PICS: Updated Toyota FT-86 II Concept at 2011 Frankfurt IAA

[AlchEm1st]

I absolutely love the body lines of this concept! Really hoping the Brembos will be standard or at least come with some version trim spec.

If this car goes on sale as is, I would be first in line to get one regardless of what the wife thinks. Orange car it is hehe. LEDs would be great also because they would almost never burn out. No more worries about replacement!

so um, November 13th?

Man, I miss those tail lights on the MKII. It's nice to see the concept in a production color, this definitely leaves a lot to look forward to.

Is the brembos going to make it to production? Or are you speaking in terms of concept brake pricing?

I was talking about the color. You know, like how they offer the "high voltage" yellow/orange only on the special edition Tc?

Actually, I hope the Brembos won't make it to production because they are generally pretty pricey if anything needs to be replaced. Plus, if they are anything like the Brembos that come on the Z, they are NOT going to last.

I'd be happy enough with the biggest generic dual piston brake kit that clears 17" wheels.

You mean the Advics? Good question, I was wondering the same thing...

How is that even possible? Oh well, good stuff none the less. Will the Advics be available as an option (if they are higher spec'd than the Brembos that is)?

[Deysc]

Im going to SEMA with this car for sure! LEDs need to go I agree.

[Abflug]

Thank you Hachi for the excellent shots!

Now the color isn´t that ugly anymore!

[Slide]

I wish it was coming out November... But we all know it will be Dec.

Thanks hatchi for the pics

Yay for the breaks and wheel size

THat has yet to cross my mind and ive seen this before with tones of concept car were the drawing borad is flawless and then the final model comes out is down right rubbish!
December is right around the bend but what gives me hope is they have give this mold massive amount of show off and with a little bit of luck we get what happened to the camaro , next to nothing changed.

Keeping my fingers crossed.....

ADVICS was better spec than Brembos (so I heard anyways). ADVICS are technically under AISIN, so it might be possible... I'm not 100% sure ADVICS are optional (here in US). As for JP and other places, IDK

Granted the 350Z's Brembos are a little overwhelmed, but other cars use a more common Brembo 4-pot caliper and have excellent results.

More than likely the Brembos on the FR-S will be the exact same units that also stop the Evo 8/9/10, 04-12 STI, 5G Camaro, track pack-Genesis Coupe, and G8 GXP...and they are plenty of brake for those heavy cars which means they will be more than good enough for the FR-S.
