The Performance-B STI concept is based on the current-generation Impreza, while the Performance-E STI is an EV that “represents the future of the Performance Scene”, according to the Japanese company.

Although the latter showcases its exterior design in its entirety, there’s not a lot of technical detail about what's underneath the bodywork.

Subaru says the concept has “outstanding aerodynamics and practicality, with a design that evokes the brand's heritage while providing a driver-friendly layout and a comfortable, spacious interior.”

It added: “By incorporating various innovative technologies, this concept model offers intuitive, exhilarating driving experiences.”
