Subaru STI Wastes No Time in Tuning the VIZIV Performance Concept (w/ 15 Photos)

Subaru wasted no time giving the world a sneak peek of how the future STI could look like. After showing the VIZIV Performance Concept (a potentially future WRX) at the 45th Tokyo Motor Show 2017, STI immediately got to work and in just 4 months shows the VIZIV Performance STI Concept at the Tokyo Auto Salon 2018.

Here's a Subaru BRZ Decked Out in New STI Performance Parts

Those wanting a more powerful version of the two-door Subaru BRZ will have to wait longer. Subaru just announced their line-up at the Tokyo Auto Salon 2017 and while the show itself is worth a visit (check our 2016 experience here and here), there’s still no turbocharged BRZ in sight.

57 Cars That Prove the 2016 Tokyo Auto Salon was Awesome

The annual Tokyo Auto Salon just ended and the organizers have every reason to be happy. The show, which ran from January 15 to 17 saw a record 105.1 percent increase year-on-year. In total, 325,501 souls walked through Makuhari Messe to see the newest and best stuff the Japanese aftermarket had to offer.

Subaru and its tuning division, STI shows that it’s “proud of boxer” with a slew of racing and racing-inspired machines at the 2016 Tokyo Auto Salon. STI also used this opportunity to outline their motorsports activities for the year.

“Be a driver” is a slogan adopted by Mazda to showcase the fun-to-drive attitude of its entire line-up. And it showed what could be done to give their line-up that extra edge at the 2016 Tokyo Auto Salon. Although most were left wanting a proper Mazdaspeed version of their cars (this is well and covered by the other exhibitors), Mazda did give racing concept versions of the MX-5 (Roadster in Japan), Mazda6, CX-3, and the Mazda2 (Demio in Japan).

Toyota GAZOO Racing showed off its past, present, and future at the Tokyo Auto Salon by unveiling three new racing car entries for the 24 Hours of Nürburgring this coming May 26 to 29. The three vehicles, the Toyota C-HR Racing (based on the concept but not the eventual production model), Lexus RC, and Lexus RC F took the center stage all dressed in drool worthy racing gear.

Tokyo Auto Salon 2016: MUGEN Brings Out A More Extreme Honda Civic Type-R

Honda’s Civic Type-R isn’t for the faint of heart already thanks to its 300-horsepower, front-wheel drive configuration. However, for Japanese tuner MUGEN, it doesn’t seem crazy enough. At the Tokyo Auto Salon, they showed off a more extreme version of the Civic Type-R with the menacing Civic Type-R MUGEN.
