It has been stated by Subaru officials. I'll place it again ...

"Sports cars require high performance in all aspects.
There are a number of ways of increasing performance,
with engine power output probably the most recognizable.
Tyres with a high level of grip are also essential.
These items can all be modified by customers
after they have purchased a car.
Yet designing a low centre of gravity body from scratch
can only be achieved by the car's manufacturer.
And that is what we have done."
