If someone wants and expects a 300hp turbocharged FT86, he doesnīt understand the philosophy behind this particular car, and hasnīt taken the time to read any of the interviews to its designers.

"We did a lot of research. We talked to owners, fanatics, real buyers of sports cars around the world. They told us: Speed isn’t everything. If it’s just an incredibly fast car, they don’t really want it. What they want is a sports car that is
small, compact, light, and that handles just the way they want it to handle.”
“The super-super-super fast cars are only for the super-rich. Even most super-rich don’t want to buy them. The people I talked to were looking for something like the 80s kind of a sports car, echoes of an AE86.
They wanted a stripped-down, basic sports car with the price more like that of a piece of sports equipment, not the price of a house. Those people wanted
something that doesn’t exist.”
