Photos with the Toyota FT-86 Concept have emerged from the Japanese auto maker ahead of the Tokyo Motor Show.
The Toyota FT-86 Concept is a 5-seat coupe that will get its power from a 2.0-litre boxer engine featuring a rear-wheel configuration and a low centre of gravity. The Toyota FT-86 Concept will be showcase in Tokyo in a Flash Red body colour and even though there were no technical specifications released, the company says its latest creation will offer both performance and environmental friendliness.

FT-86 Concept
Great to own and fun-to-drive: those are the guiding principles behind a new Toyota sports car concept that will break cover for the first time at the Tokyo motor show later this month.
The five-seat FT-86 (that’s hachi roku in Japanese) goes back to the fundamental qualities of the classic sports car with its rear-wheel drive configuration, compact dimensions, low centre of gravity and lightweight construction. Under the bonnet there is a 2.0-litre boxer engine that is strong on both performance and environmental quality.
The show car’s bodywork is finished in Flash Red, an eye-catching shade that contains a hint of blue. Inside, the cabin design further expresses the car’s classic sporting qualities with many of the structural elements left uncovered.
