Is this the next WRX ?

[newsuba]

Bit of a mishmash of Euro and Jap styling cues but still the best looking WRX since the GC8.

The best thing they could do is build the concept as is and not fuck the design around like they did with the 86.

;D

That\'s sick

[tebbyj]

Looks like Subarus design department might have finally sobered up...

Almost mustangish from the front with the big bonnet bulge.

Needs to be a Coupe...

+1 Way better looking than the 2012 sedan. Wonder what the hatch will look like.

[boon]

I\'d tap that. Looks staunch. Front quarter from side-on is quite Evo X though I think.

[ryn]

That\'s awesome! Do want.

Only just came across this thread and this ^^^^^ is exactly what I thought. Very very cool looking car, no doubt Subaru will stuff it up before it hits the shelves.

[Johnnynz]

Not sure about the headlights but overall I like it.

[EJ20T]

Proportions slightly off but I like it much better than the current wrx and sti. I might sound sick but I really like the current impreza sedan, the premium sedan in silver almost looks like a BE b4

[94 Leone]

I like the 6-pots up front and four pots down back

[Andy_Mac]

That front end is pure sex. That front end looks quite a lot like the new jags which are some of the best looking cars around these days. Still not so sure on the rear end though. Doesn\'t have the same flair as the front.

[WRXER]

Awesome, so who will put chromes on it first and turn it into a car crime

[DacerX]

Im not sure of it.. seems too high

Hopefully; with those brakes: it\'ll be hard for idiots to find chromes that fit

[funkytown]

They\'re saving that for the STI

[WRXER]

Liking it alot, seriously going forwards I\'ll be worrying about what horrendous aftermarket bodykits will be made for it.....Geez must be getting old, when aftermarket bits for me now represent zoom zoom stuff not aesthetics so much. 10 years ago it was the opposite haha

New York - Subaru of America, Inc. today unveiled the SUBARU WRX CONCEPT at the 2013 New York International Auto Show at the Jacob K. Javits Center. The design concept hints at the design language of the next generation WRX.

The bold and muscular design emphasizes turbocharged power and AWD grip in a more agile and athletic form. The SUBARU WRX CONCEPT blends the WRX’s famous power and road-holding prowess with an even greater focus on sharp handling, steering and communicative chassis. To further improve handling dynamics, the SUBARU WRX CONCEPT features a carbon-fiber roof to enhance the already low center of gravity and reduce weight.

Considerably lower, sleeker and wider, the SUBARU WRX CONCEPT delivers even more street presence than previous generations of WRX. The new grille design is larger and bolder and sets off the classic WRX hood scoop. A pronounced powerbulge provides clearance for the new turbocharged engine and intercooler. A prominent hexagonal grille form and deep lower valences with air intakes are designed to enhance aerodynamics, add downforce and aid engine cooling.

The three dimensional mesh pattern of the grille denotes the sporting nature of the SUBARU WRX CONCEPT and sets the Subaru star cluster apart, while the new hawk-eye headlights integrate the Subaru family design heritage.

A sharp character line runs from the front corner through to the taillights, intersected by the boldly flared wheel arches emphasizing the Subaru’s AWD system. The compact cabin greenhouse draws attention to the power and solidity of the body and focuses attention to wide stance that provides a visual link between body and chassis.

The rear design echoes the hexagonal design motif from the front grille and features a dramatically curved trunk lid that also acts as a rear spoiler. The distinctive wide rear bumper of the SUBARU WRX CONCEPT adds to the powerful street presence of the car and is off-set by large quad tailpipes denoting the powerful turbocharged engine. The aggressive rear diffuser improves vehicles aerodynamics.

The all-new SUBARU WRX CONCEPT features a new paint color, “WR Blue Pearl III”, which modernizes the iconic WRX look. Fluorescent Yellow is used as an accent on the WRX badge on the front grille, the brake calipers and the exhaust tip finishers, adding character notes to the design.

Filling out the broad fenders are BBS “RI-D” One Piece Forged Duralumin wheels and featuring 245/40ZR20 Dunlop tires with an exclusive tread pattern.

Key Dimensions

(Overall Length x Width x Height): (178.0in x 74.4in x 54.7in), Wheelbase: (108.7 in.)
