About the 1999 Subaru Impreza WRX STi Type R in Forza Horizon
Rally machinery is the ultimate cross-discipline platform — cars built to handle gravel, tarmac, snow, and weather transitions in a single stage. 1999 Subaru Impreza WRX STi Type R carries that DNA. Forza Horizon's surface variety and weather system give rally-bred chassis their best chance to display the breadth of their setup envelope.
The 1990s were a creative high point for Subaru performance machinery — tighter regulations had not yet limited engine breathing, and tuner-shop culture was at its peak. Horizon's roster leans heavily into this decade.
