Guys, here's a summary of what thye've actually said:

1. It will be light (hopefully lighter than the alledged 1300 kg...)

2. It will have an EJ20 with D-4S, a 6-speed, and FR set-up.

3. They intend to release a higher perfomance TRD version, and are considering a convertable version. Not much evidnece of an out of the box turbo version, but some evidence to suggest a TRD FI kit.

4. They are setting the weight distribution for drifitng.

That's about it, other that specific details about the concept car's physical dimensions.

Now none of that is set in stone, but those details are a much safer bet than features they have NOT talked about.
Okay maybe we're not in the same page. lol
I'm not talkin' bout TOYOTA FT-86 here. I'm talking about SUBARU STI coupe. I careless if Toyota FT-86 doesn't come out AWD. Like OldSkoolToys said "Who keeps saying Subaru isn't making their own?" It's not like Subaru HAVE TO use FT-86 concept chassis. They can say "F*** you, Toyota. We gonna make our own STI chassis." (I'm pretty sure they won't say f u, but you get the idea).

Oh and for your #4 statement "4. They are setting the weight distribution for drifitng." I don't think, Toyota doing weight distribution for "Drifting". Weight distribution can help drifting.
