Subaru FT-86 Variant Gets Some Details

We’ve heard all kinds of details about the Toyota FT-86, but so far Subaru’s model has remained in the shadows. Today, Autocar blasted a beam of light over Subaru’s own sports car, a more powerful, more aggressive version of the FT-86.

Like the Toyota FT-86, Subaru’s version (no name yet) will feature a 200-hp version of Subaru’s 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. However, Subaru plans to add a little extra pep to its coupe by offering it with a 260-hp version of the turbocharged Boxer engine used in the Impreza WRX STi. The engines will deliver momentum to the rear wheels via six-speed manual transmissions.

The Subaru will share some body parts with the FT-86 but will have a more aggressive look thanks to a new front grille, wheels and bumpers.

Subaru’s coupe will follow the FT-86 to market, and according to Autocar’s report, will carry a price of £25,000 and £30,000 ($40K to $48K). [via Autocar]
