The Subaru Rioma was a 2+2 coupe concept built by Subaru for the 29th Tokyo Motor Show,[1] and was marketed towards younger buyers as a vehicle that combined safety and sportiness.[2]

Techinical

edit

The Rioma was equipped with a 2.0 L DOHC opposed four-cylinder Flexible-Fuel Engine[1] which sent power to all four wheels via a dual-range AWD drivetrain.[2]

This concept was a showcase of Subaru's Flexible Fuel Engine,[1] running on E85 fuel. E85 engines were not seen in consumer vehicles until 1996.[3] The engine could run on gasoline, although with a lower power output than with E85.[1][2]

The Rioma was equipped with Airbags and 4-point harnesses.[1]

Design

edit

The Rioma's interior was red throughout, with the exception of the steering wheel and other trim around the driver's seat.[2][4] This bright red color extends to the engine bay, where both the underside of the hood and the engine bay's surrounding trim are in the same red color.[1][2][4]
