This thing just begs to be made into a GT300 car.

WTF...........wait, does that thing have in a roll cage and racing seats?
|
I like it without the wing, also think it would look better too with hood painted, all but the lil fins on the vents. think that would look sick

Jizzed in my pants.

To tell you the truth, don't care for the exterior mods. I just want that turbo engine.

The G sports concept
Here is the Edmunds article. I hope it's not a repost. The turbo concept
Toyota FT-86 G Sports Concept: Photos, GT5 Trailer from 2010 Tokyo Auto Salon By Erin Riches | January 15, 2010 http://blogs.insideline.com/straight...mb-717x477.jpg Of all the cars at the 2010 Tokyo Auto Salon (Japan's equivalent of the SEMA show), the Toyota FT-86 G Sports is surely getting the most attention. It's just another FT-86 concept, but this time it's turbocharged. Plus, it just looks cool with its white paint, carbon fiber hood and red detailing. http://blogs.insideline.com/straight...mb-300x199.jpg This won't be the last you see of the FT-86 G Sports, either, as Toyota has a co-branding arrangement with Sony, which conveniently released a trailer of the car in Gran Turismo 5 last night. We know you're sick of hearing about terminally delayed GT5, but you're going to want to watch the animated FT-86 sliding around the track nonetheless. That video is after the jump, along with more photos. Specifications on the Toyota FT-86 G Sports are vague, but the show cars isn't a real car in the driving sense anyway. Here's what we know: It has a turbocharged version of the 2.0-liter boxer-4 engine and a six-speed manual gearbox driving the rear wheels. We don't know the specification on the turbocharger of uncertain specification (nor the intercooler visible through the front fascia), but it should give the little car a shot at getting out of the hole with its enormous tires -- Bridgestone Potenza RE050s, size 245/40R19 in front and 275/35R19 in back. And if you could see into the cockpit, you'd spot Recaro seats for the driver and front passenger.

I for one, think the front of the G-sport looks much inferior to the concept... or (as is my current favorite) the Option rendering. The round "cup-edge" looking front & slab wheel-well sides of the g-sport: http://img7.imageshack.us/img7/9704/attachmentfsy.jpg the "FT-HS style", curvy front of the concept: http://img37.imageshack.us/img37/9906/toyota1g.jpg the lean, mean look of the Option render: http://img12.imageshack.us/img12/692...tioncoverr.jpg |
I don't like it. I mean it has some cool elements here and there, but over all it really looks like nothing special. In fact, it doesn't even look like a Toyota anymore. If it was 1) debadged, and 2) I didn't know what it was in the first place... I'd be asking, "Why is Nissan making another rwd coupe?" It's mainly from the front and sides that it resembles the love child of a GTR and a 350Z.
I like the artwork in that magazine (above post). Now that's what I'm walking about. |
