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.

However, the completely redesigned rear-fragment, with core-mount exhaust and contrasting color tones, is a fussy join.
