For some reason white isn't doing it for me, that orange color is nice.



It looks like everything I'd want out of an FR sports car though, awesome.

In that last vid (parade), are the lights of the white one with the GT wing and the black one at the end where it lines up different than the rest? Looks more aggressive. Maybe just the lighting.

Very nice photos, I'm still pretty torn on the profile shot but the rest of the car is pretty magnificent.

Agreed- that stood out for me too. All the spy shots show 215/45R17 all round, this is the first mention of a staggered setup i've seen.

Its going to make it less playful and more understeery if true.

I can't decide on a color! But that stance in that pic is sick!

looking good! I must say the white isn't as appealing as it was with the mk2 lines. Looks less aggressive but that was a given. so we can rebadge from scion frs to toyota 86?

200 hp from a 2 liter direct injection engine at 7000 hp with 17x lb ft. of torque isn't that high strung for a modern engine.... I'm guessing the engine will probably run slow but perfectly safe on regular gas, and premium will give you the 200 hp.
