Sunday Stories: Toyota and Subaru to Team Up on an Upcoming Sports Car

Toyota and Subaru to Team Up on an Upcoming Sports Car


Toyota recently announced its intention to increase its share in Fuji Heavy Industries (Subaru) from 8.7% to 16.5%. This investment, estimated to cost the number one car manufacturer on the planet an impressive 31 billion Yen (306 million dollars), should increase the competitiveness of both companies. It includes a collaboration on the production of a new sports car, as well as a compact model provided by Toyota to Subaru.

This new sports car may very well be Toyota's FT-HS concept that we've already covered here a couple times at NihonCar. Right now it's impossible to guess the specifications of this vehicle, but a rear wheel drive or all wheel drive drive train combined with a hybrid motor would make sense.

Wait and see!
