The compact sized coupe measures that 4,160mm long, 1,760mm wide and 1,260mm tall, with a 2,570mm wheelbase, is being co-developed with Subaru that will also present its own variant of the 2+2 seater sports model.
As a reminder of Subaru’s involvement in the project, the near production-ready FT-86 prototype uses a 2.0-liter four-cylinder boxer engine from the Impreza while power is sent to the rear-wheels through a six-speed manual gearbox. The demo rides was fitted with 19-inch wheels with 225/40R19 tyres.
According to Toyota, the FT-86 is scheduled to be launched into the market towards the end of 2011 with Subaru’s variant to follow later on.
