I thought a few of their concepts started with FT???
Once in production they dropped the FT!
You're new here, aren't you? Haha. Yes, for the first few years everyone knew it as the FT86, hence the URL of the website you're on. The production version is only known as the 86, GT86, FR-S or BRZ, in Australialand they call it the 86. It was inspired by the FT86, so as far as I'm concerned (and a lot of people will be), it's still an FT86.

The cost of personalized plates in Australia varies from state to state. I believe in some states you "rent" the combination, but in Queensland you purchase a combination outright. As it stands, 3Lx2N or 2Nx3L (where N = numbers and L = letters) combinations start at around AU$400. 2Lx2N are $1000. "Prestige" plates (3-6 figures, any combination of letters and numbers) are $2200, and for a week every year you can get 7 letter plates for $3300. In the two most expensive brackets you can insert a space as well.
