It’s been a little while since we’ve seen any decent sports cars come out from Toyota.  However, at the very bare Tokyo Car Show this year they revealed a new concept called the FT-86.

Although not many details were released yet, it can be said that the FT-85 is the result of a rumored venture between Toyota and Subaru.  Since this is the case, the vehicle will be powered by a 2.0-liter boxer engine to the rear wheels.  Unfortunately, no details of the horsepower and torque have been made available.

The FT-86 Concept’s total length is just under 164 inches, which is about a foot and a half smaller than a Chevy Cobolt Coupe.  Other details like the curb-weight and suspension were also not made available, however they did say that it uses a light body and low center of gravity to give it excellent handling.

More details on the Toyota FT-86 Concept is expected to become available in the next few weeks of the car show.
