Toyota FT-86 in the series will be called the Celica?

What is certain is his arrival in early 2012. On the product name instead of number, yet it was not decided anything definite. Both the assumptions that continue to flourish. The latest? Celica. Yes, the Toyota FT-86 in his capacity as the production could go to dust off the name of long-lived sport of Japan, returning to bring the front-engine rear-drive layout, abandoned by the Celica in 1985.

The Japanese coupe will be offered in the U.S. under the brand Scion, while in Europe and Japan as Toyota, according to an insider quoted by Autocar-should also contain the number 86, quote "educated" of the AE86, the 83 sports which is explicitly rebuilt the concept FT-86. The car will be at the top of its priorities and optimize the driving pleasure of driving dynamics, the objective for which you have chosen the four-cylinder Subaru boxer motor, characterized by an architecture that favors the lower center of gravity.

Initially, the nose of the new Celica was to be even lower than it will be, but the regulations for pedestrian protection in frontal collisions have imposed less extreme solutions. The new sport of the Rising Sun should be given its world premiere in November at the Tokyo Motor Show.
