Post Toyota Reconfirms Production 2012 FR-S / FT-86 Boxer Engine, 6MT, 6AT, LSD

Highlights:
  • 2.0L naturally aspirated flat 4-cylinder Boxer engine
  • D-4S direct injection w/ port injection technology
  • 6 speed manual and 6 speed automatic transmission (with paddle shifters) options
  • Limited slip differential

via Toyota EU:
Quote:
The 2.0-liter naturally-aspirated engine is the result of a joint development between Subaru and Toyota, bringing together their technical know-how and passion for sports cars. Subaru brings its newly developed horizontally opposed boxer engine while Toyota adds its D-4S technology (direct injection combined with port injection). This results in increased horsepower and torque without sacrificing fuel consumption and environmental performance.

The flat-four engine will be mated to either a six-speed manual or a six-speed automatic transmission. The manual will offer quick and precise shifts with a short-throw, while the automatic transmission will feature sporty shifts controlled by steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifts. Power will be distributed effectively to the rear wheels through a limited-slip differential.

Based on an entirely new front-engined and rear-wheel drive platform the production model will offer the driver confident stability and manoeuvrability, while still being quick and nimble into and out of any corner.

The FT-86 final production model will be realised around the idea of unique balance thanks to its compact dimensions, light weight design and low centre of gravity ensuring the best possible power-to-weight ratio and resulting in an intrinsic joy of driving.

Sounds like a rap song in the making:
Gonna cruise in my FR-S,
Powered by Boxer D-4S,
Playing on my 3DS,
Oh yes, yes, hell yes.

Sorry, been up for too many hours

Is that a real picture or a rendering? If a real picture the quality is horrendous.

"best possible power-to-weight ratio". The lighter the better. I wouldn't mind if the interior is like a Lotus Elise. It should also come with a pack of Slim Fast for those that needs it.

I'd expect bucket seats to be standard on a car like this.


This is great news for our fans over in Europe....would LOVE to see Scion reconfirm these facts (mainly LSD) for the U.S. market.
