Toyota FT-86 vs Subaru 216A

Looking good. I'll be getting the scion version, but I'm sure both cars will be a steal as far as what you get for your money. I'm guessing there is no conformation on the price of the Subaru yet?

I'm liking the Subaru version of the FT-86 more than the Toyota and Scion version.
The Subaru 216A looks so much more aggressive and looks like it's packing some serious power!

Speaking about power, i'm told the 216A is suppose to come with a EJ25 or something similar? Does anyone know if this is true? What other engines will the Subaru 216A come with?

I don't know much about subbi's but my guess is that the Subaru 216A engine will come from the current 2011 Subaru WRX STi... don't know the engine code but these are the engine spec's & performance numbers

Displacement: 150 cu in, 2457 cc
Power (SAE net): 305 bhp @ 6000 rpm
Torque (SAE net): 290 lb-ft @ 4000 rpm

TRANSMISSION: 6-speed manual

Performance:
Zero to 60 mph: 5.0 sec
Standing ¼-mile: 13.5 sec
Top speed: 155–158 mph

Just by looks, the Subaru 216A looks lighter than the Impreza WRX STi..... so expect the 216A to have similar performance numbers but with some time shaved off.

still looking forward to some official Subaru 216A engine specifications

awesome thread.

I have a question about the subaru 216a. The picture below is suppose to be the 216a being track tested and it's left hand drive, does this mean US/North America will be getting the subaru version of the FT-86?

Their not using the EJ series engines anymore if anything it will be the FB25 if not it'll probably use the FB20 the same one the Toyota/Scion version is supposed to be using.
