Deep down inside you knew it was only a matter of playing the waiting game before someone took the purportedly, but not yet confirmed, official photos of the 2015 Subaru WRX and applied some Photoshop magic to turn them into the new STI.

The rendering job from the folks over at Autofans includes the STI sub-brand’s traditional blue color for the body and gold rims, together with a more prominent hood scoop, a weight-saving carbon fiber roof and naturally, a massive rear wing.

As of now, Subaru has only confirmed the world premiere of the lesser WRX at next week’s LA Auto Show, and has made no mention of the 2015 WRX STI, which may be presented at another event.

Thanks to Sven from Autofans for the photos!
