Remember those leaked Subaru WRX images that were revealed back in November? Well, how can you forget - it was perceived among the automotive industry that Subaru were taming their ferocious flagship model to appeal to more of a mass market, to huge universal disappointment.
14/01/2014 Update: It's been announced that we'll actually be getting the STi on our shores in the UK. And at £28,995 it sounds like an absolute bargain. We can't wait to see these on our roads!
After being disappointed ourselves, we set out to create what we hoped the next STi variant would look like with the help of a little Photoshop magic.
Well, would you believe it - it appears Subaru have taken heed, and are in fact releasing an STi edition for the 2015 model year.
And it looks like we nailed the design pretty spot-on! Returning to the STi are the classic WRC Blue paintwork, gold wheels and a huge rear wing.

That rear wing!
Not only is the styling back on track, but it's claimed that the STi will feature a 2.5 litre, 300BHP+ powerplant. Nice!
All will be revealed at the Detroit Auto Show on January 14th. Full specs below:
- Length / width / height: 4,595 x 1,795 x 1,475 mm*3
