Toyota is set to reveal the FT-86 sports car concept at the forthcoming Tokyo motor show. Designed at ED2, the company's European design center, the 4160mm long, 1760mm wide and 1260mm tall concept features a low center of gravity and sculpted panels developed to enhance its aerodynamic attributes.
Inside the driver-oriented cockpit is an instrument panel with a gray and white base, gauges with red neon lights and digital displays with embedded neon lights to provide emotional appeal. The interior also employs zippers as a key design element to allow for a changeable appearance.
Unlike the FT-HS concept unveiled at the 2007 Detroit Auto Show, the Japanese automaker is keen to emphasize that the FT-86 is neither a hybrid nor an electric vehicle. Instead the concept is propelled by a conventional 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine (developed by Subaru) sending power to the rear wheels via a six-speed gearbox.
