Is this video about the 086a real? (subaru rwd coupe)?

I found this video saying that it was the subaru rwd coupe prototype testing. Does anybody know if it was real?

If it's than I believe it seems pretty ugly.

Yes it',s true. Toyota design with Subaru drivetrain and engine. it'll be sold as a Toyota everywhere except in the US where it'll be a Subaru. Big question is, if you find it ugly, why do you car if it',s real or not?

It',s really labelled as the Toyota FT86 idea. it's badged as a Toyota but runs one of Subaru',s coveted "Boxer" flat4 engines. And the reason why you think it',s ugly is because Toyota was on the style front and they seemed to style it after their likewise loveitorhateit FTHS Hybrid Synergy Drive idea that has been labelled as the legendary Supra',s comeback.
