Default Subaru 216A confirmed! Subaru's version of FT-86 will have turbo + AWD

Just as soon as the Toyota FT-86 was born and came to this world at the Tokyo Motor show, it’s bigger, badder twin brother is about to hit the stage.



It’s well known that Subaru and Toyota have been in the same bed developing the FT-86 but one question that remains on everyone’s lips is how, if they are developing the same car, can the two be different? Well it’s emerged that Subaru has been busy waving their wand over the 086A/FT-86 and is going to bring some very Subaru style magic to the table.

Looks like they took most of the styling cues from the Genesis Coupe IMO.

Looks like all PS'ed .. but let's see the real deal since the final product usually always looks 75% as good.
