FT-86 Concept
Great to own and fun-to-drive: those are the guiding principles behind a new Toyota sports car concept that will break cover for the first time at the Tokyo motor show later this month.
The five-seat FT-86 (that’s hachi roku in Japanese) goes back to the fundamental qualities of the classic sports car with its rear-wheel drive configuration, compact dimensions, low centre of gravity and lightweight construction. Under the bonnet there is a 2.0-litre boxer engine that is strong on both performance and environmental quality.
The show car’s bodywork is finished in Flash Red, an eye-catching shade that contains a hint of blue. Inside, the cabin design further expresses the car’s classic sporting qualities with many of the structural elements left uncovered.
FT-86 Concept Dimensions
Length (mm) 4,160
Width (mm) 1,760
Height (mm) 1,260
Wheelbase (mm) 2,570
The 41st Tokyo motor show will run from 24 October to 4 November at the Makuhari Messe.
