After searching the internet i found a quote from the president of Toyota Motor Europe at his conference at the auto show. at the end of the conference he had this to say about the FT86;
Quote:
Finally, I am really excited to share more details of our next sports car. Over the years, Toyota has created a rich heritage of exciting sports models. Think of the Celica, the MR2 and the Supra. The FT-86 Concept you can see here today anticipates what you’ll get from the next generation of Toyota sports cars. With a front engine and rear-wheel drive configuration, the FT-86 is extremely light, with a low centre of gravity. It delivers an instant and precise response to even the slightest input from the accelerator and steering.
It reflects our President’s passion for racing and delivers his ambition of making driving fun and exciting. So when the production model arrives mid-2012, it will show that, at Toyota, PASSION IS BACK – DEFINITELY BACK - driving our product planning and development.
