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.

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.
