Car: 2015 Mazda 3
Default New Subaru Concept Car: B5-TPH

TPH stands for Turbo Parallel Hybrid, and is a gas-electric hybrid turbocharged engine that hopefully should have a lot of power and be very fuel efficient. Like ~250hp and tq as well as 38mpg and non-noticable turbo threshold. 2.0l twin turbo with a 10kw electric engine paired with it.
