Talking NEW Subaru 086A STi coupe impression and info

posted @ http://www.ft86club.com
The regular Subaru 086A is expected to use Subaru's EJ20 flat 4 boxer engine with D4-S direct/port injection, Aisin 6 speed tranny, and Lexus IS rear differential. Projected power has been anywhere from 160ps to 200ps.

The Subaru 086A STi Version will use the EJ25 2.5L engine which produces 240-250ps. An EJ25 turbo version is also in consideration. Any Subaru 086A STi model will receive wider fenders all around to accomodate beefier tires/wheels.

No timing has been confirmed yet, but the 2011 Tokyo Motor Show or 2012 Tokyo Auto Salon may be good guesses. -- http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=22

It looks slightly better than the Toyota version of the same car. Looks like a fun DD.

I like the way the toyota looks over this one.

Not to say that this is ugly by any means.

I wouldn't mind a little more power, but that picture looks great.

Funny, if Subaru would get off their butts and just make a "WRX that is not ugly" I would've bought one ages ago.

-> Hmm, I think the Subie dudes are catching on...



^ But I'm not getting any hopes up...

Toyota's version: FT86 Concept ---> Celica (???)

Subaru's version: 086A Prototype ---> SVX (???)

...yet.
