Toyota FT-86 still on track for 2011 launch
Contrary to recent rumours, Toyota’s eagerly anticipated FT-86 is still on track for a 2011 launch. Toyota recently held at press event in Japan in order to get some things straight about its Toyota G’s performance vehicles. Naturally, there were many questions about the FT-86 (or FR-S). Although it was reported a few months ago that the sports coupe would be delayed until 2013 for design and powerplant reasons, now it’s back on schedule with a release date of November 2011.
Clarity on the lineup was offered as well, there will be three spec levels with at least two engine options, and the mid-range model is expected to cost around 2.5 million yen ($39,550 NZ). The top dog model will be a turbocharged variant which will add appeal to drifters and tuners. Apparently, there will be no hybrid drivetrains – that tech is being reserved for a different sporty product.
