Ahhh! Won’t be able to get a Prius in time for this one. I have always wanted a PHEV Prius! You Prius owners in CO, step it up.

Toyota FT-86: Now With High-Res Mega-Gallery! - Toyota FT-86 - Jalopnik

There was a time when Toyota knew how to make exciting, sexy cars. The Toyota FT-86 concept heralds a return to those principles. Here’s a mega-gallery of 51 never-before-seen studio shots of Toyota’s new hotness.

The Toyota FT-86 concept is the fruit of cooperation between Toyota Motor Company and Subaru, and as such will wear a common chassis and some degree of engine commonality, at the least a 2.0 liter, four cylinder boxer engine dubbed the “C-45 Boxer” and making between 200 and 250 HP will power the rear wheels through a manual six speed transmission, and get this - no hybrid system.


Perhaps most telling are the car’s overall dimensions. At 163.7 inches long, 69.3 inches, a wheelbase of 101.2 inches, and 49.6 inches high, it’s thankfully compact, smaller in length, width and height than the Nissan 370Z, and slightly longer in wheelbase. It’s also the first car to wear Toyota’s new swoopy styling with some gusto. Dare we say it, we actually like the look of it. It’s… exciting, we’re so confused here. The interior is obviously all show-car glam and may serve as direction, but we’ll be shocked if there are many zippers on the production car’s dash. [via FT-86 Club]
