Voxy28 3rd Gear January 5, 2011 Share January 5, 2011 In a recent interview with a Tokyo-based newspaper, the president of Fuji Heavy Industries (Subaru's parent company) announced Toyota and Subaru will launch their jointly-developed sport coupes in late 2011. Mori Ikuo went on to say that testing is almost complete and the design team is making their final adjustments. He also stated the vehicle will be "very comfortable and fuel-efficient" with a low center of gravity that will instill driver confidence. As we have previously reported, the unnamed car will likely be outfitted with a 2.0-liter turbocharged boxer engine with 260 hp (194 kW / 264 PS). It will be mated to a six-speed manual transmission, which will send power to the rear-wheels. This one will be VW GTI killer.... I think will switch to this if the cost is not too high. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

1fast1 Supersonic January 5, 2011 Share January 5, 2011 (edited) The car needs to come with at least 320 hp stock before I'll consider it. 260 hp just doesn't cut it these days. Edited January 5, 2011 by Turboflat4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the car will end up with super duper high insurance. Anyway power is not everything.... balance chassis and accurate handling should be key priorities. If they get this right...... it will be my 1st Jap car after 10 yrs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vhtfhwlego Supercharged January 5, 2011 Share January 5, 2011 BHP is nothing if with torque. BHP is nothing if cars weights like a moon. BHP is nothing if you pump 92 unleaded too :). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
