The concept measures 4,235mm in longth, 1,795mm in width and is 1,270mm tall, with a wheelbase that measures 2,570mm.
“With its long, low bonnet, high wings and rear-set cabin, the Toyota FT-86 II Concept pays homage to Toyota's sports car history and is an entirely driver-oriented concept. It was created at Toyota's European design studio ED2, where its styling was dubbed 'functional beauty': its bold, sweeping form has been generated purely according to the constraints of function and aerodynamics,” a company statement reads, describing the vehicle's design.
“The low, highly aerodynamic bodyshell is stretched tight over the engineering hard points, with the muscular bodywork rendered as compact as possible,”
The engineers have placed both the powertrain and the driving position low and far back, in order to bring the vehicle’s center of gravity close to the road and offer an optimal weight distribution. The company promises that the front-mounted engine/rear-wheel drive configuration, together with smart engineering solutions, will offer a high level of accessible performance. As for the power, this will be provided by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder boxer unit.
Toyota and Subaru are working hard to develop the new vehicle, with the model scheduled to be released in Europe next year.
