The Alcyone SVX, also known outside Japan as the Subaru SVX, is a mid-sized GT coup that was sold by Subaru from 1991 to 1997. It was Fuji Heavy Industries first attempt to enter the luxury/performance car market. Its intention was to combine two seemingly contradictory elements - comfort and performance. While a well-balanced sports car appealed to the driver in everyone, most people didn't want to sacrifice comfort and luxury. The Subaru SVX actually created a new passenger car niche - the balanced luxury performance coupe.
In 1991, a Subaru SVX, driven by Ken Knight and Bob Dart, won the Alcan Winter Rally, a race starting in Seattle to the Arctic Circle and back.
Performance:
Acceleration from 0-60 mph was 7.3 seconds, with a standing 1/4 mile time of 15.4 seconds at 92.5 mph (148.9 km/h). The top speed of the 1992/1993 SVX was 182 mph (293 km/h), while in later models (1994-1997) the top speed was electronically-governed at 153 mph (246 km/h).
Fore more info have a look at:
