Looks like the production version stayed pretty close to the last concept version. I hope the specs turn out well.

Yeah. I hope they stayed true to the original vision of a light modestly powered RWD sport coupe. The pictures look good. If it ever actually gets into production and the specs check out, then I'll likely get one for a DD.

I want that mouth on my Z. I wonder if UAM can make it?

A few updates:
First Drive Review of Toyota FT-86 / Scion FR-S Mule! [Car magazine] - Scion FR-S Forum | Subaru BRZ Forum | Toyota FT-86 Forum | ft86club

Key points
-200HP/170TQ
-About 2700lbs
-7 sec 0-60mph
-No turbo

Quote:

Turbocharging the flat-four would be straightforward (after all, that’s what Subaru does with the Impreza), but chief engineer Tetsuya Tada told us that he ‘doesn’t like turbos’ and has ‘decided to reject the numeric power war’. He also said that an R version of the FT-86 was coming with less weight, Brembo brakes (our test car’s stoppers were from Hitachi), a rollcage, a larger rear wing, no rear seats and, yes, a mechanical LSD but no more power.

Pricing seems to be unknown still some are saying 20k and others are saying 25k starting price.

A new brochure was revealed also: Breaking: standard Scion FR-S / Toyota FT-86 model and aero kits revealed - Scion FR-S Forum | Subaru BRZ Forum | Toyota FT-86 Forum | ft86club

Possible interior shot:

Get a Miata and call it a day

Skeeterbop · 10-30-2011, 12:18 AM

If the interior ends up looking even close to that, I would have to pass.

MC · 10-30-2011, 12:20 AM

the red one in the brochure needs a lip spoiler or a wing badly... it looks way too flat from the roofline back and the rear stops to abruptly compared to the pointed angular front

Skeeterbop · 10-30-2011, 12:50 AM

I will definitely have to check it out once released though. Might make a good car to use as a DD instead of the Z (would still keep the Z though).

MC · 10-30-2011, 12:55 AM

is the subaru version supposed to have more HP?

azn370z · 10-30-2011, 01:00 AM

I read that the subaru is supposed to be the same as the Toyota but different wheels but has a target price of $28k, 200 hp, 28 mpg, 2900 lbs. Wtf?

Skeeterbop · 10-30-2011, 01:01 AM

Only if the sales figures warrant making a hot version do I see there being any significant variance in power between the two. I think at first the main differences will be cosmetic. If it sells like hot cakes I could see an STi version come out. Maybe use the WRX setup? That would give you roughly 65hp more which would make for a very fun rwd car.

Jordo! · 10-30-2011, 01:02 AM

I like it a lot... just needs more power...

Argh, really want one of these. Hope I can afford a second car...
