Toyota FT-86/FR-S

Jordo! · 07-08-2010, 04:58 AM

There's a lot of interest in this car. Lightweight, boxer motor, designed to handle and brake well (and according to the chief engineers for the project, to drift -- not that I care about that) and at a budget -- well, originally. Looks liek the production model will cost closer to 30K than 20K.

I agree, it looks a LOT like a mini-Zed.

Toyota has confirmed that they are seriously considering a turbo version (search for FT-86 G-sport concept).

It should be a pretty bad *** little car, especially if they offer a boosted version. This is the only other car I am interested in, and while we're on the subject, part of what made me decide to jump on the Z was that a rumor was floating around that the FT-86 production model was going to be delayed another two years.. supposedly that has been disconfirmed.

It's as if a GT-R and a 370Z had a baby but the GT-R also cheated on the side with a RSX.
