As the world finally comes to terms with Subaru’s shocking design language, the Japanese boxer maker now introduces its most striking and stylish Impreza coupe ever to rock boxer fans.
Developed in collaboration with Subaru owner Toyota, the Impreza coupe goes head to head with the BMW 3-Series Coupe and Nissan 350Z with its stout, athletic appearance. Subaru hasn’t skimped on performance either and will offer a choice of two engine options; a normally aspirated 2.0 liter engine that’s good for around 180bhp, and the legendary STi derived 2.5 liter powerplant that churns out 300bhp.
Reports suggest that the entry level coupe will feature a lightweight and less expensive rear wheel drive set up that will definitely go down pretty well with the drift community. On the other hand, the STi will of course live up to Subaru credo and will lay down power via all four wheels. Expect it in Malaysia somewhere at the end of 2010 or the first half of 2011.
