Subaru Impreza WRX STI Hatch on Artist Renderings

Lars Mårtensson, a.k.a. “GRID,” has designed his own 3D rendering of a Subaru WRX STi Concept. It’s looks a bit like a cross between the legendary Subaru and a Triumph TR7 cram. This realistic computer generated proposal for a more sporty-looking Impreza WRX STI with a wedgy-shaped three-door hatchback body. It’s unfortunate that the freshest look for the WRX has to come from fans, and not the automaker.

Mårtensson fresheded up the whole front-end by generous a steeper curve to the headlights. So steep is this, that the better air intake, headlights, and narrow honeycomb framework thresher to form a nose-and-talk smiley face. We do like the current styling to the junior divide of the super, with a bigger frame and fog light built in. Nevertheless with such a steep tilt from the front end to just in front of the driver’s move, we speculate how comfortable this car would be to appeal. However, the completely redesigned rear-fragment, with core-mount exhaust and contrasting color tones, is a fussy join.
