The Subaru Alcyone SVX, introduced in 1991 and discontinued in 1996, was a striking and innovative coupe that aimed to elevate Subaru's image and appeal to a more premium market. The "Alcyone" name, derived from the Greek mythological figure who controlled the winds, reflected the car's aerodynamic design, particularly its distinctive, sloping roofline. This design, with its low-mounted headlights and a unique glass-fiber reinforced plastic (GFRP) body, created a sleek profile with a drag coefficient of just 0.30. Power came from a 3.3-liter, horizontally opposed six-cylinder engine, producing 228 horsepower, coupled with a four-wheel independent suspension system featuring a unique "dual-mode" rear suspension for optimal handling. The SVX was also one of the first production vehicles to be offered with a factory-installed navigation system (in Japan) and boasted an impressive list of luxury amenities for its time.

Despite its innovative technologies and striking design, the Alcyone SVX faced challenges in the market. It struggled to carve a niche in a segment dominated by established players. Its unique design, while captivating, may have also alienated some potential buyers. The car's price point was also somewhat high compared to its mainstream competitors. Despite its limited production run (just over 12,000 examples sold in the US), the Alcyone SVX remains a distinctive and desirable car for collectors and enthusiasts. The car's combination of unique styling, sophisticated design, and sporty performance makes it a compelling testament to Subaru's ambition and ingenuity during the early 1990s.
