About the Subaru Impreza #4 C. McRae / D. Ringer Winner RAC Rally 1994 Kyosho 1:18

TL;DR: Kyosho's 1:18 diecast Subaru Impreza #4 reproduces Colin McRae and Derek Ringer's win on the 1994 RAC Rally, cast in zinc alloy with the blue and gold 555 works livery. A home victory on British forest stages by the driver most closely associated with Subaru's rise in the UK.

For British rally fans, no result carries quite the weight of a home win on the RAC. Colin McRae taking this Impreza to victory on Britain's own round of the World Rally Championship is exactly that moment.

RAC Rally, Britain's Home Round

Forest Stages and National Pride

The RAC Rally ran through the forests of England, Wales, and Scotland, drawing huge crowds to stages that were far more accessible to British spectators than any overseas round of the championship. That accessibility, combined with a home driver genuinely fighting for victory, gave the event a different emotional weight in the UK than any other date on the WRC calendar, and McRae's 1994 win landed squarely into that appetite.

McRae and Ringer's Rise at Subaru

Colin McRae and co-driver Derek Ringer had already established themselves as one of the sport's most committed pairings, McRae's aggressive, all-or-nothing driving style becoming something of a trademark long before his eventual world title. A home win in 1994, a year before that championship, marked the moment British fans could point to genuine, sustained front-running form rather than isolated flashes of speed.

Kyosho's 555 Livery Cast in Zinc Alloy

Number 4 Graphics and Panel Consistency

The blue body carries the gold sponsor graphics with clean, sharp registration, the number 4 door decal holding its edges cleanly across the flared arches rather than distorting where the panel curves. Shut lines around the bonnet and boot stay tight and even, and the zinc alloy body gives the model genuine weight, a heft that signals proper die-cast construction rather than a lightweight promotional casting.

Works Detailing Beyond the Livery

Bonnet-mounted lighting pods, a roof scoop, and underbody skid protection are all represented, giving the model the full visual signature of a properly prepared works rally car rather than a road Impreza with a livery layered over it. This sits at a standard mid-tier diecast finish, honest panel work and a correctly balanced livery rather than the hand-finished paint depth of ultra-premium resin, which keeps an important British motorsport moment within reach for most collectors.

A Cornerstone for a British Rallying Shelf

At roughly 24cm long, this Impreza shares its footprint with other 1:18 555-era Subarus, making it straightforward to build a run of McRae's career alongside his later title-winning cars. For UK collectors specifically, a home RAC win carries a different resonance than an overseas victory, and displaying this car alongside period British motorsport memorabilia, rather than purely among international WRC entries, is where it earns its place most naturally. It is as much a piece of British rallying history as it is a Subaru model.
