Subaru Boxer Sports Car Architecture @ Geneva Auto Show 2011

Subaru has given us a first glimpse at its version of the FT-86. Sharing a chassis with Toyota’s FT-86, the car uses a rear-drive system that has been adapted from the AWD Legacy platform (same as Toyota FT-86).
On display at the Geneva Auto Show a day ahead of it’s official debut, people are disappointed that the architecture is not filled out with some stunning sheetmetal, but this revelation is far more important and certain to appease Suby fans around the globe. 
Upon inspection the vehicle, it most certainly does not have front driveshafts and is a RWD platform, leaving only the question as to why Subaru’s plaque says it does. Sorry to get your hopes up, you fans of Symmetrical AWD.

More info/media will be posted in this topic, so stay tuned!
