Again, all guesses from an unconfirmed article.
So let me get this straight. A leaked printed specification document is a fraud because the company it was leaked from will not confirm it? The use of the term "GT86" was a misprint and doesn't mean a thing. ZF will provide the transmission to the Toyota but not the BRZ which is made on the same line. The head designer of both the 86 and Supra doesn't know what's going on with his car. Why the creator of the 86 would want the next incarnation of his sports car to be designated the FT86 is beyond me.....
