Meet the next Subaru WRX. And after the Mitsubishi Evo has morphed into an SUV, so the no-longer-an-Impreza appears to have downed the protein shakes and bulked up a bit.While not on the scale of transformation its rival has gone through, this Viziv Performance Concept certainly has a look of crossover about its proportions. Its David Blaine-like levitation above Subaru"s Tokyo Motor Show stand probably doesn"t help, mind.It"s longer and wider than the current WRX STI saloon, but sticks to its traditional boxer petrol engine/all-wheel drive setup. No sops to electrification at Subaru just yet.While Subaru hasn"t gone into firm details it would appear this is just a design study we"re told it embraces "widespread future deployment of automated driving technologies", utilising a next-gen version of Subaru"s EyeSight" driver assist systems. Perhaps, like that new Evo, it wants to help you drive fast.
