Toyota FT-86 Thread.

[ERA]

ERA always making cars that are too low to be possible

dont worry, its a supra. It wont be going anywhere anytime soon, so you needn't worry about whether its stance is drivable or not.

but yeah, i like the way both ft-86s look. minus the wing. I think they have somethin good here.

 

[Poodles]

The wing bugs me and the fact it looks like it doesn't have a rear bumper (GMC acadia is liek this too, looks goofy)

On display at the Toyota stand at this year's Tokyo Auto Salon will be the Toyota FT-86 G's Sports, which boasts an even sharper exterior and a world-first "GPS-track day" unit co-developed with the creators of the Gran Turismo franchise and automotive technology giant Denso. So what's so special about the unit, you ask? From what we've learned, you will be able to drive your real FT-86 around a real track -- the Nurburgring, for example -- and then remove the memory card from your car, plug it into your PS3 unit and either "watch" your lap virtually or race against yourself, as your real car appears as the "ghost car" that you battle against.

!!!!

 

[Kangae]

I think basically I'll sell everything I own to buy one of these.:aigo:

But in all seriousness, I really do want one.

 

[SupraOfDoom]

Yeah I'd consider saving every cent as well.

ij for the win

if the supra's rockin don't come knockin....

 

[Sil]

I would buy one, the market needs affordable rwd cars agian. Just like the good old days of the late 90's. Supras, RX7's, 300zx, 240 sx. What is available now for the average guy, the 370Z, the lame RX8 and a RWD Hyundai Genisis???. Do they have a price range for the FT86 yet?

If only there was another affordable RWD car that had been on the market that whole time, and still is....
Oh wait, the Ford Mustang.

This new FT86 looks sweet, but with the new Coyote powered 5.0 coming out, and Toyota's recent complacency, I know where my pennies are getting saved for after college.

 

[SupraOfDoom]

Toyota's FT-86 will more then likely wreck the Mustang on road courses with ease though. Mustang is just too damn heavy.

 

[Dirgle]

It's a hard decision for me, the Subi engine that comes in the FT-86 is a serious, serious turn off. I love everything else, but the engine all but kills it for me. I wouldn't mind a new 5.0 Mustang if it wasn't for that archaic suspension. Yeah Ford said there going to give it IRS in coming years but it still has that damn McPherson front suspension.

P.S. Before somebody tries to argue the merits of that ridiculous sounding flat four, know it's a wast of time. I know all the pro's and con's and I simply don't like that motor, plain and simple.

 

[IJ.]

There was talk of a world platform based on the Aussie Falcon's suspension, NO McDoodle Strut crap here

This right here, if it come to fruition will make it a serious contender for my next toy.

 

[Enraged]

I would buy one of these.

They will have to price it below the Genesis Coupe, especially if its non turbo.

i agree not a subaru fan. thats the only turn off for me

I opened a new saving account last month, the lady asked me what the title/name should be for the account I wrote FT-86 on the line.

I love everything about this car, styling is great, platform is great, engine I love the flat 4, even though it is a concept right now and it might be watered down on release if released. If I don't hear a confirmed release date buy end of this year I'm buying a Hyundai genesis.

 

[SupraOfDoom]

Yeah dude that Genesis is yummy.

I agree, and around $27,000 base price ($20,000 for a race-ready version)

The instant it's released some company will end up swapping the STI motor into it and making a kit to do it I bet...

or 2jz :naughty:

humm whats next a new supra hummmmm

i bet it will have turbo option if not aftermaket will be all over it


sad part is the inside is ummm ugly as fuck

Clit shifter :3d_frown:. Maybe Toyota will come out with the turbo half a year later lol

Awesome!

I like it. I would like see what issues they have out of the first productions runs the car before I say I want one though.

I think basically I'll sell everything I own to buy one of these.:aigo:

But in all seriousness, I really do want one.

Yeah I'm all over this car, but I'm gonna wait for the 2013 model.

Actually, the 5.0l does sound very appealing to me, but 4.6l Mustangs are like, what, $31k? The 5.0l might cost more.

I went on youtube looking for the Gran Turismo 5 trailer of the red ft-86 and came across this: (Now I know where ERA got it from. Gives you an idea of what it'll sound like)

I'm hoping that they'll make a few changes to the concept, like they always do.

 

[SupraOfDoom]

I like the gauges. Not as nice as the LFA but I'll live. Exactly how good is the WRX motor? Not really a big WRX fanatic or anything so I don't know.

High rev's? That's kind of what I would look for out of a car like this.
