Subaru has released several official teaser images showing the Forester STI tS concept that quietly appeared last month at Suzuka Circuit.
The latest shots fully reveal the sportier front fascia with vertical LED strips and obligatory red STI accents on the grille. Other images confirm brake and wheel upgrades, along with a lowered ride height.

Previous reports suggest the offering may be limited to aesthetic and suspension upgrades, rather than bringing any powertrain tweaks. The BRZ STI tS initially fueled speculation of a turbocharged edition, but hopes of a forced-induction package were doused when the production model arrived with the same powerplant as the basic BRZ.
The standard Forester can be purchased with a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine with 250 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque, while the WRX STI squeezes 305 ponies and 290 lb-ft of twist out of a 2.5-liter mill.
The images appeared on Subaru’s Japanese STI website, suggesting it may not be bound for the US market, however the company has not yet confirmed any launch details or specs.
