Summary
Subaru's coupé, sold as the Alcyone in Japan and the Vortex in Australia and New Zealand, took its cockpit cues from aircraft, down to a joystick-shaped gear lever and, on Turbo models, an LCD cluster drawn as bar graphs.
Specifications
Cockpit
Instrument cluster
The Turbo's LCD panel draws the rev counter, boost, coolant temperature and fuel level as perspective bar graphs around an artificial-horizon line, with a small car graphic in the middle. On every version the binnacle moves with the tilt-and-telescopic steering column.
Controls
Lighting, wiper and heating switches sit on pods either side of the instrument binnacle and tilt with it; further heating controls are on the centre console. A red trigger on the gear lever engages the on-demand four-wheel drive, and a key switch turns the 55 mph speed warning on or off.
Notes
A trip computer is built into the dashboard.
