Here are some photos that do the FT-86 better justice. I actually think it looks better than the Z and if it resembles anything it would be a GTR but smaller obviously. I like how it doesn't so much flaunt "hey look at me I'm fast!!" but instead it’s a bit understated. If it ends up driving as good as it looks this might be my next ride. It sounds like there will be a 4cyl NA entry level model with 150+hp that will start at ~ 23k and a Turbo 4 or NA 6cyl with 250+hp that will start at around 27-28k+. That doesn’t sound like a lot of power but at the right weight it should be more than adequate. It might not end up being all that quick but test track numbers are only part of the equation. Look at the Mazda Miata, slow as balls but really fun to drive.
