Get ready for Toyota / Subaru FT-86 related cracking post...!!!

One thing that I really enjoy is searching for info... and one car that I really look forward hitting the markets is the Toyota / Subaru FT-86. I just hope that I will be financially sound in order to buy it...

Anyway, I have found some interesting shots from a a number of Japanese magazines, so stay tuned for the post... it's coming soon ;-)

Subaru Forester tS STI... for Japan only

Subaru will produce an STI version of the Forester tS. Fancy one? Well, only 300 cars will be built and before you run to your local Subaru dealer, bare in mind that you have to live in Japan in order to get one...

Production is scheduled to run from now until the end of March 2011 and all cars will be fitted with a 5-speed automatic transmission. The 2.5L engine will produce 263 ps and 347 Nm of torque. STI tuned dampers, springs, body bracing will be fitted.

The STi version costs 3,600,000 ¥.

Rendering shows Subaru FT-86 and new Impreza STI

The rendering above, which has been published by a Japanese magazine, shows the upcoming Subaru FT-86 on the left and the new Impreza STI on the right. Although this is just a rendering and the design of both cars appears to be a little dramatic, it provides an indication of the possible future design language of Subaru could look like. I think Subaru has to do a lot of work in terms of design, in order its cars to have a clear identity.
