Tokyo Show 2009 – Toyota FT-86 Concept

Most development work underway on the Toyota FT-86 is being done by Subaru engineers. After all, Toyota chief Akio Toyoda points to the four-cylinder boxer engine, allowing “racecar-like handling,” even though it’s on Subie’s first rear-drive platform in recent memory.

The FT-86 has some Celica/Supra in its sheetmetal, especially the nose and hood. The fast roofline and short rear overhang hints that the rear seats — the concept features 2+2 racing buckets — are useful for show and for toddlers at best. A distinctive front fender crease picks up from the rear of the wheel opening and extends up into the hood, as if to call attention to the diminutive sport coupe’s dash-to-axle ratio.
