4agze, you need to post the cover you mentioned above.


also, I added the 2010 TAS Program featuring the G Sports FT-86 prominently on the cover to the first post.

Great post Bo! Amazing cover!

I'm a little skeptical of the Automobile magazine article on the FT-86. The first paragraph says:

"At the spavined Tokyo show last fall, Toyota unveiled its FT-86 concept, a curious closed sports car with a water-cooled, flat-four engine sitting ahead of the front axel but driving the rear wheels."

Everything we've been told by toyota so far is that the engine would be placed as low and as far back in the engine bay as possible. This article is claiming the engine is in front of the axel like current imprezas. The only reason for this placement would be to accomodate the symetrical awd system in the subie variant. Unless Automobile magazine is privy to some new info that we haven't heard yet I'm calling BS on this article.

From Sun-A’s website, a brief listing of whats on the inside in the best engrish you’ve ever seen:

AE86 Restoration quarter-century modifications, Come, come early FT-86 - Air dry charismatic new tuners Love Story starts now 13 saw their name FT-86 tuner in the future, Dorikin Muken of Keiichi Tsuchiya, the斬Ru Hibino!, ALL NEW!渾身next generation Subaru Boxer 4 , Validation!
