Subaru just
"loves" teasing us with spectacular concepts, only to tone things
down by 100 when it's time to put something into production.
Even though they've done it on more than one
occasion, we still can't help but hope that whenever something as aggressive as
this concept comes along, it will somehow make it into showrooms with only a
few changes here and there.
Unveiled at the 2017 Tokyo Motor Show, the VIZIV
Performance Concept is meant to symbolize Subaru's driving prowess as well as
the automaker's Symmetrical AWD and Boxer engine setup. In other word's it's
Subaru's idea of a sporty compact sedan, measuring 4,630 mm in
length, 1,950 mm in width and 1,430 mm in height. Almost
identical to a BMW 3-Series, only wider because of those flared fenders.
Design features include carbon fiber parts in the
bumpers, fenders and roof, a three-dimensional front grille,
"hawkeye" headlights, a massive diffuser with quad-exhausts and the
previously-mentioned fenders which are wider than what you get on a modern-day
rally car.
The VIZIV
Performance Concept is actually inspired by the Legacy, Impreza and the WRX, a
sort of "best of all words" when it comes to putting together a
sporty sedan.
