Toyota x Subaru

 The Toyota FT-86 Concept, a platform reminiscent of the decade-old Supra, debuts in the Tokyo Motor Show. With all the hype around performance hybrids, Toyota takes another look at the targeted consumer - car enthusiasts...not hybrid enthusiasts. This model is conceived to have a front-mounted engine and rear-wheel drive, but is rumored to have a possible all-wheel drive drivetrain with Subaru in the work. Further progress in the finalization of the concept, an STi trim may be developed with wider tracks, bigger wheels, and a possible STi boxer engine. Big talk is going around about this concept, but only time will tell. Possible release by 2012.

The last shot sells it. So sexy. Check the vid - GT5 shows the C-45 Boxer from Subaru under the hood.
