Yep, limited edition production car. It's even in the 1st 2 editions of the Impreza volumes of Hyper Rev. Only 5000 models produced in '98 after it was demo'd at the '97 Tokyo Motor Show.

There's a cult following for them in Japan, to the point that their's a Casablanca Owners' Club!

Oh, and here are scans of the original brochures for the Casablanca
