Produced from 1991 to December 1996, t was FHI's first attempt to enter the luxury/performance car market. Its intention was to combine two seemingly contradictory elements—comfort and performance. The name "Alcyone" (pronounced "el-SIGH-uh-nee")[1]refers to the brightest star in thePleiadesstar cluster, n which the Subaru logo is based.

Development[edit]Alcyone SVX hood emblemThe Subaru Alcyone SVX made its debut, s a concept car, t the 1989Tokyo Auto Show.[2]Italian automobile designerGiorgetto GiugiaroofItalDesigndesigned the slippery, leek bodywork,[3]incorporating design themes from his other concepts, uch as the Ford Maya and the Oldsmobile Inca. Subaru decided to put the concept vehicle into production and retain its most distinguishing design element, he unconventional window-within-a-window. Subaru called this an "aircraft-inspired glass-to-glass canopy," which was adapted from the previous modelSubaru Alcyonewith an additional extension of glass covering theA-pillar. The decision to release this car for production gave the public the first opportunity to buy a "concept car" as conceived. The suffix "SVX" is an acronym for "Subaru Vehicle X".

In contrast to the boxy, ngularXT, he SVX had curvy lines designed by Giugiaro and the unusual two-piece power side windows. The windows are split about two-thirds of the way from the bottom, ith the division being parallel to the upper curve of the door frame. These half-windows are generally seen on exotic vehicles with "scissor", gull-wing", r "butterfly" doors, uch as theLamborghini Countach,De Lorean DMC-12(another Giugiaro design), nd theMcLaren F1. The SVX's aerodynamic shape allowed it to maintain the lowdrag coefficientofCd=0.29, reviously established by the XT coupe it replaced. Its appearance is similar to theCitroën XM, ith the use of a "glass-to-glass" canopy, he beltline notch, nd the aerodynamic appearance.

From 1991 to 1992, ubaru displayed theAmadeus, prototypeshooting brakevariation on the SVX, n both two- and four-door versions, hich was considered for production.[4]Ultimately theAmadeuswas not produced.[5]

Powertrain[edit]Unlike the previous model, hich had been available with either aturbochargedflat-four (as XT) or a naturally aspirated flat-six (as XT6), he SVX debuted with and remained available with only one engine, heEG33model 3.3-liter boxer horizontally opposed flat-six. This engine was the largest engine produced by Subaru for its passenger cars until the introduction of the 3.6-literEZ36engine in the 2008Subaru Tribeca. The previous generationSubaru Alcyonehad installed a turbocharger on the four cylinder engine, ut the largerEG33was more powerful and a turbo was not installed.

EG33, uad cam, 4 valve engineInternally, he engine is essentially a six-cylinder variant of theEJ22found in the first-generation Japanese marketLegacyandImpreza. The new 3.3-liter variant was equipped withdual overhead camshaftsand four valves per cylinder, nd had an increased compression ratio of 10.1:1, ringing horsepower up to 172 kilowatts (231hp) at 5,400 rpm with 309 newton metres (228lb·ft) of torque at 4,400 rpm. Fuel delivery was accomplished with sequential multi-port fuel injection with dual spray injectors. Engine ignition used platinum spark plugs and a computerized management system with "limp home feature", hich included over-rev protection, onitors fuel injection and ignition.

The exhaust system consisted of head pipes from each bank of cylinders with their own pre-catalytic converters, hich entered a dual-inlet / single outlet main catalytic converter. A single 2.5-inch (64mm) exhaust pipe exited the main converter and went into a resonator, nd onto the main, ransverse, ingle inlet muffler with twin exhaust tips in the bumper.

All versions of the SVX sold were equipped with automatic transmissions, s a manual transmission capable of handling the horsepower and torque of theEG33engine was not produced by Subaru at the time.[6]Depending on the country, ubaru had two versions of their all-wheel drive system for the automatic transmission, alled ACT-4 orVTD. The first system, alled ACT-4 (active torque split) by Subaru, as the same setup commonly found on other Subaru models of the period, nd used a variable clutch pack center differential using a 90/10 power split ratio front to rear, hich could transfer up to a 50/50 power split ratio for maximum traction if the front wheels started to slip. This AWD system was offered throughout the entire production run, nd was used in vehicles manufactured for sale in the US, anada, ermany, rance and Switzerland. A sportier continuous traction delivery system, alled VTD (variable torque distribution) by Subaru, as used in vehicles for sale in Japan, he UK, heBeneluxregion, weden, ustralia, pain, ustria and Brazil. The VTD AWD system is a permanent AWD due to its 36/64 split.[7]

The Japanese-spec "SVX L" receivedfour-wheel steeringin 1991 and 1992, odel code "CXD" (1,905 built). The VTD equipped versions received the "CXW" chassis code. In an attempt to lower the price for the US market, front-wheel drive ("CXV") was offered in 1994 and 1995 but sales weren't abundant.

• 0-60 mph: 7.3 seconds
• 1/4 mile: 15.4 seconds at 92.5mph (148.9km/h)
• Top speed: 154mph (248km/h) (1992–93), 43mph (230km/h) (1994+ due to the addition of an electronic speed governor)[8][9]
• 60-0mph: 98ft (30m)[10]

Market[edit]Total sales of the SVX numbered 14,257 in the United States and a total of 24,379 worldwide.[11]2,478 SVXs were sold in Europe (with 854 headed directly to Germany and 60 to France). Roughly 7,000 of all SVXs sold were right-hand drive models. Included in this number were the 249 vehicles sold in Australia, t a cost between approx. A$73,000 to A$83,000. 5,884 units remained in Japan.

