Earlier this week, we got all hot and bothered over a set of spy photos showing the next-generation Subaru WRX STI testing at the Nürburgring. And while pretty still shots of a camouflaged car are always nice to look at, stirring up lots of speculation, having video is even better. Good thing, then, that our trusty spies were on hand to get some rolling footage of that STI as it lapped the infamous German track.

Now, as a good majority of the comments on our previous post will point out, it looks like Subaru has dumbed down the design of that decidedly hot WRX Concept from New York for the road-going car. Of course, we need to wait until all that swirly paper is pulled off the body, but from what we can see here, it looks like this new 'Rex will be more akin to the current Impreza than we were originally led to believe.

So while we wait and hope that what's under the camouflage will be something sexy, have a look at the video below to watch the WRX STI prototype get worked out on the 'Ring.

The effort (or lack of) they have put into the components is the most worrying. The rest of the components look like this other test mule, which is clearly just a 2013 Impreza with a turbo motor in it.

Hmm true, but when the camo is lifted, on everything... It'll all become more clear, not keeping in the highest of hopes, apparently like other people.

I reckon. That concept looked amazing. I really liked it.

Wanting to buy/looking for: single genuine STi rim, genuine STi front lip, Corazon or Zero/Sports grille and another OEM grille

Can you hook a brother up? Please contact me now. I have cash ready.

At least it looks like it started from a sedan platform.

I like to think of it as borrowing someone's car and driving it better than them.

+1

I seen a side shot of this the other day and it made a very convincing evo. :scratch_one-s_head:

On the plus side though it does look better than the old one

It does look better than the old one, i agree with that just the same as it looking like an evo. But looks aside, what about the guts? Doesn't sound too promising on that side?
