Toyota's FT-86 concept
FT-86 Concept will debut at the Tokyo motor show later this month
Toyota and Subaru have been collaborating for some time on a jointly developed sport coupe model. Now, here's a preview of the FT-86 Concept, which is set to debut at the Tokyo motor show later this month.
The sport coupe's dimensions are fairly compact, with a length of 4,160mm and a height of 1,260mm (width and wheelbase are 1,760mm and 2,570mm respectively). The FT-86 was created by Toyota's Europe Design Development and it's objective was to fashion a car with a "functional utility" design theme.
Uncharacteristic for the times, this concept does not feature any new technology of the hybrid or electric kind. The goal for both Japanese automakers was to create a sports model that is simple, fun-to-drive and fuel efficient. The FT-86 will feature Subaru's 2.0-liter Boxer petrol engine, which develops only 160bhp. At the same time, there are rumours that it may be dialed up to about 200bhp.
The FT-86 comes with a 6-speed manual transmission and ADVICS brakes.
