2.0L about 200hp weight less than 3000lb to compete with 3.7L 322hp 3300lb-ish? it would be better for you to make a custom order from Toyota.

There is something called the aftermarket for people like you. Leave my affordable back to basics sportscar alone. Toyota will provide you with a great low 20k platform for you to build upon.

Seriously, are you just randomly saying ****? I think you should stop being influenced by Initial-D.
FT-86 and the Z are in different leagues. If Toyota wants to compete with VQ engine powered car, they need something more serious than Boxer. Not saying boxer is not good, but VQ series is in the class of its own.

Nagaya said the Geneva car was “a fair indication” of how the final production model could look when it arrives at the Tokyo show in December. “You could say it’s around 50 per cent there,” he said, “although that could be as high as 70 per cent.”

Mr. Nagaya, I get the changes. However, that doesn't explain the rear. Put back the original tail end from concept 1, rework the front fenders (more like concept 1, and get rid of those ugly vents) and IMHO, that'd be perfect thanks.

^That's exactly what I didn't like about the FT-86 II! The back is way too busy, the side vents look like Nopi/Walmart/Autozone garbage, lose the squared off the fenders and bring it down a tad!

Not going to happen! 332hp, 3.7L V6, 30K-39K is completely off from where Toyota wants to mark the FT86!

:word:

yeah seriously why is there this sudden expectation that this car needs to be a new supra when toyota has repeatedly stated that this is not? if you want a new supra keep waiting and hoping, this is not it.

:suicide:Dude its just me ranting on about wat i personally want.. Just like u and just about everyone else on here does... And saying random ****... There is some seriously more random **** being said elsewhere on this forum.... But i dont mean to be adding to it with **** like this.... I certainly didnt mean high 30k mark... But with not to much aftermarket modifications being able to compete with the 370z anyway..

Its F**ken hard to talk prices anyway seeings most talk in US $$$
Ill be happy/hoping its in the $45-$55k AUS! range here wateva that works out to in US with tax etc.. I 'think' the 370z here are from $58-$68k AUS $$$ price range over here....

RRnold 03-09-2011 02:38 PM

then why don't you just get a 370z mate! :happy0180:

yes but some rants are actually within the realm of possibility within the idea of this concept. a 30k usd car with 300 hp is not what this concept is. ever since 2009 they have been saying they are aiming for 20k usd, affordable, 2 liters, etc etc.

c0rbin 03-09-2011 02:42 PM

Get rid of the tacky bits, change the rear end back, and make the tall ped reg fenders easily replaceable with lower aftermarket ones and I'll be happy.

I'm hoping the tallness in the fenders is the fenders themselves, not the chassis.

True that. If Toyota focus more on performance, you would see 3JZ in it, not Boxer 4. It's good tho when they want to toy with the market to see if the car will sell. Supra successor will be just another awesome car to be born if FT-86 is successful.

ANYWAYS........

the back definately needs to be cleaned up a bit, maybe thats where the 30 or 50 percent is left.. or 25-45 to remove the front led's =D

And restyle the tail back to its original form and remove all the carbon parts. That should be the production car.

Edit: Replace carbon parts with cheapie plastic.

What would a 20k USD car be priced as in AUS $$$ ???
