Subaru LIBIRD Supercar Concept & BRZ (April Fools)
 
Subaru has been keeping secret this concept RWD big brother to the BRZ called the Libird. When the syllables down are broken down (Li = Rai = Thunder), this translates to "thunderbird". Below are specs and photos of it alternating with the BRZ at what looks like Subaru HQ.

Better be fast as hell, cause it's ugly as hell...

315 HP?

Subaru builds one measly FR sports car and thinks they can build this outlandish thing? lol



It looks like it ought to be mid-engine?

powerofze 04-15-2013 10:34 AM

what in the world is that thing

#87 04-15-2013 10:38 AM

Looks like that and will get beat from the lights by an Escalade with chrome 24s lol

I don't get it, why would they make this with the same power as a BRZ with a SC and tune. I mean unless it only costs less than 10k more...

Ugly, looks like something out of an anime. Also doesn't have nearly the hp/weight ratio to be considered a supercar.

I can see why they'd keep this s secret...it's hideous.

Then again they slapped a twin sctroll on an FA20, which might be a sign of things to come.

Some sort of late April Fool's prank? Libird = LIE-bird = LIE?

Ummmm, @switchlanez. You're a lil bit late brother. This was SoJ's version of an April Fools Day Joke.
