The Subaru XT, known as the Alcyone in Japan, broke the mold of 1980s automotive design with its radically wedge-shaped profile and futuristic features.
A true standout, the XT boasted a digital dashboard, pop-up headlights, and advanced aerodynamics that gave it one of the lowest drag coefficients of its era.
Targeted as a direct rival to sport coupes like the Toyota Celica and Nissan 200SX, the XT delivered innovation and style in equal measure.
