Toyota FT-86 Concept

The Toyota FT-86 Concept was first shown at the 2009 Tokyo Motor Show. It was shown in various versions at other car shows such as the FT-86 G Sports, the FT-86 II, the Scion FR-S Concept and finally the Subaru BRZ STi.

The Toyota FT-86 was a cooperation between Subaru and Toyota.

The new Toyota ZN6 platform including the, Subaru BRZ, Scion FR-S, Toyota GT-86 and Toyota 86 has refreshed the affordable sports car market and also filled the void of an affordable rear wheel drive sports car. Something that has been missing for far too long. With the popularity of drifting and rear wheel drive cars spiking interest in current years, Toyota and Subaru have teamed up to built one of those most hyped cars in recent years.