As an investment, ubaru actually lost $3,000 on every Subaru SVX sold, or a total loss of around $75,000,000 on this project[citation needed]. It was also developed and released during Japan's "bubble economy", nd as the economic condition in Japan continued to decline, t had an effect on sales in Japan.

Asia[edit]In Japan, he SVX was the first Subaru to exceedgovernment dimension regulationswith regards to the vehicles exterior measurements. The SVX also obligated Japanese buyers to pay more annualroad taxwhich limited sales due to the engine displacement. The SVX was not Subaru's first car to be sold in Japan with an engine bigger than two litres; this honor goes to the preceding Alcyone XT6.

The models offered in Japan were the L (similar to the LSi in the U.S.) and the S4. As a result, n Japan the SVX was considered a luxury vehicle and was equipped appropriately with one-touch climate control, eather interior, ront seats that were both electrically adjustable and heated, single-disc CD player coupled with a Panasonic AM/FM stereo system, hat was hidden behind a retractable panel, nd a remote-controlled infrared keyless entry with security system. The luxury approach followed the introduction of the Subaru Legacy four years earlier.

The television commercial advertising the car in Japan usedAlison Krausssinging "Five Hundred Miles",[12]a reference to the car being able to travel 805 kilometres (500.2mi) on one 70 litres (18USgal) tank of fuel, ith a fuel economy of 9.4L/100km (30mpg-imp; 25mpg-US).[13]

Also, n Gaming, he Alcyone SVX appeared in various games such as Polyphony Digital'sGran Turismoand Bandai Namco'sWangan MidnightMaximum Tune. Notably, he 4-Speed Gearbox is featured in both games.

North America[edit]A Subaru SVX in the United States.Subaruintroduced the SVX in the United States in July 1991 (as a 1992 model), ollowing up the U.S. debut with a Japanese market introduction in September of that same year. The model was designed and marketed as the replacement for their aging, nvelope pushing Alcyone XT and Alcyone XT6 coupes. Outside Japan, he Alcyone designation was dropped, nd the car was marketed as the Subaru SVX. The 1992Subaru Legacywas given a facelift that strongly resembles the SVX, ntroducing a visual similarity between Subaru's top level vehicles. Many of the color choices on the Legacy mirrored those offered on the SVX. The introduction of the SVX followed the 1990 introduction of theAcura NSX, s it appeared that Subaru was following Honda's lead in introducing new products with an emphasis on performance and luxury, hich were not previously associated with either Honda and Subaru in the past, hich reflected the state of the Japanese economy before the economic downturn in 1991 called the "bubble economy".

The Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) for the U.S. base model 1992 SVX-L was $24,445, ith the top of the line model with touring package (leather trim, way electronic seat adjustment, ilt and slide sunroof), he LS-L, isting at $28,000.[10]This was $8,000–$11,000 higher than any previous Subaru. A rear spoiler was optional on the 1992 L and LS-L models and was included as standard equipment beginning in 1993. There was a brief XR model in 1992 that was made on the first production run that included the spoiler standard but put the vehicle over the import weight limit. As a result the spoiler was shipped separately. On the other hand, t was almost $5,000 lower than a comparable four wheel driveDodge Stealth R/T/Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4, hough with almost 100 additional horsepower, he Stealth/3000GT twins were much faster and more technologically advanced.[10]By the end of its production run in 1996, he price had risen to $36,740 for the top-of-the-line LSi, hich was the same trim level as the 1992 LS-L

Soon after the SVX entered production, ubaru began to realize that the high selling price of the SVX was giving some buyers "sticker shock".[citation needed]In an attempt to attract more buyers, front-wheel driveversion was offered on the SVX during the 1994–1995 model year, hich cost about $5,300 less than the AWD version in 1994. and $1500 difference in 1995. In 1994, WD was offered on both the base L model (X33 in the VIN) and on the mid-range LS model (X34 in the VIN). In 1995, nly the base L model was offered in FWD (X33 in the 5th, th and 7th digits of the VIN). Buyers avoided the compromised FWD version and weak sales figures led to its discontinuation after 1995.

Due to the SVX's introductory high price, nd the fact that it had made its debut during an economic recession, ales in the United States were sluggish; just 5,280 cars were sold in 1992 and 3,859 cars in 1993. Subaru intended to sell 10,000 SVX's each year. Although ending production in December 1996, llowing for transit time before the final cars arrived in North America, eant sales continued into 1997, ith 640 units sold in the final year.

Motorsports[edit]In 1991, Subaru SVX, riven by Ken Knight and Bob Dart, on the Alcan Winter Rally,[14]a race starting inSeattleto theArctic Circleand back.

In the early 1990s there was a Subaru SVX PPG Pace Car.[15]It featured a silver to purple fade paint job, ilver wheels in the front, urple wheels in the rear, SVX" windshield banner, oll cage and an amber roof light. It was evaluated by Wally Dallenbach Sr, ndy Car Chief Steward and PPG Pace Car evaluator. It was used as a promotional tool for Subaru, s well as a pace car. While most pace cars were retired after one season, he SVX proved to be such a worthy example and a favorite, t was used for several seasons. It now is in storage in the famous "Subaru Performance Attic" in Cherry Hill, ew Jersey, ear Subaru of America's headquarters. This is an unofficial museum where many of the unique Subaru concept cars and Subarus of historical significance are stored.
