Are These Toyota-Subaru RWD Coupe Spy Photos ?

There have been plenty of rumors and assumptions about what, how, when we gonna see the Toyota-Subaru RWD coupe. Every new day comes a new take. It will be cheap, it won’t be cheap, there will be a turbo AWD version there won’t be, it will debut in 2010, maybe 2011 - you get the picture. Now to add fuel to fire are these spy photos that are said to be of upcoming Toyota Subaru baby taken outside a test center in the UK.

These mystery spy photos could very well be the car in question but we’ll let you be the judge of that. What we think we know, is that the new coupe will be based on a modified Subaru Impreza platform with a 2.0-litre naturally aspirated Subaru boxer four-cylinder providing power to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual gearbox.

Since the upcoming mule aims to be a common-mans sportscar, so we do expect a price figure south of $20,000.

The coupe will be based on a revised version of the Subaru Impreza's platform and will get its boxer engine and transmission.

Although the Subaru and Toyota versions of this coupé will look different from one another around the front and rear, both will be powered by Subaru’s naturally aspirated 2.0-liter boxer engine making about 220 horsepower at 6,500 rpm.

As reported earlier, Toyota was contemplating in-wheel front motors to complete the 4WD package—as opposed to using Subaru’s symmetrical AWD system. The six speed manual transmission is confirmed and on launch new sporty will compete against the Pontiac Solstice, Saturn Sky, and the Mazda MX5.

Subaru Impreza WRC2008 To Debut At Acropolis Rally

The Subaru World Rally Team and STi has confirmed the launch of its new Impreza World Rally Car. The Impreza WRC2008 will make its debut on the seventh round of this year’s WRC, the Acropolis Rally of Greece, spanning from May 29 to June 1, 2008. Subaru will reveal all the tech details during an official launch on May 28th, in Athens, Greece.

Described by Subaru as ‘the most radically different Subaru World Rally Car in 15 years’, the new Impreza WRC2008 rocket will be driven by Petter Solberg and Chris Atkinson at the Acropolis Rally. The car was first introduced at the 2007 Frankfurt Motor Show and now comes with a radically new styling but retains the Subaru horizontally-opposed turbocharged engine mated to Symmetrical AWD.

“We are very excited to be able to launch the all-new Impreza WRC2008 ahead of schedule” said David Richards, Subaru World Rally Team principal. “It is testament to the dedication and commitment of the team behind the scenes in the UK and at STi in Japan. Just as the latest Impreza road car represents a new era for Subaru so the WRC2008 represents a new era for all of us at the Subaru World Rally Team and I am confident that we will arrive in Greece able to fight competitively.”

Subaru had won the FIA WRC manufacturers’ title for the year 1995, 1996 and 1997 and their last WRC rally success came way back in 2005 at Mexico. Now by replacing its old work-horse, the WRC2007 with WRC2008, Subaru is again entering the ring to try an undo the damage done due to its string of failures in last few years at WRC. We wish them success.
