Subaru powered Toyota FT-86 Concept

1. FT-86 Concept (world premiere)
The FT-86 ("86" pronounced "hachi roku"), a compact rear-wheel-drive sports car, provides driving joy and excitement.

* Compact design gives driver greater control, while body's lightness and low center of gravity allow racecar-like handling
* Both power and environmental performance provided by 2-liter boxer engine and light body
* Flash Red body color contains hint of blue; interior expresses modern feel with minimal coverage of the highly refined structural components evoking enthusiasm for cruising

I don't think it looks so good. But I can see it selling well if it's cheap. I could never imagine myself caring about it enough to take time to wash it more than twice a year. Only the z get's me excited enough to take time to wash it.

hey for an estimatd 20K something and RWD... it aint bad considering its coming from toyota they have all but given up on this segment.. i give them and E for effort. this thing could be a great entry level sports car for someone. id rather see people riding around in these than eclipses and celicas

Yeah I agree toyota's effort to bring a sporty car back into their lineup is a good thing. I wonder how the final car will look like.

Seems interesting, odd for a small car they put two calipers for rear brakes maybe just a design thing since its a concept

check out the display of Fuji Speedway in the gauges

Not bad, but the Z looks better imo. Although if they changed the rims out, kept the weight around 2500lbs and put the 265hp boxer engine in it, this could be a great car.

Sweet Radio/ DVD player

That thing is SICK!!!! It's about time Toyota built some serious performance cars that are affordable. What's with the "zip up" interior?

Anyways, bye-bye Celica, hello RWD 21st century AE86!

The passion is back

Looks good, for a 20,000 price it will sell very well.
More power than an Si, RWD, 2+2, it could really take the market as a entry sporty vehicle if they can do all of these things and keep that price.

phelan · 10-06-2009, 11:18 AM

Agreed, that looks like a lot of car for around 20,000. it's a bit TOO futuristic in the interior; lot of form that kinda questions its own functionality. i mean, seriously, it looks like the dash just swallows DVDs for breakfast.

with that said, i'll be thrilled to see this go into production. subie's boxer engine in a lightweight FR chassis....and i'd throw the welcome back party for toyota.

now someone needs to mod the chassis to bring back trueno flip-up lights!

The Associated Press reports it will cost about 3 million yen ($33,700). That seams a bit high though, I think they got something wrong, unless that would be a top of the line model with the 305hp Turbo boxer engine.
