Hi everybody!
From when I heard about this Toyota/Subaru I was very excited to see it one day on our roads and own one. I am a BMW fan and an Alfa Romeo owner. I yet owe and an other old Alfa Romeo 145 with a 1.7l Boxer engine and I love it.
The car concept I like it front engine, rear wheel drive, manual transmission and naturally aspirated high revving engines. Of course I like the car to be very light. If to look at these criterias, the FT-86 is the perfect car for me. M3 is too heavy, Cayman and Lotus have the engine at the back, the 911 GT3 is too expensive...

So, back to topic, are there any infos on the wieght of the FT86? The last Alfa Romeo 4C Concept weighs 870 kg, but it seems to be all made of carbon fiber, what I don't think will make it to production, also it has the engine at the back. I would love it to be at least 1200 kg (DIN)! Any confirmation?

Thanks.
