TOYOTA FT-86

Everyone knows the Toyota Corolla, many know the Toyota Celica and few know the Toyota AE86 Trueno. From a reliable and popular family sedan to a sporty yet reliable car to a hardcore tuner car synonymous with 'drifting'.

Toyota definitely has a spectrum of cars that cater to the wide crowd, however, as of the modern days they have not exactly focused on the sports market, as seen with their focus on hybrid, fuel-efficient and family-orientated cars. 


But as of late, Toyota has decided to revive the AE86, an evolution to the popular yet affordable sports performance car - the Toyota FT-86 - let's go through the quick specifications (that aren't carved in stone yet). The first thing to note is the use of Suburau's boxer engine that is 2.0L of four cylinder power fitted with Toyota's F-4S technology which combines direct injection and port injection. The specifications are rather mediocre but coupled with its light weight and new technology it will hopefully run like a sports car, there is nothing more disappointing than a great looking sports car that doesn't run like a sports car!
