Mid-Engined Subaru Prototype Under Development: Report

The latest buzz out of Japan indicates that Subaru could be in the process of developing a mid-engined sports car to be positioned as a halo for the brand.

Believed to be testing on an adapted version of the front engined, rear-wheel-drive platform from the BRZ, the new model will offer a mid-mounted boxer engine driving the rear wheels, with a pair of electric motors driving the fronts.

Sources from within Subaru have leaked the information, with the new vehicle apparently under development at the request of Subaru’s United States dealer network.
