Subaru revealed a Viziv Performance Concept at the Tokyo Motor Show and has doubled down as it recently teased the Viziv Performance STI Concept at the Tokyo Auto Salon. Speculated as a preview of what’s in store for the next WRX STI, the flashy vehicle sports a pink STI badge in the grill with more pink in the front spoiler, front lip spoiler, air inlets, its gigantic rear wing, and side skirts.

Rumors have it that the vehicle will have a flat-4 engine and all-wheel drive given the brand’s track record and that it will feature driver assistance support. Although not much else is known about the concept, it’s speculated it will spawn a production model. In other Subaru news, every vehicle in the Subaru line is slated to receive a limited-edition 50th-anniversary model.

Following its introduction of the GR HV Sports Concept a few months back, Toyota has revealed its GR Super Sport Concept, which borrows many of its influences from race cars. The carbon fiber chassis and powertrain of the vehicle shares some main components of the company’s WEC TS050 race car and is equipped with 13-inch-wide slick tires.

Tall wide fenders, along with a huge rear wing and narrow cabin, complete its race car aesthetic. It also sports a twin-turbocharged hybrid V6 with 986 horsepower. Gazoo Racing’s president, Shigeki Tomoyama states: “although it will be some time before you all have the opportunity to get behind the wheel, I hope that the GR Super Sport Concept will give you a taste of what we aim to achieve with our next-generation sports cars.”
