Last week saw the unveil of Toyota’s FT-86 concept, a preview of the Toyota/Subaru joint-venture coupe that’s just around the corner.
The concept itself is very promising, not looking too far off production reality while also offering up pretty striking looks, inside and out..
When it hits the roads, it’s set to mate a Subaru Impreza-sourced 2-litre flat-four boxer engine to a rear-wheel drive chassis, modified from the all-wheel-drive Subaru Legacy. That should mean performance that closely rivals its Volkswagen Scirocco foe – 0-100km in 7.2sec – as the pair share near identical dimensions.
The Japanese car should trump the VW with its rear-drive dynamics, though, and be more of a drivers’ car. pity about the looks.
