Subaru's BRZ STI Sport Concept is not quite what we've been waiting for
It's an STI Sport, not a full-blown STI. Sorry, guys.
Essentially, the BRZ STI Sport Concept sounds like a lukewarm example of
the lovable rear-driver, taking parts of the tS driving experience and
marrying it with some interior and exterior enhancements. We can see
those latter elements in the sole image the company released – the
silver concept car gets a fresh body kit
that's less aggressive than 2015's Performance Concept. The sole
exterior image shows a subtle chin spoiler and a more prominent upgrade
to the side sill. Smaller changes include STI badges in the lower grille
and side grilles. In the cabin, Subaru apparently added dark red
upholstery. All of this gels with the aesthetic the Levorg pioneered.
On the performance front, we see what look like Brembo-branded red brake
calipers, but that's about as certain as we can get with mechanical
upgrades. What we can't see are likely modest performance tweaks,
focusing on the suspension. The Levorg STI Sport, for example, got
adjustable Bilstein dampers, firmer springs, and a tweaked power
steering system.
