We've got a theory: Subaru uses two teams developing alternating generation platform designs. The teams compete to out-do each other with progressively uglier vehicles. This independently designed WRX STI proves such mustn't be the case.
Reader Lars, who goes by the handle "GRID," designed this incredibly awesome concept of the STI. It's simultaneously realistic in ways normal automaker concepts hardly ever are, while being effortlessly aggressive. The sight lines might leave something to be desired, but we can practically picture ourselves on a desolate gravel road out in the boonies, bombing through the countryside at unsafe speeds.
