2011 Toyota FT-86G Sports Concept

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.
