    Finally - Toyota Shows The Production Version FT-86

    After two years and countless number of concepts, Toyota will show off the production version of the FT-86 sports car. Toyota's UK office released pictures and some tidbits about the vehicle. In Europe, the coupe will be called GT 86.

    Here's the specs of the GT 86:

    • 2.0L boxer with D4-S injection (direct and port injected)
    • 197 hp @ 7,000 rpm and 151 lb-ft (205 Nm) @6,600 rpm
    • 6-speed manual or automatic transmissions
    • 17-inch wheel/tire package standard
    • 4,240mm (167 in.) long, 1285mm (50.6 in.) high, 2,570mm (101 in.) wide
    • 53:47 front-to-rear weight distribution
    • 475mm (18.7 in.) center of gravity

    Inside the GT 86 is a three-gauge cluster with a larger tachometer, carbon fiber styled trim, an all black roof, red stitching, aluminum pedals, and “aviation-style” switches.

    The GT 86 will go on sale in Europe next June.

    We'll learn more about the Toyota GT 86 or FT-86 next week at Tokyo Motor Show.

    Too bad there are unnecessarily fussy details inside and out. What is the need for all the small quarter windows that are showing up? Interesting roof detail--will that preclude a sunroof? Subaru will probably have the better looking version.

    I think the Subaru will be the better looking fraternal twin in this family.

    Is there no way to style a modern coupe so that it has a longer shelf life? I see this as too trendy to ever become a classic.

    Wow... 101" wide... that'll trump the XTS by far. Toyota wins! ;)

    :lol:

    I think that's a mistranslation of "wheelbase."

    The interior of the BRZ/GT86 reminds me very faintly of the Porsche 924 and 944 interiors.

    In fact, there's a peculiar 924/944 vibe to the BRZ/GT in general.

    I'm not going to lie, I sort of have the hots for the BRZ. However, I would almost bet that my budget is going to agree more with the Scioyota Fries86 (or whatever the hell Toyota will call it in the US market).

      Yes, I know you point out everything the president does.  Oh wow, I'm really worried about people importing vehicles that aren't even getting daily driven. I'm more worried about people like you and myself, if we had Japanese vehicles, who would be paying the additional costs. I couldn't care less about the 1% of the 1% of the 1% of vehicles on the road having to pay higher prices for exotic parts for their toy vehicles. If anything those are the people who should be paying more for parts.

      I figured as much but also wanted to point out that it is worse than what we had before and clearly will increase costs for Americans, not decrease anything. People who imported Skylines, KEI trucks and Vans, etc. are going to see much higher costs to get parts out of Japan now and in many cases, we will see reduced auto variety here due to the tariffs imho.

      I was simply pointing out that it was outdated already.

      Japan and Korea have clearly stated that all Auto's EV, Hybrid, and ICE will now be shipped direct to Canada rather than into the US and trucked up north. As such, Canada is having a boom in port building to handle the increase in direct shipments to Canada.  Another loss for the US and as such, Canada will get additional EVs from Kia and Ioniq's from Hyundai that we will now not get or have built here.  Total destruction of America by Idiot47 who is clueless about business, growth, jobs, etc. It is too late to pull out of the Global Economy and go back to the 1950's and 60's that he calls the golden years and will redo again here in the US.  We have and always will be great, but sadly we are on decline as a country with the embarrassment of the current administration and their lack of understanding business due to lemmings running things rather than people with intelligence. Yes, the incompetence of Idiot47 and his lemmings thinks 15% tariff is better than the original 10% tariff. True Morons that have no clue about business or trade deals. This makes it even worse as during the current time to allow for deals, the Tariff was 10%, but now the real facts come out as we know see that the average tariff on items from Japan was between 2 to 3 %.

      Polestar has some great EVs, Sadly, the lack of being able to see the future due to stuck in the past by the Boomer idiots is going to cost the USA in a big way. This does not bode well for America as 173 farmers have declared bankruptcy this year, 63% increase over last year and a loss to the financial sector of over 563 Billion dollars and Idiot47 could care less.
