The Toyota FT-86 is a concept car built jointly by Toyota and Subaru and designed at the Toyota ED2 studio in France, carrying many design cues from the earlier FT-HS concept. It rides on a modified Subaru Impreza platform with a wheelbase of 101.2 inches and is described as measuring 163.8 inches long, 69.3 inches wide and 49.6 inches high. The concept uses a 2.0-litre naturally aspirated Toyota-Subaru D-4S boxer engine mated to a Subaru 6-speed manual transmission, with brakes from Advics, a joint venture of Aisin Seiki, Denso, Sumitomo Electric and Toyota. Its distinctive red paint was, according to chief engineer Tetsuya Tada, based on the colour of a Japanese monkey. The car was first shown at the October 2009 Tokyo Motor Show and first appeared outside Japan at the March 2010 Geneva Motor Show. An enhanced FT-86 G Sports was shown at the January 2010 Tokyo Auto Salon, and Toyota Europe presented a revised FT-86 II at the March 2011 Geneva Motor Show as its successor. The concept previewed the production rear-wheel-drive car that Toyota planned to release in November 2011.
