The Subaru 086A STI version featuring the next generation EJ25

M3_LIN · 10-13-2009, 06:59 PM

Hey guys,

Anyone seen this?

http://ft-86.com/showthread.php?p=575

Although the highly anticipated FT-86 is going to be displayed by Toyota, development of the Subaru version is also well under way. Expect to see even more specs in the next 2 years!

The 086A sports car is being jointly developed by Toyota and Subaru, for some reason, it will not be displayed in the Subaru booth. Because the mechanical components including the engine and chassis were created by Subaru and the design by Toyota, Toyota was allowed to display the design concept only with Subaru's permission.

However, taking a deeper look reveals that the reality isn't so simple. Toyota actually has a significant influence in the mechanical components of this car as well. First, let's take a look at the engine. The car is equipped with the next generation EJ20, which, as mentioned before, uses the same direct port injection engine as the Toyota's D4-S. In addition, it is equipped with 6 speed transmission manufactured by Aisin.

On the other hand, Subaru uses this car as a base and improves its sportiness image and is working on creating a "STI version" on their own.
There are rumors that it might use a turbo, but taking factors such as the strength of the drivetrain are taken into consideration. Chances are that it will use the next generation 2.5L EJ25 instead. The maximum horsepower will be roughly 240HP-250HP compared to the normal 200HP.

The settings around the foot? will attempt to keep the basic characteristics of the car, but with additional tuning to increase the amount of (something)G generated. Of course, the tread and tire size will increase, and the fender shape will be changed accordingly as well.

The car will most likely be revealed at the next Tokyo Motor Show in 2011, or the Tokyo Auto Salon in 2012 just prior to its release. What kind of performance can we expect from this wide-tread, wide and low STI version? Our expectations are high!

The STI version will be equipped with a wide fender, a specialized front bumper and rear spoiler. Will it also succeed in the world of motor sports?

I'd be tempted to get back into the Subaru crowd if the STi coupe makes a comeback.

I doubt its the sedan, look at where the front door ends..it's too far back like the e92 for it to have any room for the rear doors.

Pink Taco · 10-15-2009, 12:27 PM

Well... That's what I thought too. Looks hideous if it's the REAL one. Either way... it has the 08-09 STI front end. The rear is ehh...
