The Subaru BRZ isn’t exactly flying off dealer lots, but that hasn’t stopped the company from unveiling the Sport Mobility concept at the Japan Mobility Show.
Designed to foreshadow the “evolution of Subaru Sport,” the electric concept features a striking design that mixes soft curves with squared off accents. Subaru didn’t say much about the car, but it features a distinctive front end with a pronounced intake, vertical air curtains, and slender headlights.
While the front end leaves a lot to be desired, the greenhouse is exquisite and features blacked out pillars for a seamless appearance. Elsewhere, the car has streamlined bodywork and distinctive fenders. They’re joined by aerodynamically optimized wheels and what appears to be a Lamborghini-inspired carbon fiber composite.

The rear end is pretty plain by comparison. However, it has slender taillights and fin-like accents.
There’s no word on specifications, but Subaru said the “basic framework is based on the concept of a driver at the center, controlling all four wheels at will.” The company went on to say the concept has a “low seating position” as well as “excellent visibility” for “enjoyable driving with peace of mind.”
As far as we can tell from the photos, it appears to have a similar footprint to the BRZ.
Subaru Air Mobility Concept
Besides the coupe, Subaru showed off a glorified drone with a passenger compartment. It features six enclosed blades as well as a car-like greenhouse and automotive-style lighting units.
Subaru didn’t say much about it, but noted “in the world of aviation, where electrification and automation technologies are advancing, there are growing expectations for new air mobility that will bring about an air mobility revolution.’” The company added that engineers from their aerospace and automotive divisions are currently working together on “flight demonstrations.”
