The Toyota FT-86G Sports Concept named is derived from the AE-86 Corolla – a small, light-weight, rear-wheel drive coupe from the 1980s that has achieved cult status. The “G” suffix signifies a sports conversion that has stretched the original by 30mm, widened it by 20mm and lowered it by 30mm (4190mm × 1780mm × 1230mm).
Sharper looks come from a totally redesigned front end that incorporates a larger air intake with visible intercooler, as well as a vented bonnet. At the rear, a large carbon-fibre wing, diffuser and oversized twin exhausts contribute to the edgier styling. The Toyota FT-86G Sports Concept sits on low-profile Bridgestone 19-inch rubber – 245/40 at the front and 275/35 at the rear, while Recaro sports seats complete the “G” conversion of the dynamic four-seater.
The concept retains classic sports-car underpinnings with a front-mounted 2.0-litre engine – now boosted with a turbo – driving the rear wheels through a six-speed manual transmission.
