Toyota confirms Toyota FT-86 sports coupe coming to North America

BLUESLATE · 02-09-2010, 04:09 PM

Subaru version maybe?

Xan · 02-09-2010, 04:11 PM

322HP would be on the (STI) Impreza. (215HP for the WRX)

Unless my info is wrong, the Toyota is getting the NA, which is only 161HP

Not from a 4 banger, maybe the Subaru version which will be the same engine but turbo.
The winning factor this car is riding on is the sub 3,000 pound weight limit, 200HP sub 3,000 might be a nice combo at a cheap price.

It's a Toyobaru! Subaru is making a mirror car! 200 to 250HP, 4cylinder, a little smaller body than the Z.

Power to weight guys, always remember!
This is going to be a great tuner-friendly rwd car from toyota!
They should've resurrected the MR2, one of my favorite toyota cars.
That car is badass!

agreed, the FT-86 will be a tuner community car, what the Z car is not (until you get enough funds to strip everything and force induction it)

FT-86 design might change. Toyota’s North American design studio CALTY has survived the selection process to have its version of the FT-86 accepted as the basis of the new model instead of European and Japanese efforts.

Update: FULLSIZE video interview showing FT-86 concept interior & exterior

learning from video, there is nothing that says about Geneva autoshow or that really the design hasnt been rejected. sorry for my previous assumptions. anyway a must see video!

NOPE, 200 to 250HP. Just read the article in SS today.

BriinumsBo · 02-21-2010, 11:23 AM

rumorous article id bet

my guess is the base model would be probably smth below 200 maybe even 160.. just waaaay underpowered to let the tuners do their first chip unlock and then do some forced induction at stage 2.. with a nice turbo setup should run at 300whp with stock internals.. my2c. or my hopes

BriinumsBo · 02-23-2010, 07:05 PM

another FT86 exhibition: Osaka Automesse 2010: FT-86 G Sports & AE86 Trueno
