First concept FT86 was designed by Toyota. Later on Subaru joined in & gave a feedback to Toyota on the design. After going through some joint-work, concept 2 was made.

So if you wanna go technical, Concept 1 was designed, engineered, & made by Toyota. Concept 2 was designed, engineered by Toyota & Subaru, but made by Toyota. & yes, I know this cuz I talked w a project team manager for concept 2... who work under Toyota
