The Toyobaru is definitely the car of the moment: his "incarnations," shown so far by the name of Toyota FT-86, FR-S Scion and soon with the Subaru logo on the hood, are the prelude of a sports car that seems to have all what it takes to fall in line and enter the competition in the heart of all fans.
The project is very ambitious: to build a rear-drive coupe with a boxer engine and handling for gourmets maintaining competitive price. Miracles of synergies or wicked ambition? The weather, the few months that separate us from the presentation of the final model, will be able to give us the answer we seek.
Meanwhile, to keep up the morale think about the latest rumors revealed by Autocar. The British magazine reported the words of some insider in the Japanese house, adding lots of pepper Toyobaru the question: first, the FT-86 Concept presented in Geneva is "95%" what we will see in Toyota showrooms across Europe.
The car would have a structure built with high strength steel to keep weight down. In the focus of the technicians is the Toyota-Subaru Volkswagen Scirocco: compared to the hatch-coupe from Wolfsburg, the FT-86 could have "over" 200 kg less. Yes, you read that right. This means that the balance should not exceed 1100/1200 kg! One feature that puts it in direct competition with the TT as the Ingolstadt coupe, the FT-86 series should have a rear bench seat can accommodate two people for a short trip.
And then, then .. ah yes, the FT-86 is that "small" advantage provided by the presence of rear-wheel drive instead of the more popular front Scirocco (also in the peak) and the TT entry-level (it is ironic of course). Begins to come true your mouth water? Well, why keep rubbing their hands soon.
The engine under the hood of the sport in Japan is a new 2.0 naturally aspirated boxer (200 hp) with aluminum base derived from Subaru (and sorry if it is little), curated by direct injection tests conducted by Toyota and Yamaha. Its architecture is a horizontally opposed cylinders should ensure the car an extremely low center of gravity, as well as a very aggressive cutting of the hood.
The webcast will be assigned instead to a manual transmission with race-Insurance-very short or an automatic with paddles behind the wheel. The power will be transmitted to the wheels through a limited slip differential. And if the pattern Multilink rear suspension with MacPherson front does not scream to the miracle of engineering, the house ensures that the cushions are very refined for a car of this segment and price.
