One of the cars generating a lot of press is the Toyota FT86, in this particular case tuned by G’s. Upon closer inspection it appears the FT86 is indeed sporting a front mount intercooler, ending debates over whether or not the car will be an N/A only special. A brief conversation with one of Toyota’s engineers revealed some interesting information.

The G’s FT86 is indeed a turbocharged boxer 4, mated to a 6 speed Toyota gearbox. Further detailing includes a host of carbon fiber parts, RE11 Bridgestone rubber and assorted aero parts.


G’s and Toyota have been kind enough to offer me a closer look at the car so a feature is to follow but for now, let your minds wander over the huge proposition this car represents to the future of the aftermarket tuning industry. Adam Zillin
