When Subaru revealed its new shape 2012 Impreza earlier this year it was in stock ‘old lady’ trim, but WRX fans immediately begun imagining it with the full kit and big gold rims. But this time around it won’t be that simple as, according to reports, the next WRX will be built as an entirely separate model line.
Due for release in 2014 the new WRX may become a sports coupe with an entirely different design to the new Impreza. The two models will continue to share a platform but the upcoming WRX will have a shortened wheelbase for improved handling dynamics.
A Subaru source said recently, “The first thing you must understand about our all-new WRX is that we have developed it from the ground up to win in motorsports events. That’s why we have focused so heavily on weight issues, not to mention a shorter wheelbase that permits faster, more precise turn-in. Marry that to our proven AWD system, and we think we have a winner.”
