why can't it be like the P2, just minus the anti-lag system to make it fit our emission standards

There isn't even a slightest hint it will be turbocharged.

Maybe I can't read, but this is what your link says:

Let's be honest: When we think of exciting cars, Toyota isn't the first name that pops into our heads. We aren't the only ones who feel this way, and the high-ups at Toyota have heard our cries. Here now, we see the FT-86 Concept, set to debut at the upcoming Tokyo Motor Show -- a rear-drive, two-plus-two coupe.

Details are slim as of this writing, but we know that the FT-86 is powered by a 2.0-liter Subaru-sourced Boxer four and that the key ingredients of making this car sporty are lightness and a low center of gravity.

Is that you, Toybaru?

Consider us stoked, and stay tuned for the full details. Click through to read Toyota's very short press release.

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

Vehicle Length Width Height Wheelbase Seating
FT-86 Concept 4,160 mm 1,760 mm 1,260 mm 2,570 mm 4




Now where does it say turbo? Or you're taking these comments as word as what it will be?

I was having this conversation with "THE JON" and we both had the same feeling towards
it but i dont mind having a N/A or Turbo version, but i would like to have a AVCS in it!! Maybe something close to what a hybrid leggy motor compression ratio is at. But I hope they dont advertise this like how the scion commercial was like with the different paint schemes/rims/etc. etc. Next thing you know, it'll be on the top 10 high insurance rate cars. Doesnt matter since Ill be a TA-TA by then paying 600 bucks full coverage for a year.

i think it'd look a bit better with colormatched A pillar and B pillar.

and with the concept hatch, they should reconsider the fender flares, i know it won't flow, but i'm really missing box flares.

While I know this may have nothing to do with the FT-86, and I'm tired of hearing about it already; Proof that Toyota can still make a good sports car:



Well, a good sounding sports car anyway.

Meh, I'd take a CLK63 Black Series used. I spotted one for 68k.
