It looks lightweight and very nimble to me. Don't watch this video for styling or aesthetic evaluation but just watch it for its performance and you'll be happy.

I'm just glad Toyota released photos of the prototype BEFORE the leak of this thing came out... or I don't think any of us would have been nearly as excited at the prospect of this car, had we thought it would turn out like this (shudder)

One really good sign is that there doesn't appear to be much, if any, understeer.
In one of the clips it looks like he's fighting a bit of oversteer at the exit of the turn. They're definitely pushing it, and it looked like it was handling everything just fine, even cresting the banked turn didn't mess it up. Subaru knows how to do long-travel suspensions with all their work on WRC, looks like it will pay off here. |

Sounds like she's running equal length headers.

So this is a Subaru test car for testing purposes for the FT86 car? or is Subaru going to release their own version based on the same setup?
