Scion FR-S / Toyota FT-86 / Subaru with Aggressive Body & High Wing! + VIDEO!

[SUB-FT86]

Sounds like any old 4 cylinder engine to me. Not impressed.

Wow I actually read this entire thread...

When I look at this car I see the out come of what would happen if the supra and celica got drunk one night and inbreed, not really a bad thing. I'm on the fence with the wing. I've been in a friends evo 8... or 9 can't remember but the spoiler does give you room to see. I wasn't suprised when I heard the exhaust in the video but I would put an exhaust on this car ASAP. Thanks for the video and pics by the way. I'll be stocking this sight more like I usually do.
***EDIT***
One more thing, Am I the only one that stopped the video at 0:04 and thought that was a intercooler in there and not just a radiator???

(like this but smaller)

I know. Those guys are spy photographers, and it's their profession to make all the scenes look like staged. They do it for living that's why it's flawless.

Wing, It's just like what I suspected, right?
Toyota really save all the lines from the concept( not identical but close).

Yeah, like I-15 from Las Vegas to Utah. Pedal to the metal and no one can do anything about it!

Can anyone bored enough get more screenshots from the videos of the tail lights? Maybe we'll see new angles.

[iff2mastamatt]

Can anyone see what's on the interior of the driver's door?

Nope no intercooler. There will NOT be a turbo on any of the models, Toyota/Scion/Subaru, when this car first comes out. No turbo.

couple of pics of the tail lights. Not much to see.

Without being too rude, with easily over 10 years in the industry, common sense tells me it cannot be no lighter than that. The latest Miata is almost 2600lbs, it's smaller than the FT and does not have the same amount of windows, seats, smaller trunk, roof, b and c pillars, more safety standards and safety concerned areas needing reinforcements because of being a 2+2. The FT86 overall has more metal and glass. Throw on the bodykit and or have the turbo model and your pushing 3000+. That's why I stress that the NA model push at least a non-overrated 205-210hp to the crank, which is kinda farfetched for a non-turbo Subaru engine.

10' Miata @ ~2600lbs

Track, front (in) 58.7

Anyways, I said when the first spy shots were a Subaru and these pics just cement that. Although I could still be wrong, perhaps Subaru and Scion might look identical externally but only having different powerplants, badges and different design and material in the interior.

So Subaru might have the aero and turbo standard. Scion might just have the optional aero package, along with choice of TRD upgrades like i/h/e/springs.

Stupid? That's very nice. Saying they might have different powerplants is stupid. We already know the Scion FR-S is getting the Subaru boxer engine. It's a concept car and changes to the body are made before a final design. Besides with that tricky little swirley camouflage design who could tell.

No spoiler for me at least not that one. It makes look a "hot wheels" toy car. I'll take the one on the NY auto show floor as long as it has some balls under the hood. 158/178 doesn't do the FR-S design justice.

the front reminds me of this!

You know, I was going to post about that exact point... I'm an old hot wheels kid, and I like the look.
