Enthusiasts’ necks have grown long waiting for Toyota’s FT-86 sports car. Fortunately, the wait is almost coming to an end, as the final production car will debut at the upcoming Tokyo Motor Show. In the meantime, here’s a teaser video showing Toyota engineers choosing wheels and drawing grilles for their RWD machine.
We can also see clearly the D-4S four-pot boxer engine borrowed from Subaru, who of course have their own version of the car called BR-Z.
The last we’ve seen of the FT-86 was back in March at Geneva, where Toyota wheeled out the FT-86 II Concept. That black and rather sinister looking machine was supposed to be closer to the production car than the original concept car. Click here to view our previous post.
Compact body, rear driven, boxer powered, six-speed manual = I can’t wait to drive this thing!
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
they should do a shootout between A86 and FT86 to determine who is the Drift King
Correct. Featuring the drift king himself, Keiichi Tsuchiya.
My bet on AE86.
Yeah, AE86’s light weight should do better.
yeah but the FT86 benefits from years of modern technology and learnings @ toyota since the AE86. so the FT86 might just give the AE86 a good fight.

TOYOTA…Moving Sideways
To Toyota Salesman : please confirm either UMW will bring this ‘beast’ to our Bolehland hehehehe…..
please umw..bring ft86!! hahaha 8)
oh please not UMW…..they will rip off everything from the car and sell it at a premium price
Haiz…I think the real production unit is nothing near to ft-86 II concept. The headlight totally different, not nice one. Can’t they just produce the same car as concept II? I guess dream and reality are 2 different things after all.
u really want that headlight??..didnt know you so ah beng..LOL
the black concept II headlight is ah beng? Omg, then lots of cars in the market now have ah beng headlight. Zzzz whatever lah, diff ppl diff taste.
Toyota seldom designs cars with passion. Hopefully this is one of the very few.
all the effort. won’t be long before it gets lalafied.
Bah… the car is not going to look as good as the concept (I think the first FT86 concept looks the best)
This is what the car is gonna look like

finally, something exciting from toyota. a car that is stonking to drive and has the legendary toyota reliability (ok, can i dream?? :))
Huh.. what does reliability have to do with this..
not really ‘finally, something exciting’, but more like ‘finally, toyota start to build cars with passion AGAIN’. or at least they’re trying ;) also, never has a soon to be launched toyota ever get so much publicity and hype pre-launch.. good job to their PR team.
