Next Gen Subaru WRX STI 2 Door Could Be Developed With Toyota

n its next iteration, the Subaru WRX STI—as well as its more civilian WRX brethren—could reportedly abandon its current four-door body style to bring back the coupe format not seen since the rally-inspired car's first generation.

Japan's Best Car claims the new two-door WRX could use an updated version of the current 2.0-liter turbo power plant, the FA20. This echoes a prior story that the FA20 would stick around in the new WRX and would be paired exclusively to a continuously variable transmission (CVT) with sport shifting modes. It will reportedly use an improved version of Subaru's performance all-wheel-drive system, upgraded with the help of Toyota.

They showed something like this concept before the last generation and then delivered plain vanilla.

Seems like a 2 door WRX would eat into the BRZ and 86 sales.

For reals?....

after the work Toyota did with BMW for the new Supra, that's a BIG "duh! of course!"

the next WRX will probably be the AWD variant of the Supra base platform.
