Toyota FT-86

[knickers]

Yeah I saw that in my Prelude forum....


Jizz in my pants

i like the specs, but dislike the look of that tokyo autosalon one. The wing on the back just looks stupid.

 

[Tom]

Damn I think that looks so awesome!!

And the Race-Tracking system thing is wicked! Would be so cool to be able to buy a unit, do the tracks in your cars, then watch the replays in GT5

 

[pu-11-me]

Its coming in a tubo version.... ITS COMING WITH A TURBO!!!

Lol

 

[bradc]

Looks good I reckon. The rear lights remind me of an RX-7

 

[Tom]

I like this look of it too

 

[ygoslo]

The Toyota FT-86 is regarded as a spiritual successor to the once popular Toyota Celica

Where the hell do they find these morons? :cursing: What part of "FT86" is ambiguous?

And the normal one looks a million times better. And I hope it comes with an N/A inline 4, not a turbo boxer.

 

[yoshimitsu9]

im a hater

looks NOTHING like the original ae86, but does come with the turbo option which isnt so bad.

with it looking nothing like the original i spose it wont push the value of the originals up

 

[ygoslo]

I disagree. There's strong echoes of the 86 in the tail lights (the Japanese "redline" ones) and there's Levin in the line of the bonnet.

 

[Stuii]

I just hope the series 1 gets an inline 4 turbo
that way the packaging space is likely to be there to allow a v6 turbo for s2 models... (crosses fingers)

still one day when holden get ingear and give us ttv6 there won't be many cars that'll be worth considering after that

 

[ygoslo]

V6??? NOOOOOOOO!

Although a stock V6 opens the door for a 6cyl-4cyl conversion, which is awesome because it makes Australians confused. I love SR20 powered Skylines, Laurels, Cefiros & 300ZXs for this reason!

I love it, absolutely gorgeous. With a price tag around 40k locally, that will be right up my alley in a couple of years when its release. Hopefully theres a delay between japan and Aus release so we can personally import for a small window of production dates, keeping Iron Chef etc happy

By the sounds of it, a v6 would probably upset the balance of the finely tuned weight balance but i didnt realise there would be a turbro 4 from factory, i expected it aftermarket though

would be a good time to get some shares in the watanabe factory too....

 

[knickers]

It's going to be a turbo boxer or at least that's what every article has said. A guy who works at Toyota has said in Prelude Australia that it's going to be in the mid to high 40s.

4cyl 2l turbo all the way.

 

[cyber_scriber]

Do like.

About time Toyota rejoined the sports car brigade.

After producing so many fun cars to drive, it's a travesty that the most exciting car in their line today up is a supercharged Aurion.

Given all the press lately about P platers being magnetically attracted to trees and power poles, I don't like their chances behind the wheel of another turbo RWD ...

Revive of the old FT-86 thread:

Twinturbo FT-86 ** correcto Twincharged

W.O.W

 

[unclepaulie]

*twincharged, but still cool. I'd own that model

 

[J-B]

There is still no news on Australian release dates for this. The BRZ is out in america and in japan.

For anyone north of adelaide, apparently Toyota is allowing test drives of the FT86 at their main north dealer. (I'm yet to confirm this though)

 

[fieldy107]

I want one so bad. From everything I read, it should be such a nice car to drive. Obviously its lacking power a little bit, but wheels rates the handling and ride as better then a porche cayman.

I posted this in the wrong thread earlier..

 

[king_panther]

So, I'm seeing news that it's going to be called the GT-86 here?

Plus it's reported to be pushing nearly 150kw from the NA 2L boxer engine?
