All subie has to do is figure out a way to get their AWD system in the FT-86 shell which shouldn't be hard since they are the one's building the platform to begin with. I could be completely wrong though.

The problem lies with placing the engine directly over the front axle, something that is necessary for all Subaru AWD engines, and ther current design of the FT doesn't look like that's the case, especially if they're trying to make this a well balanced, agile, machine.
