| Gyrozetter's Libird comes to life by Subaru |
2013 marks the 55th anniversary for Subaru and it seems that the Japanese car brand's really pull something in ther sleeves. First, there was the Asia-only Car Town EX offered a special Subaru 55th anniversary mission, then the 2011 web anime Hokago no Pleiades (in collaboration with Gainax) will spawn a theatrical movie version. List goes on and on and on until this...
Subaru teams up with Square Enix to create a real-life one-off version of the hero machine of Gyrozetter called the Libird. Oh, an in case what's Gyrozetter is, this is what we call it the Japanese Transformers. Square Enix made an arcade of it where it combines the drivability of anime arcade racing game with the fighting similar to Mushiking or Dinosaur King. Mazda, Mitsubishi, Mitsuoka, Nissan, Subaru, and Toyota also join the Gyrozetter fight as well where your favorite cars transformed into fighting machines set to become mankind's last hope. The Gyrozetter franchise spawned a manga, anime series on TV Tokyo, an upcoming Nintendo 3DS game, toy and hobby line and some other merchandising rights.
Anyway, the one-off. This one-off special is a collaboration between Square Enix and Subaru. No one knows what car is based on but the Libird is colored in a Subaru-colored Lightning Red and most of the components are from Subaru. It's a turbocharged 2.0L boxer engine which develops 320PS of power and 21.3kg-m of torque. It was mated with a 6-speed manual transmission. And, having learned something from the Subaru BRZ, power goes at the back!.It's a rear-wheel drive car! That's what that is!
More details this June 2013.
