For as long as we can remember, Subaru fans have been hoping and praying for a sports coupe from the Japanese maker. And from what we know up until now, they will get their wish when Subaru unveils its own version of the Toyota FT-86. But until then, here's a different conceptual study for a hardcore Subaru coupe from Italian design firm, Beestudio.
The idea behind the Subaru Impreza Berlinetta was to create a high-performance two-seater sports car using the Impreza STI as base, but with a twist; the sedan's platform would be turned around, meaning that the turbocharged boxer engine on the Berlinetta would reside at the rear-end of the car.
Beestudio says that the Berlinetta would make use of steel tubular chassis and body panels made of fibergrlass, aluminium or carbon fiber to further reduce the car's weight.
Being a design studio, the Italian company also came up with a blueprint for the body, but we can't say we're excited with the goofed-up Smart Roadster / Coupe look...

i love the idea but very dumb looking they need to go back to the drawing board,it would just be easier to just make a sti coupe...
Looks like a toy.
My first thought is that the designer created a Tamiya RC Subaru coupe car... Well, it looks like it is destined to be a toy car...
Trully a future design icon!
Wonderful design language, the stylings, the colour its epic. Very Marky
When I buy mine I will be awesome...
Hells Yeah! to the idea and a please try again on the concept. Oh, and how about powering it with a twin turbo flat-6, that be great, thanks!
They made that car already... its called a Toyota MR-S.
*Standing ovation*
Looks like Collin McRae's R400 in DiRT 2 game with Subaru touch.

You must have a short memory or are twelve years old. Subaru already produced a fine little AWD/FWD 'GT'/sports coupe, the 1991-1997, 'SVX'. Subaru's 'SVO' Mustang
