Based on the current Toyota FT-86 concept that will bow at the Tokyo Auto Show, this new Subaru 086 STI is a take on the car but with a 2.5L turbo flat-four which will pack a bit more punch (around the 250hp range) than the regular N/A 2.0L but should still be RWD. We just hope that the exterior styling doesn’t let us down because we’re totally digging this car.

Nice! A mini GTR
Only 250hp??? What about the full banana 300hp turbo 4 from the WRX STI? As I said before, Subaru needs to revive the SVX name and pump up the power to make this a serious 370Z/ G37 coupe, competitor. Better yet, go with Subie's 6 cylinder and slap an STI turbo on that puppy.
Power plant debate aside, the thought of enough power and the right chassis to drift a soobie is making me tingle.
Team orange would jump on this, but it really should just get the EJ257 and the full 300 ponies
