"The Giugiaro-designed SVX, short for “Subaru Vehicle X,” replaced the aging and angular XT Coupe and gave Subaru buyers a chance to own a true concept car. Introduced at the 1989 Tokyo Auto Show, the SVX’s slippery lines and “aircraft-inspired glass-to-glass canopy” were striking, mirroring designs kept mostly to Italian exotics. The unconventional window-within-a-window was carried over from the concept car, though many owners were puzzled as to what purpose it truly served. At the time, the EG33 3.3-liter boxer V6 was the largest Subaru motor to date, bringing with it a potent 231hp. Being a Subaru, the SVX was of course all-wheel-drive. With looks that stood out and power to run with top end models from many competitors, the SVX was an anomaly among an otherwise practical fleet from Subaru."—Official description[1]
The 1996 Subaru SVX is an all-wheel drive sports car by Subaru.
It appears in Forza Motorsport 6 as part of the Alpinestars Car Pack, as standard in Forza Motorsport 7 and Forza Horizon 3, and in Forza Horizon 5 as part of Series 39.
Synopsis[]
The SVX is a futuristic designed grand tourer that acted as Subaru's halo car. Penned by Giorgetto Giugiaro, whom kept many design elements from the 1989 concept car including a glass canopy and split side windows, it was a standout among contemporary Subaru models and competitors.
At its highest specification, the SVX was equipped with an all-wheel drive system that drew power from a 3.3 liter flat-six through a four-speed automatic transmission.
Due to poor sales caused by a high price tag, it was only produced for five years from 1991 to 1996.[2]
