Subaru Coupe (version of FR-S/FT-86) Spotted Inside and Out! + New Interior Pic - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Hachiroku · 05-26-2011, 05:54 PM

Here's are the best photos yet of the Subaru Coupe version of the FR-S / FT-86 and the first interior photo! It appears very similar to the Scion/Toyota model but apparently with a different front-end design (as it's almost nearly covered for a reason).

The interior is also partially covered but it's clear that there's red stitching on the steering wheel and paddle shifters.

A great sign is that it's following the STI for testing / evaluation purposes

The Subaru coupe is expected to be RWD with 2+2 seating.

Updated with better look at interior:

hmmm no STI looking wing thats good, I wonder what front end look they are going for.

RRnold · 05-26-2011, 06:12 PM

Sweet, thanks for posting Hachi! :happy0180:

So the black wheel version is the Subie and the one with the body kit is the Toyota version? Now we have both varients testing... very interesting!

Also I totally was right on the door handle! Before the spy pics of these test cars I made a door handle just like that (just different position).

Toyota/Subaru, you own me more info

Following an STI? Hmmm could it mean that we're getting an STI version of the FT86? YES!

Traum · 05-26-2011, 06:15 PM

I like that fat, chunky steering wheel!

xantonin · 05-26-2011, 06:16 PM

Am I missing something?

What confirmation is there to this that it is the Subaru version?

Neutral_Eyes · 05-26-2011, 06:16 PM

No flat bottom steering wheel? Flappy paddles? Bah.

I dig their antenna topper though.

It's following an STI? Would Toyota make it follow that?

OldSkoolToys · 05-26-2011, 06:19 PM

So from these pictures we can assume the Subaru version will be automatic and the FR-S will be manual?

Sorry, I had to.
