This car reminds me of the widebody version of the SW20 chassis MR2, the 2000GT. That was a car that Toyota made but wouldn't sell to us. Screw-that-and-I-hope-you-go-out-of-business-if-you-try-that-shit-again, Toyota. And the horse you rode in on. Toyota, your business is to make cars that we want to buy and then to sell them to us. DO NOT build a widebody version of the FT86 and then only sell a thousand of them only in Japan. DO NOT build a convertible version of the FT86 and only sell a thousand of them only in Japan. If you want to build evolution race models...that's fine. Feel free to go crazy with the carbon fiber and fiberglass. But you should put your effort into getting the model that is going to be on the showroom floor right. Give us a car that will accept 245's and 275's without fender rolling. Give us a car that's already turbocharged. Give us a car that is mod-friendly, but doesn't require that every little part on the car must be upgraded. If you don't get it right, we'll just move on to the next hot thing. |

(Of course, in those cases, I'm usually on rants about philosophy...) Anyway, those 275s are really beasts. I expect they'd only be suitable for track use, because first sign of puddles, they'd pull up their pant legs and skip right over them. With a car this light, I expect hydroplaning would be a MAJOR problem with that size of wheels. I'm all for the factory-turbocharged idea and the easily modable idea. I've actually had the idea for basically this exact car long before I knew anything about this concept. I saw a market for a car that didn't exist and thought to myself, "The first manufacturer who makes this kind of car will strike gold." I found out about it and about shat myself. |

about time.
best news i have seen so far this year.:thumbup: yet, what are the chances a this fine machine will come to the states with a reasonable price tag?:iono: i think of myself as a toyota die hard but cannot find any praise for anything the company has put out since the 80's other than the supra. to sum it up. THANK YOU TOYOTA FOR FINALY GETTING YOUR HEADS OUT OF A****SES AND BUILDING SOMETHING WE WANT TO DRIVE NOT HAVE TO DRIVE.:slap: |
Lose all the CF, body kit, wing, etc.
Keep the turbo, 6speed, LSD. Here's a blank check Toyota! |
I actually like the front, rear, and side paneling/fascias, and CF hood (tho w/o those fins)
take a look again: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/attac...4&d=1263580051 http://www.lincah.com/wp-content/upl...ew-588x391.jpg |
Dear god, this concept is perfection! I like everything on it! On the most cars i can find something disturbing, either the back, the front, the side, the interieur... but its perfect from any angle :wub:
I thought the normal ft86 is fantastic, but thats insane :thumbup: |
Wow I am so excited about this car! Hope this hasn't been posted yet but I found more clips of this car on youtube. I can't get enough!
