Sporting Heritage

Under a design concept that Toyota's European Design Development centre has dubbed 'Functional Beauty', it's bold, sweeping form has been generated through the constraints of function. The long, low bonnet, high wings and rear-set cabin pay homage to Toyota's illustrious sports car history, while the aerodynamic, muscular bodywork has been made as compact as possible.

FT-86 II combines a free-revving boxer petrol engine and 6-speed manual transmission with light weight and a low centre of gravity for the optimum power-to-weight ratio. Both powertrain and driving position have been set as low and far back as possible, awarding the FT-86 II lively, accessible performance, readily-exploitable dynamic abilities and maximum driving pleasure.

We are now taking details for those interested in the FT-86 II once it goes on sale in 2012. If you would like us to contact you nearer the time please visit
