Subaru Impreza Berlinetta – The Rear Engined Concept Car

Subaru fans would soon have their prayer for a sports coupe from the Japanese maker answered.  Subaru plans to launch their own version of the Toyota FT-86  soon. But until this happens there is the other Subaru coupe from the Italian design firm Beestudio albeit in a conceptual study form.

Subaru Impreza Berlinetta the name given to this concept is aimed to be a high performance two-seater sports car.  It uses the platform of the Impreza STI but has been turned around such that the turbocharged engine would now be fitted at the rear-end of the Berlinetta.

The body panels would be made of fiberglass, aluminium or carbon fiber which would help in reducing overall weight of the car. The chassis would be from steel tubes which would also contribute towards lessening body weight of the car.

Has close resemblance to the Smart Roadster / Coupe , Beestudio has even come out with blueprints of the car.
