Subaru Coupe (version of FR-S/FT-86) Spotted Inside and Out! + New Interior Pic
 

Here's are the best photos yet of the Subaru Coupe version of the FR-S / FT-86 and the first interior photo! It appears very similar to the Scion/Toyota model but apparently with a different front-end design (as it's almost nearly covered for a reason).

The interior is also partially covered but it's clear that there's red stitching on the steering wheel and paddle shifters.

A great sign is that it's following the STI for testing / evaluation purposes :D

The Subaru coupe is expected to be RWD with 2+2 seating.


Updated with better look at interior:

OH YEAH, it's following the STI. Nice find hachi!

hmmm no STI looking wing thats good, I wonder what front end look they are going for.

Sweet, thanks for posting Hachi! :happy0180:

So the black wheel version is the Subie and the one with the body kit is the Toyota version? Now we have both varients testing... very interesting! :burnrubber:

Also I totally was right on the door handle! Before the spy pics of these test cars I made a door handle just like that (just different position).

Toyota/Subaru, you own me more info :bellyroll:

Following an STI? Hmmm could it mean that we're getting an STI version of the FT86? YES!

I like that fat, chunky steering wheel!

Am I missing something?

What confirmation is there to this that it is the Subaru version?

No flat bottom steering wheel? Flappy paddles? Bah.

I dig their antenna topper though.

Prob missing 86 emblem

It's following an STI? Would Toyota make it follow that?

So from these pictures we can assume the Subaru version will be automatic and the FR-S will be manual?:bellyroll::bellyroll:

Sorry, I had to.

Oh no! Someone punched the 86 in the nose! the monster must be caught!

Hopefully they'll end up with something more sleek and less bulky. Those mirrors and door handles on the prototype are just too gargantuas! :thumbdown:

Based on your analogy...

So that must mean since the Toyota version was following the Supra then the FT86 will get a _ _ _ _ _ version ;) :bellyroll:

Yes~~~ That STI is fastest lapping time at Nur out of all stock Impreza. Why not.

Again, Toyota/Subaru have teased us this long, why not :bellyroll:

Nice find!!

I'd venture to say that IS the STi wheel...they just covered the center to really not bring anymore unwanted speculation on this car.

Or maybe it's covering up it's STI, naughty prototype.

or they went rallying around the gravel and broke the front bumper. :bellyroll:

So the exhaust is different... I wonder if it sounds different.

I love the shape of the double bubble IP. It looks elegant yet minimal, which is perfect. The steering wheel looks great too; dimpled leather and red stitching is always sporting.

I'd say after seeing that rough interior shot that my interest has increased even more. :)

Head and tail lights look pretty cool, shame about the unnecessary dual exhaust.
Looking at those side mirrors I agree, they look big on that small car.

And Id guess its a subaru because it has subies 'go fast' tennis ball on the antenna.

There is definitely something going on behind those trashbags...like something is trying to escape. :bellyroll:

The taillights are different from the other one...they actually look better :O But I still prefer the old long & skinny ones on the concepts.

I said the Subaru variant was in CA, I got good information, someone kept telling me not uh it's toyota dist plates. :bellyroll:

tail lights be the same brah

cant wait for more info

^ Do I see mud flaps on the rear tires? I didn't notice that on the other prototypes.

the get more G's ball was kinda of a dead give away or im i the only one who cought that

no, prob that's the part to screw in the side skirts

& no, you're not the only one. I think few other ppl did

Anyone notice the Subaru Get More Gs tennis ball on the suby antenna? :)

http://www.subaru.com/getmoregs/index.html

The Suby G ball is a hilarious and subtle clue about this being a Suby. Love it.

Was hoping the HVAC vents would be thin and sleek like the concept, and I really like what I'm seeing so far. Fat, stubby steering wheel is great too--I like how it doesn't have 500 different buttons and knobs on it, too.

we must be getting close to an official annoucement for the production versions now

:laughabove:

what he said mon!

It was there on the other ones too

Very righteous of them. :bellyroll:


***edit***

oh crap... didn't bother to read through.... fail

I noticed that yellow ball too, but I couldn't recall what it was from.

Oh~ my work pc is slowing down... that means, there's a lot of guest checking this site. Curse you guess. Become member instead of lurking around! LOL

Do you mean the aero flippers in front of the rear tires? They're there to reduce aero drag on the rear tires. It appears they're more prominent on the G-ball tester because there's no massive glued-on body kit to distract you from it. ;)
