AH ITS HIDEOUS.

[DiiCii]

fixed:lol

[sonick]

Most of those body panels are probably scraps from other cars in order to disguise the test mule. It will not be this ugly.

[DiiCii]

yeah probably, but the shape of the car's side profile looks awkward:lol i like the front though =P

[J-Chow]

black to the future

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

..............................



cant get any fuglier than that

[donjalapeno]

the front looks like a regular STI and the back looks like a SUV......

[Roach]

It reminds me in some ways of the Subaru SVX. Even the strange window arrangements

[DiiCii]

^ i agree on the windows part

[Roach]

^ Yeah the design is definitely not the same as the SVX. But it seems like they are going in the same "quirky" direction as the SVX.

[umpadupa]

i just wanna c the final car ready for production so i can make up my decission of subaru FT-86 or the Toyota FT-86 or the mustang GT LOL

[tofu1413]

the actual car would not look like that..

just using random body parts to develop the chassis itself...

[ruthless]

i hope your right

[CorneringArtist]

Rear looks a lot like a VW Corrado...but it's probably slapped together from other cars as a mule.

I can't stand the gap between the hood and the bumper!! I'm SO not buying this car when it comes out!

[chris walter]

^ that gap is probably tape in that picture.

[jungle168]

Can't wait to see the final version! :D

[vexor]

From the side profile it almost looks like it could be a 2 and half door style like the rx-8, the rear panels just look too long in my opinion

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

no i refuse to see the final version


its as much fail as the new mazda 3

[DiiCii]

function>form? =P

Whoa the rear lights look like a certain older isuzu sedan

that thing looks sick, i cant wait.
:inoutugh:

[Ferra]

how come it looks like they are using duct tape to hold the car's panel together??? too much mythbuster?

[Qmx323]

Yeah its a test mule so "ugly" is a given, pretty sure when prod model comes out everyones gonna be all over it

[TomBox_N]

C'mon, u guys know better than to comment on a test mule that is heavily disguised. The whole point is to throw ppl off so u can be assured the end product will be totally different.

[Wykydtron]

Looking past the hackness of it, I like the overall basic shape. Can't wait to see the real thing.

[twitchyzero]

calm down people
it's a test mule

[Groot]

you know what? the side and back looks like the old VW corrado LOL

what about the blocked intercooler!?

[GDChoi]

Imagine the stance it could pull off tho!
looks very slamable

[optiblue]

what car is that?

[DiiCii]

^ ft-86 STI:lol

[thumper]

why is it that we do not see running prototypes of the ft-86? maybe i missed them but all the ft-86's that i've seen are static displays at auto shows, none of which have ever had an open hood to show this new DI boxer engine... have they left it to subaru to do all the drivetrain development work using these fugly test mules?

[!Shuya80]

^^ best looking sti imo

[saveth]

if this is the subaru version....i guess the toyota version will look better because i dont see it getting any worse. I really hope its a real coupe unlike the rx8.

[DiiCii]

^ there's 2 versions? i thought they both(subaru & toyota) collaborated to create this? :S
also, my guess on the "vw corrado" body style is probably related to the ae86. cause i've read from a while ago and forgot where, that toyota's making a "new ae86" with the help of subaru =P i could be wrong though, probably am:lol

i'd actually be HAPPIER if they did a production re run of those limited 22B impreza STi's...

screw the so called new (crappier) designs.


i mean back in the 90's Nissan USA did an in house re runs of datsun 240Z's... using new old stock parts to make quite a few 240Z's and sell them for 20k+ a pop..

[Grim]

are u fucking kidding me???? this is the ft86.... wtf...!?

[Lomac]

The car is you see here is heavily disguised, if not simply slapped together with body work out of the parts bin. I'll guarantee the car will look a lot different once it's officially revealed.

[skyxx]

I love how everyone is so gullible.

[tofu1413]

i remember when SLS was being developed..

first pic, all it was, was a chassis, and a box'ed body.

[GDChoi]

http://blog.roosrule.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/subaru-coupe-216a-02.jpg

the front kinda reminds me of the ms3 front

[cctw]

^hmmm...toyota's version looks better...the subaru's version reminds me of a pig in the front...and i dont like how the back resembles the impreza sedan in terms of tail light design.

[felixy69]

rx8 style rear door ??

[BEEB]

Once these cars are out, it's gonna start kicking some ass !
Image under a RWD set up and 3000 lb chassis with a STi engine which is capable of 300 hp stock. I can see a 500+ hp FT86 in the near future !

[GDChoi]

^hmmm...toyota's version looks better...the subaru's version reminds me of a pig in the front...and i dont like how the back resembles the impreza sedan in terms of tail light design.

i totally agree with the toyota front look better than the subbie, but i kinda like the subbie's back kinda looks like a cross between subaru and genisis coupe.
cant wait for final product

[death_blossom]

Can't wait for this to actually come out. when the FT86 does come out, I'd be hard pressed to figure out which to buy. Toyota or Subaru version???

[thumper]

i remember reading a few months back that the subaru version may not make it to north america because cost restraints make awd too expensive, and a 2wd subaru dosen't fit in the awd profile subaru promotes here? :confused:

[cressydrift]

If it comes, the Subaru. Why would you buy a Toyota with a Subaru engine when you can get a Subaru with a Subaru engine?

I don't get this car. The AE86 was amazing in every right. Simple, light, peppy and cheap. When ever these come out (Subaru and/or Toyota) will not be remotely similar at all. I have only driven (gave it the beans, cornered hard, braked hard etc = driven) a Subaru once, and while fast, it didn't seem peppy. Ranting a bit I guess but I think Toyota is going to drop the ball. How hard is it to make a reasonable powered I6 like before or a high reving 4cly like Honda?

[twitchyzero]

damn they both look so nice...i think subaru will resemble more of its production model.

here's the news feed from ft-86 forum...rumours are rumours but here they are:

Sunday August 8, 2010 20:00
Subaru FT-86 Version Could Have 60hp More Than Toyota FT-86

A new report coming from Autocar claims that the Subaru version of the FT-86 version could be powered by up to 60 horsepowers more than the Toyota FT-86. How does this compute?

Well, the Subaru version is speculated to feature a version of the Impreza STi’s turbocharged motor with approximately 260hp, compared to the FT-86’s retuned Subaru 2.0L flat four motor good for approximately 200hp.

See INSIDE for the full details of this bit of news/rumor, and to discuss.

[flagella]

lol @ ppl thinking that's how it will look based on some test mule.

[twitchyzero]

^ see previous post.

[tofu1413]

a flat four in a toyota... seriously guys.


why not a high revving 4cyl. its not like toyota doesnt have the resourses to develop one. they do have yamaha after all...

2.0, DOHC, VVTi, 16V or even 20V, four throttle set up w/ drive by wire.

how hard is that..?

[Lancerion]

Can see some of the actual design from these:

It's not hard, just not as cost-efficient as using a motor that's already there. Plus they can have a lower-priced coupe from Toyota and more premium coupe with the Subaru version. Obviously if there is not a huge price difference then the Subaru will pillage sales.
