Some cars leave a paper trail; the Subaru STI E-RA Concept left a name, a year — 2022 — and a place in Subaru's list. What follows is what can be said with a source behind it.
Where it came from
The Subaru STI E-RA is a racing vehicle equipped with a battery-electric drivetrain. It was developed by Subaru's performance and racing division Subaru Tecnica International (STI). The car's initials stand for "Electric—Record Attempt", keeping with STI's tradition of designating its highest-performance models with the "RA" label; a concept car prototype debuted at the Tokyo Auto Salon in January 2022.
In context
On a showroom list of its day it stood against the Nissan Z, the Tesla Cybertruck, the Kia EV6. Nearby in the Subaru catalogue sit the Subaru Chiffon and the Subaru Lucra.
