A little more info on it here: > **[Toyota FT-86 Concept: Behold, The New AE86](https://jalopnik.com/toyota-ft-86-concept-behold-the-new-ae86-5375233)** > > A joint Toyota/Subaru sports car project has been in the works for what feels like forever. Now, finally, here's the first look, a heavily production-based concept called the Toyota FT-86 set to debut this month at the Tokyo Motor Show. > The Toyota FT-86 concept is the fruit of cooperation between Toyota Motor Company and Subaru, and as such will wear a common chassis and some degree of engine commonality, at the least a 2.0 liter, four cylinder boxer engine dubbed the “C-45 Boxer” and making between 200 and 250 HP will power the rear wheels through a manual six speed transmission, and get this — no hybrid system. Saints be praised. > Perhaps most telling are the car’s overall dimensions. At 163.7 inches long, 69.3 inches, a wheelbase of 101.2 inches, and 49.6 inches high, it’s thankfully compact, smaller in length, width and height than the Nissan 370Z, and slightly longer in wheelbase. ---

If the RWD compact coupe does well, you could very well see Toyota start development on a new supra. But they aren’t going to do that if the market for sports cars dries up with all this fuel and economy (read tree-hugging environmental loving hippies) issues. Really, the supra is never coming back. ---

the supra will come back at some point, the name will just grow as an icon, but when it does come back it won’t be as cool. ---

Great, until you’re doing 150mph down the highway with a stuck accelerator. ---

2-250 horsepower, you think they could’ve atleast gotten 300 out of it. Nice looking car, I hope toyota doesn’t price it too high. ---

they could have gotten 600hp out of it, that’s not their goal for numerous reasons. ---

Instead of making a new thread…Delayed til 2013 so they can see how the CR-Z does. They’ll probably turn it into a damn hybrid :KE [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/toyota-ft-86-subaru-brz-scion-fr-s-now-turbo/79992.md?page=1) [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/toyota-ft-86-subaru-brz-scion-fr-s-now-turbo/79992.md?page=3)
