It has been revealed that the Subaru WRX Concept will make its debut at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show in September. The all-new performance concept car which was unveiled in prototype form at the New York Auto Show earlier this year, serves as a preview for the next-generation WRX. It will be joined on the Subaru stand by the VIZIV Concept, the companys future design direction and vision for technological innovation.
Flashy design for new Subaru WRX Concept
While Subarus have always been quite a unique and special drive, the looks have been a bit too unique for some. However, if the production version looks half as good as the Subaru WRX concept, we expect the legion of fans of the brand to grow quite substantially.
Looking radically different from previous models, the Subaru WRX concept has a prominent front grille, a more lightweight carbon fibre roof, a broad rear bumper, hawk-eye headlights while at the same time being wider, sleeker and lower than the current sedan.
No other details have been revealed about the Subaru WRX Concept. However, Subaru maintains the vehicle features trademark design cues including a pronounced bulge on the bonnet, accompanied by the classic WRX bonnet scoop which provides clearance for a turbocharged engine and intercooler, while also aiding engine cooling.
Well it will certainly be a boxer, perhaps a 2.0litre turbocharged in keeping with the current line-up. The most modern engine from the brand currently runs in the BRZ/Toyota GT86, so that would be a good candidate for some forced induction. But perhaps Subaru have something else up the sleeves of those white coats?
