Toyota FT-86 Concept
The British publication EVO has gotten wind of another variant of the Toyota FT-86. Reportedly, this variant is track tuned and is priced lower than the model that's due to arrive in 2011. It is powered by the same Subaru-sourced, Toyota-tuned boxer four. In addition, this supposedly stripped-out variant could dispatch some of the standard model's amenities and they come equipped with upgraded brakes and suspension components specifically designed for track work and drifting duty. EVO said that the fully optioned FT-86 would carry a price tag of around $27,000, while this budget-oriented performance model will retail for around $22,000. This setup is similar to the Hyundai Genesis Coupe RSpec. The EVO report also stated that Toyota's crosstown rivals are working on a one-make race series for the Honda CR-Z and are also set to accomplish a plan to campaign the hybrid hatch at the 24 hours of Nurburgring enduro in May.
