Hit the "NEXT" and there are about 20 photos. You can also see the FT-86 II.

Appreciate the information, but this is no new news.

Every time I see pictures of this car next to a person the more I realize this car is going to be tiny.

I agree, I love how it has such a low profile. After seeing these pics beside a person, it kind of compares to how low and sleek the FR-S concept is.

Yep, it's deliciously small, at least compared to modern car offerings these days, which all seem to get more and more bloated

They shot with a wide angle lens and the foreground becomes enlarged, which makes the FT-86 appear smaller. Go to image 3 to 8 and the scale is more normal and the FT-86 becomes larger.

Yeah there was certainly some photography tricks in that photoshoot, I never saw one normal picture with him actually in reference to the car. Looks pretty cool though.

HE SPEAKS

but really, I love how it is, its smaller than my celica, and definitely looks to be a lower seating position, just what I love, being grounded, of course many people will probably hate getting out of it, but hey, its not for the passenger to enjoy, its a driver's car

farugah · 08-05-2011, 03:34 AM

Damn I didnt see anyone that looked like they were from toyota except for the girls that tried to charge me money for a FT-86 poster.

there were posters? WHAT??????i missed those dammit

i went on friday there were salesmen there that day, the only way u can talk to someone in the know is get to a car show on the opening day because everything is being revealed so more of them are there to talk to the press.

Marrk · 08-06-2011, 12:04 PM

Small is good, but having the right scale is better. If the stat of 102-in. wheelbase on this car is correct, then it won't be too small.

Wish it didn't have those "lady humps" over the front wheel wells, tho.

ryun84 · 08-06-2011, 06:58 PM

Those "lady humps" can be used to visualize exactly where the wheels are when taking hard turns at the track (or for making sure you don't curb your wheels while daily driving).
