Default Toyota FT-86

Sounds like this might be pretty close to production, however I am disappointed that they are using a 150hp boxer for this and not an STi motor... Hopefully there will be options for more power later on...

Other than that I do like the styling, and am happy toyota is bringing back a RWD sports car!

looks like a hyundai genesis. i wouldnt consider it a sports car with only 150 hp.. my frigin base model 09 jetta comes with 177hp. and probably a significant amount of extra torque.

Toyota opted to equip the concept model with a naturally-aspirated version of Subaru's 2.0-liter flat flour that produces 150HP in the Impreza.

However, it is most likely that the Japanese automaker has tweaked the engine to crank out a few more ponies boosting output closer to 200 horsepower.

It's worth noting that in Japan, Subaru also offers a 2.0-liter turbocharged boxer with 250HP that powers the Impreza S-GT that we all know as the WRX in most markets.
Seems like some of you read through the details. 200hp in a n/a rwd setup sounds like its full of win for me.

Depending on weight and dimensions...

but, admittedly, I didn't read the link.

200 na rwhp would be fun, but Im still hoping that there will be a turbocharged sti engine crammed in there, or maybe a tuned up camry v6

That looks promising. Hopefully Toyota makes the engine bay big enough for people to actually get to the engine.
