FT-86 / FR-S revealed in Modellista (Toyota's official tuner) brochure!

http://www.ft86club.com/?p=652

Modellista is Toyota's in house tuner so this is for sure legit.

WIN??

If they keep this lightweight and dont' start off pricing too high I think it's a win.

 

Looks like a Genesis Rip Off to me. I want to see specs too, I bet it will be a Scion TC replacement.

 

Here a shot of the interior from your forum link. I'd say definitely not as nice as the relatively clean exterior (minus the stickons).. actually more like a cluster p^%$#, too many weird uncoordinated shapes and designs, holes, etc. but I guess. And as this is an aftermarket brochure, when you take the extra bits out, how's it gonna look? One more month... and we'll know

 

the front headlights and tailights look nothing like the concept...they managed to **** it up again haha...

 

man there are idiots everywhere i guess. the guy throwing circles around stuff and the people answering him. yes its start button. yes thats an automatic, correct its not the other two that show clutch pedals. the exterior is with modelista parts on it and its not even photo's its cg illustrations

"the race car didnt have a start button" yeah so that means a production car never will "the race car gauges are different" ya think? "Arrangement of climate control differs slightly." the race car still has climate control? "The manual has 2 buttons below the shifter while the automatic has 3." no they each have the same buttons. one row of 3 and then rearward there are two more buttons

 

"the kit is actually a aero kit by toyota called modellista"

really?

 

asking about the drivers door switches? have they never seen the inside of a car? its windows window lock door lock and mirror adjust. just like every other new car, dimwit. these same people will ask "why is my car still running, after i turn it off and get out?" .

 

"In the Auto version when you shift to manual mode you will need to use the clutch just like any normal car, that is what i think "

um.....

 

The exterior looks like a Z and a Genesis while the interior looks like the 8. it looks alright so I will have to pass judgement till i see one in person.

 

\ I'll bite, I guess I haven't been an anything approaching a 'new car' in a while (budget mined friends lol). "why is my car still running, after i turn it off and get out?" Hit me.

 

.... and since it's a toyota it'll probably get close to 40mpg!

 

Is that a blank DIN slot there in the center dash? If so in the production car, I call that automotive genius.

 

because the electric cooling fans are on and people think the fan sound is their engine running

how's life?

 

That thing has a pretty serious case of Jay Leno chin.

 

 

...i'll wait to see teh dyno'zz

 

Toyota fucked up the LFA by leaving out the tear drops, and they just did the FR-S the same way. Car looks horrible now.

 

@ zoom's rants

 

lesper4 you rite, it does look like Genesis to me.. sorry to say, the center interior looks old to me..

 

It does not look as good

First of many.....

 

Looks as if the review embargo has been lifted...

"First impressions: it feels light and compact, a bit like an MX-5. "

Sounds like an RX-8 review! All about the driving experience, not the speed.

I hope it succeeds, but it's gonna be a long hard road with so many numbers people.

 

215/45-17's. Nuff Said.

 

Exactly! Nice Plus+ Size compared to even those of the larger 2012 Mazda MX-5 Tire Specs:
