Several sketches have leaked out featuring the Subaru-branded version of a coupe co-developed with Toyota. Although supposedly not yet green-lit by Subaru, the car is continuing to push forward as a Toyota.

The Subaru sketches show a car that looks near-identical to the photos released by Toyota. The differences between the vehicles are more or less cosmetic. Subaru's vehicle has a third brake-light built into the spoiler. Tailpipes appear to be hidden as well, while side mirrors have been left off altogether.

Toyota will debut their FT-86 concept at the Tokyo Motor Show later this month. At the same time, Toyota has also confirmed the use of Subaru's 2.0-liter Boxer engine. The engine can produce as much as 200bhp, which is a 25% increase over its normal output.

However, Subaru is said to be grappling with the decision to push forward with a self-branded version of the car. The company has carved out a niche for themselves in the auto industry for providing all-wheel-drive vehicles. Meanwhile, the coupe under development is believed to be rear-wheel-drive for both auto makers.
