The Hot Wheels 1998 Subaru Impreza, catalog number JJY62, is a collector’s model released as an RLC Exclusive, available solely through the Red Line Club. This 1:64 scale replica is aimed at adult collectors and fans of Japanese rally heritage; it is distinguished from a standard toy car by its metal base, rubber tires, Spectraflame paint, and an opening hood with a fully detailed engine.

The casting was designed by Brendon Vetuskey and debuted in 2025 in the RLC Exclusive series under catalog number JCP09. The Red Line Club version was extensively reworked compared to the mainline casting, featuring an opening hood that reveals a fully detailed EJ22G engine, a separate metal rear wing, a painted chassis, visible painted brake calipers, and a series of other detail refinements. As of the 2026 model year, the casting is labeled '98 Subaru Impreza WRX STi—the mold itself remains unchanged, with only the legal information on the base having been updated.

The 2026 JJY62 version is finished in Spectraflame slate, a translucent slate-grey paint applied directly over polished metal, reserved for the brand's most exclusive releases. Decoration includes refined headlights in the characteristic "mean eye" shape, taillights and trim, painted brake calipers, the STi logo along with an STi Pink stripe on the sides, and a black Hot Wheels rear license plate reading "FLAT 4". The base is matte black metal, the windows have a light tint, and the interior is finished in a combination of matte black and STi Pink. The model rolls on brown RR5SPM wheels—five-spoke Real Riders with rubber tires. The country of origin is China.

The inspiration for this model is the Subaru Impreza 22B STi—a limited-edition, high-performance variant of the Impreza, designed in part by Hidefumi Kato and Peter Stevens. The car was created to celebrate Subaru’s 40th anniversary and the brand’s third consecutive World Rally Championship title. It was powered by a 2.2-liter turbocharged EJ22G boxer engine producing 280 hp, delivering power to all four wheels. Only 424 units were produced, making the 22B one of the rarest and most expensive Japanese cars of the 90s. The pink STi accent on the model is a nod to the signature color of the Subaru Tecnica International division.

For collectors, the JJY62 is a very distinctive release: understated slate grey paired with STi pink, an opening hood, and painted brake calipers. Red Line Club models do not reach standard retail shelves and immediately become items for the collector secondary market.
