Go Rad or Go Home: 1987 Subaru RX – Get weird done right.

You need it Rad. You need it weird. I asked ChatGPT to use its ‘make it more’ and start with an 80’s weird car pick.  1989 Isuzu Impulse? Weirder. Renault 5 Hatchback? Weirder. Mitsubishi Colt GT Turbo? Weirder. Saab 900 Turbo? WEIRDER.

After a few endless seconds, the answer is finally found.  1987 Subaru RX Coupe?

Yes perfection.

You need it Rad and Weird, you can go grab in Los Angeles this 1987 Subaru RX, the weird up to 10 in Subaru. (The XT is 11)

The 1987 Subaru RX Coupe stands as an intriguing and distinctive representative of automotive design in the late 1980s. Crafted with an avant-garde aesthetic that defied conventional norms, this compact sports coupe exuded an unmistakable aura of eccentricity.

Beneath its unconventional exterior, the 1987 Subaru RX Coupe boasted a robust set of specifications that enhanced its performance on the road. Powering the RX was a spirited 1.8-liter turbocharged engine with 118HP and 130 lb-ft, delivering a punchy performance with very lousy steering, that made it a very specific taste for driving enthusiasts. The engine was paired with a responsive manual transmission, offering a visceral driving experience that complemented its sporty demeanor.

The RX Coupe’s handling was further refined by its all-wheel-drive system, a feature that set it apart in its class. This not only contributed to its prowess on various road conditions but also positioned the Subaru RX as a versatile and capable sports coupe.

Inside the cockpit, the 1987 Subaru RX Coupe continued to embrace its unconventional ethos. The interior featured a driver-centric design with well-bolstered seats, providing a comfortable yet connected feel. Technological amenities of the time, such as a digital dashboard and power accessories, added a touch of modernity to the driving experience.
