While looking at car mags at the pharmacy yesterday, I saw a red 370Z on the cover of Car & Driver, or Road and Track. I took a closer look and it was a Toyota. Yes, I've heard the rumors about the reintroduction of the Supra. But what caught my attention was that the model depicted on the cover was almost a clone of the 370Z. Is that what will look like for sure or a guess by the car mags? Looks like we have some competition.

Was one of them a cover talking about drifting? The picture is a 370z Nismo and then a few pages in they start talking about the concept cars that will launch in the next 12 months, one of which is the new Toyota 4 cylinder/RWD/2+2 seater. The Toyota looks like a lot of cars from different angles, borrows design cues from others.

Its the FT-86...its supposed to be a remake of the famous AE-86 from the anime Inital D. Its also the only RWD corolla. Supra would be great, but IMO they prob considering the LFA their "supra".

![]() i loved the little AE86 long before i ever got into japanese cartoons the FT-86 is supposed to be a pretty mature design exterior-wise, but the interior is still a bit star trek-y. |

Motor Trend says it may come here as a Celica. Head of Toyota, Mr Toyoda, said that it will be the best drift car, and that it was designed specifically for that purpose.

Looks more Mazda based lines than Z lines though. Interesting that Toyota is wanting to jump back into the game.... remember, competition brings out the best in all who compete .. so this may not be a bad thing.

I had a notch back hachi roku (AE86) at one time. Great little car.
The new one is supposed to be powered by a Subaru boxer engine, they've been calling it a Toyobaru. Toyota owns a stake in Fuji Heavy Industry. I hope they don't use what's in the current STI, I hear they are so sensitive & weak in the piston they blow up if you just look at it wrong... A good friend told me at at a recent track day (of mosly industry guys) 2 with just cat back's went home on flat beds with block damage. Yikes. Last edited by G Fo12ce; 12-04-2009 at 12:48 AM. |
