The Subaru SVX, produced from 1991 to 1996, was a grand tourer that showcased Subaru’s technical ambition. Its 3.3-liter flat-six engine, known as the EG33, produced 230 horsepower and 228 lb-ft of torque, enabling a 0-60 mph time of approximately 7.3 seconds. The SVX featured a unique “window-within-a-window” design, referred to as an “aircraft-inspired glass-to-glass canopy,” which reduced wind noise and improved aerodynamics. This design contributed to a low drag coefficient of 0.29, enhancing fuel efficiency and stability. The interior boasted an aircraft-inspired cockpit, with pod-mounted controls and a joystick-style gear shifter, reflecting Subaru’s commitment to innovation and luxury. (en.wikipedia.org)
