Motor magazine in Australia just did a little article on the subie version they called it the Subaru FT-86 and said more of the same stuff modded lagacy platform only slight change cosmetically, rwd. But they said he engine will not be the same one as in the Toyota version instead o he Toyota modded head jib the subie will get a slightly modded version of the current 2.0-litre subie turbo boxer engine developing 185kw(don't know the exac conversion to hp but I think it's somewhere around the 250 mark) they also wrote that info from an insider says that both versions are currently being tested at the nurburgring by subie test drivers an that the subie version is due to debut at next years Tokyo motor show. Oh and the pic is a chop that we've seen already, the one with the front made to look Subaru with the lights the scoop and the air intakes on the side in WRX blue with gold wheels.
Is it just me or does the development of these cars really sound onesided like Toyota has just gone and said "right now that we own you, you'll do all the leg work on this new car we've been wanting to make and we'll tweek it right at the end and give it a Toyota feel"??
