This is likely what Subaru BRZ owners’ dreams are made of.

The Japanese automaker dropped one of the biggest teases at the 2015 New York Auto Show with its STI Performance Concept, which is really what a proper BRZ STI should look like. Wearing aggressive styling with a matte blue paint job, the STI Performance Concept boasts a modified 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with around 350 hp, a powerplant derived from the BRZ Super GT race car.

2015 New York Auto Show Coverage

One of the main reasons Subaru is showing off this concept in New York is to demonstrate what’s coming with more STI-modified Subaru models in the future. There’s no official word as to which models will get the treatment, but given this BRZ concept it’s likely the sports car will be one of the first.
