Subaru Sport Mobility concept previews a quirky all-paw sports car

Sitting beneath a four-rotor five-rotor flying machine at the 2023 Japan Mobility Show is Subaru's athletic Sport Mobility concept.

The low-slung short-wheelbase two-door is a quirky-looking concept that Subaru promises is a four-wheel drive sports car. Think of it a shrunken modern-day SVX, if you like.

It doesn't share any visual cues with the current BRZ or Toyota's FT-Se concept, instead, this project looks to be wholly Subaru driven.

Carbon fibre aero turbofan-style wheel covers sit on the alloys and the car itself has typically square Subaru angles rather than the organic lines you'd see on a classic sports car.

The angular bodywork is intentional says Subaru, creating "a firm and clean three-dimensional shape that conveys a sense of protection and airflow", and that the concept is "a BEV concept model that foreshadows the evolution of Subaru Sport value".

Range, power and platform are unconfirmed. We expect that it will use new modular underpinnings, rather than Subaru's e-SGP architecture found under the existing Solterra electric car.
