Yeah, it's been posted a few times. It's one of the pics that points out one of the points that I like about this car.

It's a slightly heavier, slightly bigger, much more powerful, hard top Miata in my head.


Toyota's looks like their Prius. The Subbie version at least is closer to where it should be visually (though still a ways to go).

I'm racing the 09 Concept that was included with GT5 in our current "season", and have been enjoying it quite a bit.

^ the overlay shows exactly why I think Mustangs are gross looking and over blown(up). But it does show that being so small, it could be the GT-86 won't look bad at all in person standing there, but out of context with anything else... as in many of these pics ... .it's hard to judge visual goodness.

That overlay is with the concept car which doesn't seem to have nearly as much front and rear overhang as the production car. The overlay is pretty cool though.

I'm not sure I believe that overlay is proportional. I test drove a Genesis V-6 (track model) and it's pretty damn small. The handling was not as superb as the 8 but it had way more power. If it is correct then damn that FT-86 is small.

the front seat has to be tighter than the MX5 if they have a rear seat in there.

Subbie version ready for Super GT in Japan.




Some of the facebook comments over it are humorous though.

My favorite was "looks like an RX-8. This was developed in cooperation with Mazda, right?"

They should have made the production car look like that..
