Tuning Toyota FT-86

Despite the fact that the concept car, Toyota FT-86, which was introduced in October last year, still far from production, the model underwent its first operational development of the Toyota engineers and their partners from the firm GAZOO, "who have eaten more than one dog" to establish racing cars.

While Toyota and GAZOO not disclose the technical parameters of their joint project, but reporters found out that under the hood of the model is the upgraded 2-liter turbocharged engine company Subaru. Its capacity can exceed 300 hp, which will allow concept, if it goes into mass production, to compete with many European sports car.

Toyota Ft-86 Sports Car

Toyota isn't exactly well known for making sexy motors. Green cars, yes. Nice little city runarounds, yes. But über-hot cars that make your heart pound? That's a definite no! Well, this may all be set to change with the introduction of the FT-86 concept car at this month's Toyko Motor Show – a car that looks like it could give Nissan's GT-R and 370Z coupé a run for their money.

Down at Toyota HQ, the clever designers – who’ve brought us the likes of the iQ and the new Prius – have been developing a vehicle that ticks all of the right sports car boxes – the result being the slicker-than-slick FT-86.

When designing the sports car, Toyota’s designers are claimed to have taken into consideration all that a classic sports car should be, so FT-86 comes with features such as a low centre of gravity, lightweight construction and compact dimensions.

Under the five-seater's hood there’s a 2.0-litre boxer engine that’s claimed to be "strong on both performance and environmental quality" – though cheeky Toyota hasn't given us any performance stats so we can’t make up our own minds about whether it really delivers on both fronts.
