Toyota FT-86

[zoiks]

Looks like a great design that is very un-Toyota like. Probably because it was designed in France. But it looks sleek and very sophisticated inside. Not many details provided however by Toyota since its a concept. Predicted to be produced in 2011 in the neighborhood price of $20k+ (according to autoblog) though its likely that the car will be heavily modified by time of its release.

Looks a lot like a Hyundai Genesis Coupe and some like a Nissan 370z....

Not terribly original, but nice none the less.

That's been Toyota's concept sports car design language since 2005, it's clearly taken all its design cue from the Lexus LF-A concepts.

The thing about Toyotas of late is they all stick to Toyotas design language, not to the point Audi does, but you can cleary tell, all Toyotas are from the Toyota design language and you'll never confuse them with another automaker's car.

Now if only Honda would jump on the bandwagon and give us a coupe based on the S2000 platform with a turbo-four

Honda would likely give you an FWD sedan and call it an S2000.

I wonder how light it'll be, from all the info that i've seen on the car it looks like the engine will be naturally aspirated. If it'll be as light as a miata then it should be a fun little car.

attn honda: this is how you do a 'futuristic' design without it looking like complete ass. though the interior is still awful.

reminds me of an alfa.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Alfas are beautiful machines. The interior is definitely more of a design experiment in that car, but Alfas are nicely detailed inside and out.

What's wrong with this?

no no no- the OUTSIDE reminds me an alfa. i guess it's mostly the 'angry eyes' at the front.

by and large, european cars >>>>>>>>>>> japanese cars when it comes to interiors.

If this comes out anywhere near the $20k theyre saying, it's going to be a dorifto ricer's wet dream.

Put some power in it and call it a Supra. It'll sell.

I like the color until I read the inspiration for it...

Strange, even for the Japanese
