First Spy Pics of Scion FR-S / Toyota FT-86 Production Test Mule! (Updated 5/17)
 

We bring you the first photosof the latest Scion FR-S / Toyota FT-86 production test mule! It compares most closely to the FT-86 II Concept car rather than the recently revealed Scion FR-S.

What’s curious is that it wears 17″ Subaru/Enkei wheels.

I think, that's not a Toyota/SCION ver... I think/might be Subie ver... I'll double check

That... "car warp" freaking is an eyesore. Jesus.

Oh Hachi, it's better compare w MkII ver instead of MkIII.

I think it's production version of Mk2. Look at the rear wing. I notice that the head and taillight look a bit bland when they translate into production car.

Nice

these light are same waht we saw some magazine render.
They made that car too bland now :/

Awesome!! Thanks Hachiroku. :thumbsup:

You don't like the nightclub wallpaper they used for the body? lol

it doesn't have the bold look it did in the concept :( maybe it is the subie version

Production car are always "neutered" from the concept/prototypes shown off. Concepts are just that, a concept. Used to gain interest in the car, show off what they can do...etc. Much of that won't be put into production due to cost and not being feasible on a budget car.

Those look like subie (forester sti) wheels.

Too early to judge. The jewel is inside the camo.

Edit: at least, they get rid of LED and front vents from mark 2.

Those are certainly Subaru wheels, I have a set on my forester. The spoiler and the door handles also have a Subaru look to them.

Stu

Some of you were really expecting too much after seeing Five Axis' custom FR-S. But this is looking good to me. My only complaint so far is aimed at those stupid portals next to the mirrors. I think those belong on minivans. I really dislike seeing them on cars. Oh well. It can't be helped at this point.

Yes, you're correct. They're Subaru/Enkei 17 w 215/40/17. Along w brakes, few stuff too.

Those wheels are a really high offset for a RWD car. Although it looks like there's a lot of space between them and the edge of the fender. Could they not find some wheels that actually fit on the car for the test mule?

They have been using that wheel/tire spec since first test run at mule

I'd like to see it next to the first concept.

Looks like the pics were taken in Dossenheim, Germany?

Nooooooo!!!!!!!! This looks to simple and plain. I have a bad feeling about the real thing.

this is definitely the FT II in production version the overall body design (none of the big frs wheel arches) mirrors it and this appears to be taken in Europe. so it looks like the scion and Toyota versions will indeed look different.

I also noticed that the diffuser is still there and that the LED strip is now in the headlamp housing. didn't think those things would make it into the production version. I guess that means the US has a good chance of keeping it in the scion ver.

looks good!

FWIW, the wheels are Subaru 17" wheels.

Have there been any indications that Toyota and Scion versions will look different? Any indications that the FR-S concept will look that way at production?

If it is indeed a Subaru version at least it is safe to say it looks better than this one:

I'll take the high wheel arcs of the FR-S anyday. If they don't come with them in production, just might have to get someone to make them...lol

They look similar to a 370z side mirror. Wonder if this test mule has bad blind spots, hence needing the larger mirror.

Looks like I'll be getting the 2012 gen coupe. I hope the scion version looks better.

This shit is too ugly.
I'm out.
2012 Camaro SS 45th Anni, i'm placing my deposit next week.

This will be my first car that is not a Toyota in 15 years.

Oh. Well it's particularly apparent in the picture above.

I did a very quick-n-cheap overall height estimate.

Since they're Subie 17" wheels, that means their overall diameter is ~18" from lip-to-lip. I cut them out and stacked them up.

18*3=54

Since the roof is about 1/4 wheel diameter lower than 54"

54-[18/4]=49.5" Tall

Under 50"....YES!!! :party0030:

Might I recommend that you should actually wait until the production version is released to decide if you like it or not instead of basing your irrational decision off of a concept/prototype/test mule. Good grief, the car won't be out until next year and people are already deciding they don't want it. If you don't want it ok. But at least wait for the real thing to be released before complaining.

So it seems the dimensions might not be too far off these:

FT86:
Length: 163.78 inches / Width: 69.29 inches / Height: 48.19 inches / Wheelbase: 101.18 inches

Nice find. Overall the design looks pretty "Toyota". Here's hoping the Scion design is a less diluted version of the concept.

im definitely thinking thats the subie, it looks nice, toned down in the best of ways. maybe some of the features are hidden in the wrap. also, i cant help but notice that from straight on the front... it looks like an s2000

I was debating whether or not to buy the car if it looked likenthe concept, mainly Because it's a scion and has 200hp. Now that they made it ugly, what does this car have going for it? I'm out

Production version wont be far off from this which means it will still be ugly. But like i said if this is the subie version i will wait to see how the scion version looks.

:suicide:

:sigh: retard
