From Holiday Auto via 7tune: http://www.7tune.com/subaru-086a-sti/
Attachment 111 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. Holiday Auto (via 7tune) now reports that 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. |
Damn that's a nice looking photochop. Love the extra body work and of course the EJ25 engine news :) I assume toyota would also have an EJ25 version (maybe TRD version)?
|
Toyota better not let Subie bring out the only good version of this car :mad:
Of course... if that does happen, everyone who buys the Toyota variant will be doing a motor swap within a year... :rolleyes: |
I hope the toyo version will have a LSD. But doesn't the IS have an open diff?
|
I don't think there will be one with Toyota emblems and then one with Subaru emblems..
|
its really going to come down to the length for me..I need a snowboard to fit..:)

I was already excited about a small, lightweight successor to the hatchiroku. This makes me even more excited. This is will be the most excited I've been about an upcoming car for as long as I can remember!

No mention of drivetrain with that STI story, eh? I wonder if this means it will still be RWD or AWD? I actually hope it remains RWD, if only because I want this car to remain true to its AE86 heritage, and not be bogged down by further weight...

Good point about the extra weight for AWD. How much more would it weigh? |
Quote:
100 lbs isn't that big a deal (especially with an extra 50 hp under the hood), but it's not too hard to go from a "lightweight" corner carver to a more bloated vehicle. Then again, STIs weight between over 3200 lbs and no one seems to complain about those things, so even if this car weighs in at 3000 lbs, if it has 250 hp, (poss even more with boost) then it'll still be killer. |

There is really no purpose to an AWD car unless you are rallying... FR works just fine for road or track.
|
If suby is coming out with an sti version with awd it's going to cost around 40k. The current sti is already at 35 and also coupes are generally pricer than their four door counterparts.
