Ha, yeah that was a concept from 2003. At that time, Subaru was throwing around talks of creating a car to compete with Skylines, Supra's, NSX's, etc. Some of the talk was that a twin turbo B6 would be the power plant, mated to the Subaru AWD system.

I just remember this concept from years ago, and if you look at some of the renderings going around about the FT-86, they do have some similarities.

Um, that white whale is a Subaru concept from years gone by. WAY bigger/heavier than the FT-86/FR-S. And I HATE those "nice big fender flares" on it! Sculpted fenders >>> tacked-on-afterthough-looking flares...
I knew some would remember this! The Alfa Romero front end design should have given it away. This came out around the time the development of the Tribeca and 06-07 Imprezas were being designed.

Not to be a huge pain in the @$$, but can we please have at least one pic on the page when we say "hey come look at this pic." It is getting fairly tedious to click the link for this page, wait for it to load, say damn no pic, open the next page, wait for it to load, and say wow, very underwhelming, wish I hadn't bothered.

I will commend this OP though for at least trying to link the pic.

I'm pretty excited to see what this car will look like, and it's full specs.

Is it supposed to have the STI engine? If so that could make it very fun, as long as the weight is down.
Last I heard of it (and admittedly that was a while ago), it was going to have some pretty uninspiring engine specs. Anyone know if that's changed? I bet it's still all just rumor either way though...

You mean repost the pic on every page? It's not so hard to look at the first post. That's the first place I went

I even like the Subie concept! I know I know, that isn't the official release. Still anxiously awaiting that one!
