2005 Subaru B5-TPH Concept<\/h1>\n

Symmetrical all-wheel drive specialist, Subaru, is to display a high-powered concept car at the 39th Tokyo Motor Show which is also an environmentally-conscious hybrid.<\/span><\/p>\n

Called the B5-TPH, for \u2018Turbo Parallel Hybrid\u2019, the three-door coupe combines a 260 PS 2.0 litre boxer engine with an electric generator\/motor fitted between the engine and transmission.<\/p>\n

This provides a low-cost solution to giving driving enthusiasts lively acceleration and a high top speed but with excellent fuel consumption and low exhaust emissions.<\/p>\n

The four-cylinder horizontally-opposed petrol engine features a Miller Cycle system which improves engine efficiency by reducing pumping losses thanks to a combustion expansion stroke that is longer than the compression stroke.<\/p>\n

Normally this system makes an engine sluggish at low speeds but thanks to the electric motor, standing-start torque is boosted beyond even an Impreza Turbo’s.<\/p>\n

The electric motor itself produces 10 kW and 150 Nm torque while the petrol engine has a 191 kW output with 343 Nm torque.<\/p>\n

A new type of manganese lithium ion battery charges to 95 per cent capacity in five minutes and operates not just in city driving but also when cruising.<\/p>\n

The design of the Subaru B5-TPH itself is a striking one featuring smooth contours and a large tailgate, hinged just behind the B-post.<\/p>\n

Its crossover theme combines the practicality of a hatchback, fun of a coupe and all-terrain ability of a SUV, complete with a 200 mm ground clearance.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Subaru’s much-admired full-time symmetrical all-wheel drive and low-centre-of-gravity boxer engine ensures agile handling.<\/p>\n

But while the B5-TPH continues the theme of previous concept cars such as the B11S and B9 Scrambler, the concept is not meant to hint at any future Subaru models.<\/p>\n
