FT-86 / FR-S size dimensions compared to Genesis, Civic, Sction tC, etc
One thing i hate about most new cars is their size and how huge they all are, even sports cars. Look at the GTR that thing is is HUGE. Got me thinking to compare the size of the FT86 against its competing cars. Here's some stats
FT86: Length: 163.78 inches / Width: 69.29 inches / Height: 48.19 inches / Wheelbase: 101.18 inches AE86: Length: 168.7 inches / Width: 64 inches / Height: 52.6 inches / Wheelbase: 94.5 inches / Weight: 2094 Genesis coupe: Length: 182.3 inches / Width: 73.4 inches / Height: 54.5 / Wheelbase: 111 inches 370Z: Length: 167.2 inches / Width: 72.8 inches / Height: 51.8 inches / Wheelbase: 100.4 inches / Weight: 3,359 Civic coupe: Length: 175.5 inches / Width: 68.9 inches / Height: 55 inches / Wheelbase: 104.3 inches Scion tC coupe: Length: 174 inches / Width: 69.1 inches / Height: 55.7 inches / Wheelbase: 106.3 inches / Weight: 2905lbs (manual) - 2970 (auto) S2000: Length: 162.7 inches / Width: 68.9 inches / Height: 50 inches / Wheelbase: 94.5 inches Weight: 2809lbs CaymanS: Length: 172.1 inches / Width: 70.9 inches / Height: 51.4 inches / Wheelbase: 95.1 inches Weight: 2965lbs Here's a comparison to the Honda S2000 Comaprison to impreza Civic Si Genesis Coupe 370Z Mini Cooper AE86 Last edited by JDMinc; 10-11-2009 at 05:57 PM. |

So basically the FT-86 is smaller in all dimensions than almost all its competitors which is promising for me as a sports car lover. I especially love the height dimension... not only is center of gravity going to be low but it just looks so much better.
Hoping that it doesn't grow in production form and toyota stays true to making it a smaller tossable 21st century AE86 |

I just hope Toyota stick to their word and keep it light weight when it arrives. Cause I don't expect big power being the selling point for this car.

The GTR is rediculous, its basicly a japanese Camaro or Mustang. This car will bring back what a SPORTS car is supposed to be.

I think the Honda S2000 & Porsche Cayman S should be thrown in for good measure:
FT86: Length: 163.78 inches / Width: 69.29 inches / Height: 48.19 inches / Wheelbase: 101.18 inches Weight: ??? AP1: Length: 162.7 inches / Width: 68.9 inches / Height: 50 inches / Wheelbase: 94.5 inches Weight: 2809lbs 987c: Length: 172.1 inches / Width: 70.9 inches / Height: 51.4 inches / Wheelbase: 95.1 inches Weight: 2965lbs |

So I'm obsessed with the size of the car and searched around and found these comparison images.
Here's a comparison to the Honda S2000 Comaprison to impreza Love how it's small almost like the size of the s2000. I always wished there was an S2000 coupe version. |

A further point of note:
The 370Z puts down (whp) ~280 in 6MT and ~265 in 7AT trim and weighs in around 3300 lbs. That means 1 whp for every 11.79 / 12.45 lb or so of car. If the FT-86 weighs in around 2600 lbs (quite likely based on all their earlier claims) it will need to make ~220.5 / ~209 whp to have the same performance capability. That will probably require a blower or turbo (I'd be surprised if the FT-86 even makes that much power to the crank), but if Toyota keeps the price a good 10 grand less than the 370Z and either offers a factory option or a stout enough motor, it should be easy to turn the new car into a very quick little monster, and still cost less than a Z. Not to mention better fuel efficiency. Argh... Toyota needs to release more info already... |

I really don't think you're going to find the FT-86 to be turbo in stock form, although we can all hope!
If it does not come FI'd from the factory, I'm sure we can count on the aftermarket to supply that rather quickly. |

With variable valve timing and direct injection along with reworked internals by Toyota, the engine should be able crank out at least 200 hp. In Japan, the EJ20 DOHC with AVCS was able to push out 190 hp so I can't see why the boxer in the FT can't do the same.
The only real problem might be cost but with all this sharing going on I hope that Toyota has been able to save some money which in turn could help us. Last edited by 86Fan; 10-11-2009 at 08:23 PM. |

Of course I'd love to see a powerful motor in this thing but I wouldn't be disappointed with a great handling car that may not go as fast in the 1/4 mile.

I'm not too worried about power to weight because it will only be a matter of time before aftermarket gets a hold of it and motor swaps become available (2JZ-GTE)
