This car might have a CF reinforced plastic Drive shaft...the 350z/370z has one...so does the LFA...and other cars...its not too expensive for them to include it in the FT-86.

2700 pounds is light enough for a loaded FR 2+2....

And just think they are not even using aluminum suspension components...well they might we just don't really know yet until there is a breakdown of the components. Pictures don't tell us crap.
