Toyota and Subaru to Team Up on an Upcoming Sports Car
Toyota recently announced its intention to increase its share in Fuji Heavy Industries (Subaru) from 8.7% to 16.5%. This investment, estimated to cost the number one car manufacturer on the planet an impressive 31 billion Yen (306 million dollars), should increase the competitiveness of both companies. It includes a collaboration on the production of a new sports car, as well as a compact model provided by Toyota to Subaru.

This new sports car may very well be Toyota's FT-HS concept that we've already covered here a couple times at NihonCar. Right now it's impossible to guess the specifications of this vehicle, but a rear wheel drive or all wheel drive drive train combined with a hybrid motor would make sense.

Wait and see!

Having Supra power and WRX AWD would be an awesome combination.

Yep, we are still waiting for an Amazing Toyota Super Killer... The IS-F (review coming soon) is really targeted for... "older" people...

I believe they'll be using Subaru's 2.0 liter turbo-flat four and a bit of their know-how in chasis and suspension dynamics mixed with Toyota's practical sensibilities in designing sporty cars.
And surely it would'nt be the next Celica/Supra as this car is somewhat of a Toyota icon - something very special to them.
It'll be a new car that will sit in-between the top spec Corolla and a Celica/Supra for sure.

I'd say the opposite, Scooby drivetrain and Toyo engine, 3.5 liter V6 or bigger in displacement, all wheel drive.

We'll see.
