Toyota FT-86 New Photos Released

With no Toyota sports car on the market for some time now, the automotive scene was of course fascinated when Toyota first unveiled the FT-86 sports car at the 2009 Tokyo Motor Show. While we wait patiently for the car's arrival in 2012, Toyota has released a “family portrait” showing the new FT-86 alongside three of its spiritual predecessors, the most important of which should be the Corolla AE86 followed by the Celica and the Supra. Other shots show the FT-86 in clearer details than before.

The FT-86 would be a lightweight sports car, with a kerb weight as low as 1250 kg in production form. It would be powered by Subaru's 2.0-litre boxer engine mated to a six-speed manual gearbox. The rear-wheel drive chassis would feature a double-wishbone setup at the front and multi-link at the rear. Toyota has only made known so much thus far, so until we get more details, enjoy the gallery of official photos!
