Subaru XT (1985-1991)

XT
Production: 1985-1991

The XT coupe was a bold departure from traditional Subaru design. The wedge-shape and digital dash display made it one of the most futuristic looking cars on the market when it debuted in 1984. The XT had an incredibly low drag coefficient of just .29, which made it one of the most aerodynamic production cars in the world. The XT was known as the Alcyone in Japan – the name referring to the brightest star of the Pleiades star cluster.
