086A Subaru STi

Now that the fuel efficient Japanese automaker Toyota has officially announced that the FT-86 Concept will bring the highly anticipated AE-86 successor to life. We know that Subaru must have some iteration of the new two door sports coupe awaiting in the in the wings and the rumors are saying that their in house tuner Subaru Technica International is working on something special for 2011.

While the Toyota is powered by a gas sipping 2.0 Liter flat four that makes 150 HP, the STI version will be powered by Subaru’s 2.5 Liter EJ25 turbocharged
boxer engine that will be tuned to around 250 HP. It is also expected that the new car’s design will be heavily inspired by the current Impreza WRX STI with wider front and rear fenders to house wider rubber and an increased track along with an STI tuned suspension as well as a unique front bumper and a bespoke rear wing.

As a short reminder, the Flash Red FT-86 Concept is inspired by the Toyota Corolla based AE-86 sports coupe from the 1980s. The car’s rear wheel drive layout, lightweight construction and economy car status made it the vehicle of choice for both grip and drift drivers alike and is one of the few cars today that is worth more currently than it did when it rolled out of the showroom.

that looks shweet

I'm sure it wont look anything like that, lol....its just the concept drawing. Apparently subaru will be releasing the proto (like toyota just did with the Ft-86) in a couple of months. It will interesting to see a subaru back to a coupe/2doors

lol whaTS with everyone bitin the GTR. LAME

who else is trying to dub the GTR?? toyota and Subaru made their cars together....its a given there going to look quite identical minus the emblems. And its a coupe, a lot of coupes looks alike....

the only comparison is the roof line and back window

yeah x2... nothing alike...

The GT-R is a huge all-wheel drive sports car. This is an affordable small/lightweight rear-wheel drive coupe. No biting whatsoever.

And that image is only a sketch someone did up, will probably look nothing like that.

it will kinda looks smilar to this...



just with different rims, engine, grill and prob rear end and of course emblems, lol but subaru and toyota are using the same set up/frame

I'm in agreement, I see similarities.

there are similarities in every car...all im saying is that toyota/subaru didn't steal or rip off the gtr design.
