Subaru Alcyone 1987
Subaru Alcyone 1987
In the kaleidoscopic world of 1980s automotive design, Subaru decided to toss a curveball — or rather, a razor-sharp wedge — into the mix. Behold the 1987 Subaru Alcyone, known to those outside Japan as the XT, a car that looked less like a mode of transport and more like a stealth fighter on wheels.
Pop the hood — or rather, lift the sleek panel — and you’ll find a turbocharged 1.8-liter flat-four engine, the EA82T if you‘re into code names. It kicked out 115 horsepower, which might not sound like much until you consider the vehicle’s featherweight 1,170 kg frame. Couple that with a 5-speed manual transmission, and you‘ve got a machine that leaps to 100 km/h in a respectable 8.5 seconds.
But straight-line speed wasn’t the Alcyone‘s party trick. Subaru’s all-wheel-drive system ensured that this coupe stuck to tarmac like gum to a shoe.
Step inside, and the future smacks you right in the face. A digital dashboard greeted drivers with luminescent displays and graphics that seemed borrowed from an arcade game. Adjustable air suspension allowed you to raise or lower the car‘s stance, not so much for practicality but because, well, why not?
Sure, it didn’t become a bestseller. But success isn‘t always measured in units sold. Sometimes, it’s about shifting perceptions, about daring to be different in a world that often rewards conformity.
Fun Facts:
The moniker ”Alcyone“ comes from Greek mythology, referring to one of the brightest stars in the Pleiades cluster. It‘s a fitting choice, considering ”Subaru“ is the Japanese name for that very constellation. So yes, this car was literally named after a star within a star cluster.
The Alcyone wasn’t just a flash in the pan, it was a torchbearer for Subaru‘s willingness to push boundaries. Its influence can be seen in subsequent models that continued to blend advanced technology with distinctive design. It reminded the automotive world that taking risks could yield something truly memorable.
