system, delivering the same fundamental driving character that made these cars so formidable on New Zealand's rally stages.

For collectors, the appeal here goes beyond the drivetrain or the styling it's the story. A car built to commemorate one of New Zealand's most storied motorsport events, tied directly to the legendary Motu section of the Rally of New Zealand, is exactly the kind of provenance that only becomes more significant with time.
