We know that Subaru won't make a WRX STi, but these latest spy photos suggest it still might be working on a new performance version of the car car auto cars
have sent us a fresh batch of photos showing a WRX with American plates, testing with some choice upgrades that suggest it could be a special performance-oriented trim., albeit with the front and rear badges covered in tape. However, upon closer inspection, our spies noticed that even the car’s big red brake calipers are partially covered in tape.
Despite the lack of any other camouflage on the prototype, the taped-over red calipers, paired with the distinctive wheels and slotted discs, strongly suggest that this model will be performance-oriented. Notably, has placed the “STi” name on calipers before, adding further fuel to speculation that this WRX may have some serious upgrades.Before we get too excited , we should remind you that Subaru explicitly stated that the second-generation of the car will not get the high-power STi treatment.
“If we designed [a new STI] now, it would have a very limited shelf life,” Subaru director of corporate communications Dominick Infante said at the time. “The regulations are changing so quickly that it kind of wouldn’t make any sense.”And while that kills any dreams of a higher-power WRX from Subaru, it doesn’t necessarily mean that a special performance version can never be.
Whatever is going on under the tape, we’ll be excited to find out what Subaru is cooking up. Unfortunately, we still have no idea when the automaker plans to reveal it.
