I spotted this Subaru XT-6 north of Seattle and I just had to take pictures. Such a radical 80's car. It looks like a spaceship, and has crazy technology embedded in its interior like holographic 3-D dynamic displays, racing seats, and self-adjusting ride height
Here are the specs (from Wikipedia)
2.7 Liter boxer @ 145 Hp to the wheels
Massive 160 ft-lbs of torque
Full time 4 wheels drive
Dynamic height control which varied with speed
Tucked in Fold-Up Headlights, Tucked in Wiper blade
Front air dam and Spoiler
About the interior:
The standard tilting-telescoping steering moved the instrument panel to keep it lined up with the steering column when tilting. The shifter was joystick-shaped and had a thumb trigger interlock and "on-demand" four-wheel drive button. Turbo models featured a sort of artificial horizon orange backlit liquid crystal instrument display with the tach, boost indicator, temperature and fuel gauges seen as three-dimensional graphs tilting back out to the horizon.
The XT was loaded with features rarely found on small cars, such as a turbo, a computer-controlled engine management and transmission, adjustable height suspension and an optional digital instrument cluster. The XT also had some features found on few other cars, such as an electronic in-dash trip, retractable flaps covering the door handles, and a single wiper blade for the entire windscreen. Pass-through folding rear seats and racing style front seats were standard equipment.
thought it was important to share this piece of awesomeness, a rarely seen and under appreciated car- one of the most aerodynamic designs of all time, and to top it off, it looks like a fuckin spaceship!!!
