Shown at the Tokyo Motor Show in October 2009, and the point at which the car that became the Toyota 86 stopped being an idea about a hybrid V6 and became a light rear-drive coupé with a Subaru boxer.[1]
Its predecessor concept, the FT-HS of 2007, was bigger and hybrid-powered. Between the two, Toyota bought 16.5% of Fuji Heavy Industries; the FT-86 that resulted used a Subaru chassis derived from the Impreza and the new D-4S boxer engine, with the body refined by Toyota’s ED² studio in Nice. The production car arrived at the same show two years later.
No performance figures are recorded here because Toyota published none, not even the manufacturer claims a concept usually carries.
