And another rendering... April 5th, 2011

And probably my favorite yet. I dig the subtleness as opposed to the Toyota's crazy facias, and sharp pointy lines.

good find but it looks too much like the first concept.

you say that like it could in any way be a bad thing :bonk: closer to the first concept is best case scenario.

Why are these clowns still claiming it will be awd?

Zorro 04-06-2011 10:46 AM

Where? I see RWD.

wow. they must not have been paying attention AT ALL lately. they made a rendering and decided to write an article based on old rumors and speculation. faaaaiiiiilllllll.

aliphian 04-06-2011 03:07 PM

I really like it!

Franisco 04-06-2011 03:55 PM

Subaru making the first concept would be interesting..but is never going to happen

That's really strange because if you watch the video on the same site, dated march 2nd, about the FT-86II and the subaru concept from Geneva it says the complete opposite. They talk about how both cars will be RWD and that due to the engine placement/drivetrain/and suspension setup AWD would be impossible without a complete redesign. This article about the Subaru version is from April 5th and somehow slipped out with the faulty info on the AWD.

They also throw out the random 180hp and 2800lbs guess. Look for that to be repeated numerous times in the next few months.

RRnold 04-06-2011 09:38 PM

I like this version better since it some of the MKI lines. They need to get with the program as far as it being AWD too! :bellyroll:

Jordo! 04-07-2011 03:25 AM

I like it.

Needs a "park bench" spoiler.

Zaku 04-07-2011 10:30 AM

looks to proper and clean to be a Subie. Subaru need to look harsh and unsettled O_o unless they want to change their styling to reflect more their toyota counterpart. And even thought they said no AWD already I wouldn't mind a AWD version by Subaru.

The latest impreza hardly looks the part.

Also, the hood scoop would only be there for a TMIC. Guess the writers are really pulling for a FI model.

What happened to this? I thought it was way better

They haven't even revealed A car yet, let alone trim models.

Hmm? I thought they reveled it at the NY show, a Impreza? I swear I saw it at the show. did I see something else?

http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/...or-blog480.jpg

ichitaka05 04-30-2011 07:47 PM

My estimation
WRX/GT 3~4 months after base model
STI 6~8 months after base model

Thanks This gives alot of good information.... Do you think it's a good idea that they are sepperating the WRX from the Impreza? what does everyone think? Where would our Subaru 86 sit in their line up?

This is interesting, we've been speculating a bit on this already:

Quote:

Speaking to CarAdvice in New York, Subaru’s Impreza Product General Manager, Mr Akihide Takeuchi, said work on the replacement turbocharged engine has commenced but would not give any further details. He did confirm that it will not be based on the EJ25 and will not simply be a turbocharged version of the new boxer engine.

No clue what that is, but its not the 216a...hell, it has 4 doors.

Subaru's version of the FT-86 hasn't been physically revealed anywhere yet.

TRDMAN 05-01-2011 04:49 PM

Sorry I don't understand Japanese, but I assume all three were stock cars or were all three modified cars? Thanks.

TRDMAN 05-04-2011 01:25 AM

I wish I was 20 pounds heavier lol

ryun84 05-04-2011 01:52 AM

Eat, sleep, and when you're awake just sit in a chair all day. You'll get there in no time.

Or you can go the hard route and gain MUSCLE... But who would want to do THAT?!

serialk11r 05-04-2011 01:55 AM

Man woops I do that...not fat yet though somehow.

TRDMAN 05-04-2011 03:51 AM

HA im gainin muscle sloooowly

R34 was stock & AE86 was tuned but not fully racing tune or anything just street tune. Main thing they were figuring out is can AE86 beat Skyline. Tsuchiya bring his personal AE86 (165ps), while Orido had 200ps, but in the end 165ps Tsuchiya AE86 won (of course Orido gave Tsuchiya a line in one corner).

Thanks. Isn't Keiichi Tsuchiya the better driver compared to Manabu Orido or would you say they are well suited against each other? I really don't know, so I am asking.

IDK, Orido is kinda student of Tsuchiya. There isn't a right answer to this. IMO, Tsuchiya was faster than Orido. Now, Tsuchiya retired from racing world, slowly he's loosing the skills. While Orido still is in racing world, he still maintaining the skills. I'll say currently, they're even. BUT I gotta say Tsuchiya have better braking skill than Orido. Orido have better steering wheel/handling skill than Tsuchiya. I think, that came from where they start racing. Both started out w AE86, but Tsuchiya went from grass race, N2 and so on. While Orido started out from gymkhana and move into grass race, ikaten, and so on.
