Photos: Toyota FT-86 at the 2010 Paris Motor Show (including undercarriage photos)
I was on hand last week at the 2010 Paris Motor Show and was able to capture some more undercarriage photos of the car. This is my second occassion seeing the FT-86 concept coupe in person and it was no less exciting or attractive this time. There simply were no other cars at the motor show which matched the FT-86's size, sporty nature, and potential as a serious sports coupe in its intended price range. Enjoy the photos.

225/40/R19 mmmm.... Guess we officially know the wheel size now? And it seems Bridgestone has a fair chunk of the market for the factory size on the floor there.

So do we know for sure that that thing with the yellow tape/sticker on it sticking down underneath the engine is the oil filter, still does not make any sense to me.

While it's just a concept and we can't expect it to be mechanically accurate, this mockup is either fwd, or it employs an LFA style, stacked exhaust and drive shaft (well torque tube in the case of the lfa..but you get the idea). Be that the case, I must say, fucking awesome.
Graphical reference in case i left you confused. |

FU!@# 19inch rims...
I was hoping for 17's...and the brakes don't seem like it will fit anything smaller than 18's if the rims in the pics are 19's |

The thing with the Jack sticker looks like the diff, you can see the rear diffuser is there
The one on the front... I dunno looks like bottom of the sump or a mocked up jacking point for front But if that's the filter.. Then damn that's good and easy to change

Hmmm. All I saw at first was the potential lay to the right in the first pic.

Looks good, I'm still excited for this car to come out. I wonder if it did come out with 19 inch rims, what would be the tire options lol

It is RWD, driveshafts are visible behind the stabiliser bar in the back. And I think the last rear undershot even shows the longnitudal driveshaft a little and it is over the exhaust system, I hope this doesn't narrow down the drivers space too much. The thing that I wonder the most is that while it seems like a multilink rear suspension, the stabiliser bar supports are on the assumed suspension arms and would hence move along with them?? Maeby you should have asked them to jack the car up a little so that you could have gotten better pics |

There should be smaller dimension, too.
I live in area where winter tires are a requirement and I checked if winter tires 225/40/19 are available. Well they're not At least where I checked. So if they want to sell this car in snowy areas, they'll have to make them smaller, too. |

Im pretty excited about the removable undertray alongside the undercarriage. This thing must channel some serious air.
I hope the production model comes with it and not up the price because of the materials.
