Toyota FT-86 concept: Toyota's return to sports cars!!!






Following countless rumors about the new 'Toyobaru', Toyota will finally show a concept (FT-86) at Tokyo Motor Show giving a glimpse of how the production car will look like.

In terms of dimensions, it's just 4160mm long and 1760mm wide. The FT-86 is credited to Toyota's French ED2 studio. CAR magazine claims the following in terms of spec:

"Toyota's new coupé has a 2.0-litre boxer engine from the Impreza, and much of the architecture is based on the Legacy's oily bits. The four-wheel drive has been dumped, however, in the name of saving weight while the six-speed gearbox comes from Aisin, who developed the LF-A's transmission."

"Toyota's new Celica shold be a blast: between 140 and 200bhp depending on whether they turbocharge it, rear-drive and a price tag of around £20,000 make this one of the sports cars to yearn for in 2011-12."
