AS1 Definition?

so i'm trying to get to the bottom of the name "AS1" and define it.

as far as i can find, it is the name of the test mules that are now the cars we all see as the gt86/frs/brz. it's odd to me to have a hard time finding this info because it is at the top and bottom of every page, as in forum name.

a car code-named “AS1,” which will be sold in the U.S. as both the Subaru BRZ and the Scion FR-S
source
http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/...rototype-drive

so on this forum people refer to all the cars by the prototype name AS1 as to refer to all of them at the same time

i'm posting this because it is not information that is easy to find with a search, and the veterans of this site use it often

it is important to have a code name or frame code for all 3 cars as one.. i'm good with as1, but i all ways thought it was the prototypes and not a frame code like ae86, e3, ect.. like some suggest. and thus it is a temporary name to refer to all car until we get the frame code. right?

i'm not looking for a fight.. i've been on this site for a year and i can not find a source for the clames that it is a frame code

please let me know if this is bad info.. no mater what it will be a post that people can find in a search and let newbies know whats up

The code name was FT86. AFAIK the production is AS1 as the chassis code. The 1 part definately makes sense for that.

i think you might just have to wait until there is an actual car to look at. i understand the concern but it doesnt really change anything as far as many people are concerned

No, FT86 was just what they called it at auto shows. As near as I can tell, 086A was the internal project code. It has the same alphanumeric format as the other semi-recent Toyota codes I was able to find with google.

2011 Camry = 050A
2004 Wish = 760N
2010 Livia = 700L
2011 Yaris = 830L

As for AS1, it might be the Subaru internal project code and/or the chassis code. I could make an argument for either.

bingo, this used to be the 086A forum back in the day, as well as the 216A forum.
i am fairly sure it is the chassis code (as in AS1) just like, kind of sort of, the AE86 was the chassis code for the famous corollas

AS1 has no congruency as a Toyota chassis code. Especially considering their designation for the engine is 4U-GSE.

It would be something along the lines of U***
