Salon Stallion
The 1989 Subaru SVX Salon Stallion is a bold reimagining that transforms the discreet OEM coupe into an eye-catching chrome-clad showpiece emblematic of the 2000s SEMA era. Its 220 mm per side widebody stretches the silhouette with layered angular over-fenders and riveted panels, aggressively subverting the original’s smooth lines. The fully chrome-plated hood features cold-formed aluminum vents and ornamental ridges that flow into the fender crowns, while the rear hatch is punctuated by a massive polished diffuser and an 850 mm wide ascending wing, dominating the rear profile with unapologetic flair.
Beneath the mirror-finish silver wrap, the stance is set low on adjustable air suspension, offering a ride height range between 40 and 120 mm for dramatic show-floor presence. Massive Forgiato monoblock wheels in 20x12 front and 20x13 rear, wrapped in 275/25 Lenkrad Street Radials, fill the exaggerated arches with polished five-spoke simplicity. Inside, chrome and leather accents peek through heavily tinted windows, completing a package designed to captivate under the intense glare of show lighting and camera flashes.

Platform
1989 Subaru SVX
The 1989 Subaru SVX is a unique grand tourer that blends striking futuristic design with the robust engineering Subaru is known for. Featuring an aluminum and steel unibody with a distinctive three-pane window design developed by Giorgetto Giugiaro, the SVX’s platform combines impressive rigidity with a car-like all-wheel-drive system that delivers stability and traction uncommon in a luxury coupe of its era. Its transverse boxer engine layout and horizontally opposed drivetrain lend a low center of gravity, enhancing handling agility while the platform’s balance makes it a confident cruiser on both winding backroads and open highways.

Aero Package
Oversized 850 mm wide ascending rear wing with polished finish
Integrated chrome rear diffuser
Ornamental hood vents enhancing airflow aesthetics
⟡
Chassis
While primarily a show car, the adjustable air suspension allows for varied ride heights suited to display or light cruising. The wide, low-profile tires and large wheels fill the arches for a confident stance but prioritize visual impact over track performance, reflecting the Salon Stallion’s role as a centerpiece of aftermarket craftsmanship and chrome-era excess.
