The Subaru Alcyone SVX, a name that conjures images of sleek styling and technologically advanced engineering, was a grand touring coupe produced by Subaru from 1991 to 1996. This unique and stylish vehicle, originally known as the Subaru XT (Experimental Touring) during its development stages, aimed to carve out a niche for itself in the luxury market, competing with the likes of the BMW 3 Series and the Lexus SC 300. The SVX's design, a collaboration between Subaru and renowned Italian design house Pininfarina, showcased a bold and futuristic aesthetic with distinctive features like its teardrop-shaped body, flush-mounted door handles, and a distinctive "boxy" rear window and spoiler. The SVX also boasted a pioneering "aero-shaped" windshield, which flowed seamlessly into the hood, creating a smooth, aerodynamic profile.

Underneath its stylish exterior, the SVX housed a 3.3-liter horizontally opposed six-cylinder engine, a hallmark of Subaru's engineering prowess. This engine, paired with a 4-wheel independent suspension system, delivered a refined and comfortable driving experience, while its permanent all-wheel drive system provided exceptional grip and handling, even in adverse weather conditions. However, the SVX's innovative design and advanced technology came at a price, both literally and figuratively. The car was criticized for its complex construction, which made it difficult and expensive to repair, and its relatively high price point compared to its rivals. Despite its limited success in the marketplace, the Subaru Alcyone SVX remains a distinctive and memorable vehicle, a testament to Subaru's dedication to pushing the boundaries of automotive design and engineering.
