The long awaited Toyota FT-86 sports coupé took another step towards hitting the road at the Frankfurt Motor Show.

The sleek 2+2 uses a Subaru developed rear-wheel drive chassis and boxer engine and will be built at Subaru's Gunma factory in Japan.

Christened the FT-86 II in reference to the fact that this is the second evolution of the concept, first shown back in 2009, the car gets revised detailing front and rear, particularly around the front bumper and lights.

It also gets a new bronzed paint job. The full production version is expected to make its debut, almost unchanged at Japan's Tokyo Motor Show in December.

Under the bonnet, there's a 2-litre flat-four offering around 200bhp, while the car is expected to offer drivers a choice between six-speed manual, and six-speed automatic gearboxes.

 

Looks sick! Just reminds me of a G coupe tho a little bit!

 

so it will officially be a toyota and not a scion?

 

Like!

 

No, only in the rest of the world. USA= scion

 

I'm sorry but that rear is fugly.

 

pics too small to tell

 

I think the styling will be a lot more muted like the ones on C&D.

Digging that diffuser though.... The rear definitely feels a little off to me... (taillights prob)
I'd rather it be a toyota...

 

200hp? No turbo?

 

Leave it to Toyota... all show & NO GO!!

 

Hopefully they better a better engine or add a FI option for ppl who like to drive cars fast rather than having a slow car that looks fast. I like the Subaru BRZs styling better, its a lot more subtle but still looks awesome!

Boxer Engine


Could potentially be a very, very nice car with a drop and aftermarket parts
