New AE86 RUMOR! (FT-86 concept)

[Rasteirinho]

86 it's because the engine has 86mm bore and 86mm stroke

[Uzelac]

Yeah, right
And on every other slide of their presentation is AE86, and 86x86mm engine is mentioned once or twice

Although, very nice to see so many 86'es

Popped down to my local dealer today. Ordered some bits for my car and also had a chat with the manager who is very keen for me to get my car in the showroom when their display GT86 arrives. :+:

Also picked up a GT86 brochure which came in yesterday apparently:

GT86:


The heritage:


The legend:


Interior:

Can you maybe also scan the official spec sheet, if it's in the brochure.
Another thing I'm curious about which wasn't clearly visible on pictures so far is the idea to have a cutout/removable panel on the dash to fit a rollcage as planed in the concept but never heared if it this idea actualy made it into production. Judging by the full blown doorpanels compared to the concept I guess not

No removable panel that im aware of, but roll cages have been fitted just not 100% on whether the stock dash was used or not, ill have a quick look.

[fkn16v]

Definately no panel to remove.

If that in the corners are speakers one might be able to take those out in the case the go all the way out to the edge but I guess they didn't thought of that either anymore.
I still think it's a nice car just a shame the didn't stick to more ideas of the concept.
I'm aware that due to todays regulations most concept cars can't be built 100% the same for production but small things like that shouldn't have been an issue.
Especially on a car that is beeing promoted as one with a racing heritage and one of the most thoughtful concept version.

I guess I'll keep it old school. Untill some manufacturer really gets 99% right on the production model.
