Not sure how I missed this thread. The mythical FT-HS becomes a reality.

I think it is absolutely beautiful. I would totally drive one.

It looks like the GTR and the 370Z had a child and then sent it into the future with a very small piece of cheese.

Concept is cool... How will the actual production models look etc..? That's the big question imo..

Mr&Mrs 09-27-2011 12:12 PM

Bump from the deep!

Is anyone still following this? I am and come December if the production Model looks good, and the specs are up to par I hope to have this parked next to the Z.

Yes, I keep an eye on this car, though it is slowly turning into a lot of nothing really.

NEWS>> FT86 ENTRY PRICE RUMORED IN JAPAN - SUB ¥2 MILLION - Speedhunters

Quote:

With the Japanese version of the Toyota FT86 presentation scheduled for the Tokyo Motor Show later on in the year, Japanese magazines have been speculating on a lot of details about the car that could single-handedly save the entry-level sports car market in Japan. One rumor that most seem to be agreeing on is that the successor to the legendary hachiroku will be sold for ¥1.99-million. With the strength the Yen has been enjoying as of late the converted price of $26,000 might seem pricey buy we can expect the Scion version of the car to be much closer to the $20,000 mark. If this is so, that will make the FT86 more affordable than the entry level Mazda Roadster in Japan, which sells for a ¥2.33-million ($30,500). This is one car everyone is waiting for!

That is what im afraid of but im keeping my hopes up for now. This car has the potential to be huge. I still think I might get the Suby version though I just cant see myself in a Scion not downing them at all they just seem teeny bopper to me.

I wish they would reconsider putting it under the Toyota badge, but Scion is the new 'hip' brand so it will go that way.
For 20k it seems like a decent deal, compared to other companies offering FWD 4 bangers at that price, but throw in a turbo and add 2-3k and it will be a huge hit.

Mr&Mrs 09-27-2011 12:35 PM

I know it is rumors....but I hear the following model year may have a turbo option. I do not want to wait though and will just add it to the car later. The Global market will be badged a Toyota, just not in the U.S.

True, and I assume a lot of people will rip off the Scion logo and put a big T.
I heard a rumor that there might also be a STi version made but no official word yet on what that would have under the hood or other options. Only thing they did say was it will stay RWD even if a STi version is made.

Jamaica 09-27-2011 12:42 PM

for around 20k it should be a fun car to drive. I hope its RWD.

damn that looks just like the widebody subies from behind, and like the bubble celica from the side...

Scion FR-S / Toyota FT-86 Leaked in Modellista Catalogue

Looks like the production version stayed pretty close to the last concept version. I hope the specs turn out well.
