Forse non sarà un capolavoro e di certo non è tanto originale... però devo dire che se questa "anticipa", imho c'è almeno la speranza che la prossima generazione di Subby varie sia un qualcosa di guardabile almeno.

Beh direi che non è niente male. Sicuramente non originalissima, ma piacevole alla vista come poche altre subaru. Speriamo che non si perdano nella trasposizione in produzione.

carina, soprattutto dietro.

chissà se funziona...

Rivoglio il trilobo rovesciato.

Molto bella comunque.

Ma me sa... che sotto sotto c'è qualcosa del Giugiaro.

While some media outlets are questioning the viability of Subaru's own version of the FT-86 RWD Coupe that has been co-developed with Toyota due to the lack of cash, other magazines are claiming that, in addition to that car, the Japanese automaker is also planning to introduce a high-end coupe model. But hold on; doesn't that contradict the first report/s about the uncertainty of Subaru's FT-86 coupe? It sure does, so it's up to you to decide which of the two stories has more truth in it...

But anyhow. If you insist on learning the details, the second report comes courtesy of UK magazine Autoexpress which claims the range-topping Subaru coupe will be based on the Tokyo Show-bound Hybrid Tourer Concept and will serve as a spiritual successor to the long-gone, SVX.

The latter was a futuristic-looking four-seater GT designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro of ItalDesign. The mid-size coupe, which was powered by a 3.3-liter 6-cylinder boxer engine, was introduced onto the market in 1991 and remained in production until 1997.

Non si è ancora capito com'è la disposizione meccanica e il motore elettrico...chissà se tolgono l'albero di trasmissione e mettono un motore elettrico posteriore...

L'albero di trasmissione c'è ancora.

In pratica hanno sovrapposto ad uno schema integrale Subaru classico (boxer longitudinale anteriore, cambio CVT, trazione integrale) una trazione elettrica abbastanza insolita.

Ci sono due motori elettrici, uno montato tra motore e cambio (tipo classico mild hybrid) e uno montato al posteriore, prima del differenziale.

Il motore posteriore serve alla trazione quando va al 100% elettrico (quindi solo TP) e aiuta il motore a combustione interna in accelerazione.

Il motore elettrico anteriore invece si occupa di produrre corrente per le batterie, spingere gli ausiliari quando il motore a benzina è spento e in casi limite (tipo salita ripida) contribuisce anche alla trazione.

Lo schemino in giapponese a pag.1 c'era, ma ho dovuto recuperare la cartella stampa per capirci davvero qualcosa.

3. Mechanisms

In addition to refinements to Subaru’s core technology such as Symmetrical AWD and Horizontally-Opposed Boxer Engine, further enhancements were made for improved environmental friendliness, driving performance and high safety performance by offering a next-generation power unit system and advanced safety technologies.

• Next-generation power unit system
  2.0-liter Horizontally-Opposed direct fuel-injection turbo gasoline engine
  The Horizontally-Opposed turbo gasoline engine, with a reputation for powerful acceleration, is combined with a direct fuel-injection system for improvements in fuel efficiency and reduced emissions, and improved torque and response in practical range. This evolution in Subaru turbo technology excels in both environmental friendliness and engine performance.
  Lineartronic (CVT)
  Lineartronic, Subaru’s new generation automatic transmission, achieves further improvements in both fuel efficiency and driving performance by reinforcing parts for use with the high-power output of a turbo engine.
  

• Hybrid system
  To further enhance the appeal of the Symmetrical AWD system, this unique hybrid two-motor system features a power/drive motor in the front and a drive motor in the rear.
  At start-up and extremely low speeds when fuel efficiency is low, such as when driving the car into a garage, the rear motor is used primarily to allow driving without utilizing the power of the engine.
  During normal driving, the front engine is primarily used. The direct fuel-injection turbo gasoline mated with the Symmetrical AWD offers a whole new, Subaru driving experience.
  During acceleration, the rear motor assists the driving power of the engine to achieve advanced driving performance.
  Further, when accelerating uphill, the front motor, which is normally used as a power generator, assists to drive the front axle for improved performance.
  The implementation of a non-idling function that stops the engine when the car comes to a halt reduces unnecessary fuel consumption.
  The use of a high-performance lithium battery is based on experience and know-how achieved with the Subaru Plug-in STELLA electric vehicle, launched this summer. This includes the use of a precise energy management system and regenerative brake controls, for improvements in excellent fuel efficiency.
