Subaru's wannabe rx-8

what do you guys think?

RX8_GT 02-25-2004 11:02 PM

Where is this from? Concept?

RX8_GT 02-25-2004 11:05 PM

Not much room for a V6. Like the general outline. A RX-8 fastback. It's a four door - right? Wheels are too much IMHO. John

What is the link to this pic?

Rx8Past 02-25-2004 11:21 PM

I'm guessing this is a concept from subaru. A friend sent me this pic and told me this concept is supposed to surpass a skyline in accleration and top speed. Its not like a new impreza, but a new subaru, something like that. I'm not too sure.
here's the link

Found it I think at http://www.i-club.com/forums/showthr...threadid=11350

It's ugly from the front - NOT like the RX-8.

wow, the back end is ugly.

RX8_GT 02-25-2004 11:28 PM

It's the Subaru B11S concept car - sort of a cross between a 350Z - perhaps a little RX-8 - and a hair trimmer. UGLY - John

i think it loox like shito!

Rx8Past 02-26-2004 12:12 AM

wow, after seeing the rest of this car. it's DAMN UGLY!

Tamas 02-26-2004 12:31 AM

I dunno - it's not too bad, but have seen better :)

hotpot 02-26-2004 03:48 AM

Actually after a nose job it would be very decent looking. IMO a great leap forward by Subaru standards.

Squidward 02-26-2004 03:58 AM

it kinda has influences from both the 8 (front and doors) and the 350z (rear)

it may be ugly, but I guarantee it will turn heads as well as stomachs..

Wouldn't be a V6... it'd be a flat 6 or a turbo flat 4. I'd bet on turbo flat 4.

mmmdowning 02-26-2004 06:03 AM

Ugly!

Spin9k 02-26-2004 06:05 AM

OMG! Save us from ugly mugly cars. I thought Subaru had a real nice hybrid sports concept out. Where did this come from?

6speed8 02-26-2004 06:10 AM

IMO most Subarus are not very easy on the eyes, but they go fast, and perhaps that's why, so we don't have to look at them for too long - lol If they built this it would probably have over 300 real HP - think about that.

racerdave 02-26-2004 06:33 AM

It also has a "Bangle butt"... most BMW fans should know what that is. :)

Well, if something resembling it (and let's hope it gets a facelift) does see the light of day, then the RX-8 and Mazda should get a lot of credit... without Mazda taking the bold step to creatively package the 8 in such a way, I doubt the other automakers would be even considering the concept.

D MENAC 7 02-26-2004 07:32 AM

That is definately FUGLY from the front! I didn't mind the rear or the side views but that front has got to be redesigned.

dankgummy 02-26-2004 08:10 AM

i like it..

BRx8 02-26-2004 12:59 PM

WTF?!?

looks like instead of going vroom vroom, it's going A-Cha-Cha-Cha-Cha-Cha

I almost didn't get it at first....

ROTFLOL!!

Tom and Jerry cartoons or any with a "big bad wolf," eh? :D

mikeb 02-26-2004 01:59 PM

why hasn't ike said anything YET?

newfinator 02-26-2004 03:39 PM

I saw it in person and didn't think it looked that bad at all. The grill may be a bit of an issue though. Anything would look better than an Impreza. If it has the kind of performance advertised it'll be a killer.

Yup, it's a flat 6, turbo... good for 285kw or 382hp...

Might not be pretty, but it's going to be a monster if they ever take it past the concept stage.
