Subaru WRX Concept hints at big performance, offers few facts
http://ca.autoblog.com/2013/03/28/subaru-wrx-concept-new-york-2013/
We're looking at a design statement only at this point, but we would love to see this coupe-like WRX sedan come to fruition. Subaru has dropped the curtain on its truly attractive WRX Concept and, as previewed by a previous design concept, we're fast fans of the wide, low, muscular sedan. The concept car looks great, but there was a distinct lack of information being offered about the next-generation WRX that is sure to follow this concept.
Still, Subaru's press release does offer some more detail about both the concept and the car to come. You'll be hard pressed not to notice that the car's roof has been constructed entirely of carbon fibre, a move that designers have used to lower the center of gravity and reduce weight. Get past the gaping hood scoop and you'll also notice that that the concept car has a rather prominent power bulge sticking out of its hood, better to accommodate a "new turbocharged engine and intercooler."
In front, the massive hexagonal grille provides a strong full forward view, and the lower fascia incorporates sculpted air intakes that are said to help the engine breathe as well as providing downforce. In back, the standard-issue wing has been replaced with a subtly curved trunklid spoiler. Quad tailpipes also hint at the big power we hope will be packed into the car when it takes production form. (No word at all on when we might expect a production-ready car.)
Clearly, the WRX Concept is styled in anticipation of an all-wheel-drive vehicle, with four blistered wheel arches making that layout obvious. Huge 20-inch BBS wheels (not gold, but we like them) are wearing 245-section Dunlop tires, and look ready to grip and rip. Follow on for the full Subaru Canada press release, once you've finished feasting your eyes on our image galleries.
