Subaru’s concept version of the FT-86 set for Geneva debut

Subaru is set to give its version of the Toyota FT-86 coupe its world premiere in Geneva in March. It’s not officially named yet, so as of now it remains called the Subaru Rear-Wheel Drive Sports Car Technology Concept.

Official details haven’t been announced, but Subaru says the concept will feature the use of a horizontally-opposed boxer engine, and showcase the integration of its boxer engine expertise with rear-wheel drive in a vehicle it says will offer a new and highly enjoyable, Subaru-like driving experience.

Geneva will also see the European debuts of the Subaru Impreza Concept, which was unveiled last November in Los Angeles, as well as the Trezia, which it is hoping will appeal to the increasing demand for smaller and environmentally friendly cars in Europe. The compact smart wagon, as it has been tagged, will be available in 1.3 litre petrol and 1.4 litre turbodiesel forms in European markets.

    The trezia somehow looks like a photoshopped jazz with a subaru face to me. I think Subaru has lost trademark when they decided to change the impreza into a hatch and gone soft. Hope they will make it back with a new hardcore coupe.

        Bro, it already written Subaru Rear-Wheel Drive Sports Car Technology Concept. That why i said i am sad they didnt come out 4wd of FT-86.

        Besides that, now smaller K-cars from Subaru are borrowed from Daihatsu already once Toyota bought their share.. Please read it more carefully!
