After seeing the leaked images revealing the 2014 Subaru WRX we thought we’d place them alongside the stunning WRX Concept we saw earlier this year.
We’ll let the pictures do the talking.

New York 2013: Subaru WRX Concept
So the leaked images were bang on the money; this is the new Subaru WRX Concept, we shall call it the Sexy Rexy—there’s never really been one of those before. It was revealed a few days ago at the New York International Auto Show.
We’re grateful to Subaru for providing some nice hi res pics, but in true concept form there’s next to no detail on what lies beneath the skin of the Sexy Rexy. Certainly, we know nothing of the engine or its specs.
We can tell you that the colour is called ‘WR Blue Pearl III’ and that the 20″ one-piece forged duralmin wheels are made by BBS. The model name of the wheels is RI-D if you’re really keen and they’re wrapped in specially produced 245/40R20 Dunlop rubber.
But that’s it. No more firm details, aside from a few basic dimensions (length 4520mm x width 1890mm x height 1390mm; wheelbase 2760mm). In fact, Subaru, at this point in time, hasn’t even committed to a production schedule for its newest WRX.
Let’s hope they don’t take too long and, more importantly, that the Sexy Rexy loses little in translation to production model.
In recent years Subaru’s design team has lost its way. They’ve been responsible for some of the most awkward looking cars for some time. Things might be on the up, though, if these images of an Impreza WRX concept are to be believed. It looks bloody good!
The images have been leaked, of course, ahead of an expected unveiling at the New York Auto Show. Power is expected to be in the range of 275–300hp (205–223kW). When we know more we’ll be sure to let you know.
In the meantime there’s another seven images after the break including some close-up details. The overall coupé-like side profile gives the car an excellent base which Subaru’s designers have complemented well with a pleasing mix of aggressive styling; just look at those flared guards!
We can’t wait to find out more.
