Reports say the compact rear-drive Toyota will be built by Subaru alongside the latter company’s own version of the project. Both cars will share a Subaru-sourced 2.0-litre naturally aspirated flat-four engine.

Today’s Subaru 2.0-litre boxer is a 146bhp, 141lb ft unit but, by the time the cars hit showrooms in late 2011, that engine is likely to have been superceded by an updated version - so a little more power is at least a possibility.

Lets hope they build a 4wd turbo version coz that thing might look the part but in reality it hasnt got the power to pull the skin off a rice pudding :(

It's tiny. Think Ford Fester sized. And I suppose like all twin-cams it'll not be stardard for long.

146bhp is only about 3 bhp less than the turbo version of the scooby flat 4 so thats pretty good ;D

I'm sure they will do a faster version? It looks like its going 146 just sat there  8)

Not keen, front end resembles a smudged nissan, rear looks like a blurred civic and it comes with a poor powerpack, not for me thanks. Seems like a continuation of mediocrity.

Good find though.

Do you reckon they'll get together and make a rally homologation which has a bit of power? Maybe get back into WRC? ;)

Word is that Subaru is looking to thew S2000 route, so there maybe something there.
Don't look for Toyota back in the WRC until they move out of F1.

I recall reading something about the S2000 idea, possibly one of your own posts, tho the grey matter is a tad jaded this evening.

Maybe Glock and Trulli should follow Hakkinen's example(tho stay on the road)?
