Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd. (FHI), the maker of Subaru automobiles, has just unveiled the all-new WRX STI (US specifications) at the 2014 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) currently being held in Detroit, Michigan. As the top grade model of the WRX series, the new WRX STI embodies at an even higher level the shared product series concept: “Pure Power in Your Control”. Starting with the base WRX model, Subaru has equipped the WRX STI with the powerful, motorsport-proven 2.5-liter Horizontally-Opposed turbo engine, an exclusively-tuned suspension for enhanced rigidity, multi-mode DCCD (Driver’s Control Center Differential) and more. During development, Subaru honed the driveability of the new WRX STI to perfection, testing it under various driving conditions in several countries. As with past generations of the WRX STI, testing included ultra-high speed road testing on Germany's Nürburgring circuit, known for its harsh road conditions. Through this process, Subaru has raised performance for the body, chassis and other vehicle areas to the limit and fused them into one. This has elevated overall vehicle performance, resulting in the pinnacle of Subaru AWD sport performance with predictable high power at the driver's fingertips.

Media days are over at the North American International Auto Show, one of the biggest in the world.

"Showing what Lexus thinks a future premium sport coupe could be, the LF-LC features a re-interpretation of the signature Lexus spindle grille and rear architecture. The concept mixtures some really defined curves with dynamic angles, which generates a display of lines, shadows and corners. The spindle grille has been given a 3D form and framed by a deep aluminum surround. In order to show the fusion of distinctive style and engineering functionality air intakes have been placed in the bottom corners. Another feature of the LF-LC concept is the glass roof which enhances driver visibility while adding to the sleek lines of the car."

The car is sleek, has some nice curves without loosing some sharper angles. Lexus has done a great work there...

Excellent exhibition, almost 3 times bigger than Sillypore auto show. I had to walk 6hours continuously and I didn't get to see all the cars Here are some pics of the fine cars present in NAIAS
