how come it looks like they are using duct tape to hold the car's panel together??? too much mythbuster?

Yeah its a test mule so "ugly" is a given, pretty sure when prod model comes out everyones gonna be all over it

C'mon, u guys know better than to comment on a test mule that is heavily disguised. The whole point is to throw ppl off so u can be assured the end product will be totally different.

Looking past the hackness of it, I like the overall basic shape. Can't wait to see the real thing.

calm down people
it's a test mule

you know what? the side and back looks like the old VW corrado LOL

what about the blocked intercooler!?

Imagine the stance it could pull off tho!
looks very slamable

what car is that?

^ ft-86 STI:lol

why is it that we do not see running prototypes of the ft-86? maybe i missed them but all the ft-86's that i've seen are static displays at auto shows, none of which have ever had an open hood to show this new DI boxer engine... have they left it to subaru to do all the drivetrain development work using these fugly test mules?

^^ best looking sti imo

if this is the subaru version....i guess the toyota version will look better because i dont see it getting any worse. I really hope its a real coupe unlike the rx8.

^ there's 2 versions? i thought they both(subaru & toyota) collaborated to create this? :S
also, my guess on the "vw corrado" body style is probably related to the ae86. cause i've read from a while ago and forgot where, that toyota's making a "new ae86" with the help of subaru =P i could be wrong though, probably am:lol

i'd actually be HAPPIER if they did a production re run of those limited 22B impreza STi's...

screw the so called new (crappier) designs.


i mean back in the 90's Nissan USA did an in house re runs of datsun 240Z's... using new old stock parts to make quite a few 240Z's and sell them for 20k+ a pop..

are u fucking kidding me???? this is the ft86.... wtf...!?

The car is you see here is heavily disguised, if not simply slapped together with body work out of the parts bin. I'll guarantee the car will look a lot different once it's officially revealed.

I love how everyone is so gullible.

i remember when SLS was being developed..

first pic, all it was, was a chassis, and a box'ed body.

the front kinda reminds me of the ms3 front

^hmmm...toyota's version looks better...the subaru's version reminds me of a pig in the front...and i dont like how the back resembles the impreza sedan in terms of tail light design.

rx8 style rear door ??

Once these cars are out, it's gonna start kicking some ass !
Image under a RWD set up and 3000 lb chassis with a STi engine which is capable of 300 hp stock. I can see a 500+ hp FT86 in the near future !
