More details of the upcoming Toyota/Subaru 086A

There have been talks about a Subaru and Toyota’s 086A pet project and to follow-up, fresh information of the Toyubaru have come out. Although it was reported initially, now it is confirmed that the 086A chassis will be slightly revised with a shorter wheelbase, and will employ the new front strut suspension and multilink setup of the new Legacy.

It seems that development codes for the Japanese version have been finalized, bearing the 086A designation. Development codes for Europe and North America are still subject to change. The base powerplant has been established as a revised 2.0-liter EJ20 unit with direct injection fuel system that can produce 198hp at 7200 rpm and 148lb-ft torque. A disguised test car is set to hit the Nurburgring at the later part of April 2009.

Could be cool.

I'd like to see the final product looking like that. It's cool, but not 'in your face' with the styling.

A lot more promising than what GM has to offer or postpone.

Little by little Toyota is returning to the ninties when they ruled in the high performance arena. They still have millions of Supra,Celica and MR-2 fans just waiting for the return of the king. The heavenly King is coming and so is the return of our motorsport king. Hey, more power to'em if they want to release small high performance cars again they have an enormous following just waiting.

Love the looks of that rendering, toned down and doesn't look like a cartoon character. 90's were the pinnacle in auto designs...
