Subaru to display Forester STI and Impreza STI concept at 2019 TAS
KUALA LUMPUR: Subaru has announced to showcase two STI concept models - Forester STI and the Impreza STI concept - at the 2019 TAS (Tokyo Auto Salon).
The all-new Subaru Forester STI concept will feature a more powerful hybrid system than the current eBoxer. The current one contains an electric motor and a four-cylinder engine. The electric motor produces up to 12 hp of power and a peak torque of 48 Nm, while the combined output for the hybrid system is 155 hp and 87 Nm.
The concept model of Subaru Forester STI is likely to get a Fighter Gray paint job all over the body. The car will roll on 19-inch aluminium wheels and the braking responsibilities will be taken care by Brembo’s high-performance braking system having six-piston callipers on the front axle.
The manufacturer has given the high-performance wagon concept a makeover to stand out from the brand’s regular models. At the front, the grille gets a new design along with a honeycomb mesh insert. Moreover, the vehicle gets an aggressively styled front bumper and drive planes. The side skirts are now extended and the rear bumper is redesigned.
The other concept car, the Forester Impreza will come with an aerodynamic body kit, which contains extended side skirts and a front splitter. The grille is now revised and other features include a redesigned rear bumper with centre-mounted dual exhaust outlets, lightweight alloy wheels, and a contrasting black roof.
Subaru will also showcase a couple of other cars at the upcoming 2018 Tokyo Auto Salon, including the likes of WRX STI and Levorg. Not much information has been provided by the manufacturer of these two models though. As per an earlier statement by the company, the WRX STI will get Recaro seats and ride on gold-finished 19-inch BBS wheels.
