Toyota FT-86 coupe

The new Toyota Subaru joint-venture sports coupe is spied out testing

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. And these spy shots prove the real thing can’t be far away, as under the disguise lies what appears to be a pretty substantial car with proportions close to those of the FT-86.

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.

While the 2-litre Impreza musters up 148bhp, the Toyota/Subaru coupe is set to offer upwards of 200bhp, transferred to the rear by a six-speed manual gearbox. That should mean performance that closely rivals its Volkswagen Scirocco foe – 0-62mph in 7.2sec and a 146mph top speed – 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. We look forward to finding out. The location of these spy shots - the Nürburgring - has to be a good sign.

Anyways any idea how many genuine AE86 chassis cars are there in SL? Have seen pics of a hatch, other than that?

No, but there are two different cars of the same model year right? AE86 and AE85? Most are AE85, I guess he meant that

That car really is pretty neat, and the guy does seem to love it too.... I went to look at it myself when it was on sale, by the time i was ready to talk prices with them it had already been sold. Thats when i decided to go down the old brit route.

Peri, If your colleague ever wants to get rid of it, give me a heads up please.

Some are confused here..Both AE 85 and AE 86 came only as coupe or hatchback versions.Two pax Doors.only few trim and engine differences changed them.
