While not exactly a competitior to the FT-86 due to the price, weight, and mid-engine layout for some reason I like the Audi e-tron detroit concept. It's 2976lbs with a wheelbase of 95.6 inches. The production version will be called the R4 and will probably come with a turbo 4 or the turbo inline 5 from the ttr-s mounted mid ship. No mention of whether it will be RWD or AWD, but knowing Audi, quattro awd will definately be an option at some point. Think of it like a baby R8. There are a lot of wild rumors about it possibly slotting in under the Audi TT and being priced in the low 30k usd. It's still heavy though.
No way it's gonna be cheaper than a TT. In fact, it's hard to figure out why this exists when the TT is already in the lineup.
