Is this, at long last, the official performance data of the Toyota FT-86?

This spec sheet, first published on enthusiast website FT86club, is purportedly a training manual with all the important figures of Toyota’s all-new rear-wheel drive sports coupe.

The sheet reveals data for two ‘small FR (front-engined/rear-wheel drive) sport’ vehicles – a high-spec model and a low-spec model – and compares them with the Mazda MX-5 and RX-8 and the Honda CR-Z.

According to the spec sheet, the 86’s 2.0-litre Boxer engine will produce 147kW of power (200hp) at 7000rpm and 205Nm of torque at 6600rpm.

The low-spec model will return a combined cycle fuel consumption figure of 7.7 litres/100km, while the high-spec model (apparently heavier by 20kg) will use 8.1 litres/100km.

Unfortunately, the training manual doesn’t include details on the vehicles’ 0-100km/h times or top speed.

According to the data, the base model six-speed manual weighs 1210kg and the top-spec model weighs 1230kg. The six-speed automatic adds 20kg to both grades.

The 1998cc Boxer engine drinks premium unleaded fuel and the car is fitted with a 50-litre fuel tank.

All models will come with Vehicle Stability Control (ESC), six airbags, tilt- and reach-adjustable steering wheel and a one-piece folding rear seat, which can accommodate two passengers.

The entry-level model is decked out in 16-inch alloy wheels while the higher model scores 17s. It will also get ventilated front and rear disc brakes, while the base model will make do with non-ventilated rears. A limited slip differential will be standard on the high-spec car and available only on the manual variant of the lower model.

Additionally over the base model, the top-spec Toyota 86 will get HID headlamps, automatic headlights, front fog lights, leather steering wheel, steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters (auto only), aluminium pedals, keyless entry and start, climate control, and high quality fabric upholstery.

These specifications are not official from Toyota and allegedly apply to the Japanese market, so should therefore be taken with a grain of salt when looked at from an Australian perspective.

Official details of the Toyota FT-86 will be revealed when the car makes its international debut at the 2011 Tokyo Motor Show on November 30.

The new Toyota coupe – which is still without an official name – has been confirmed to go on sale in Australia around the middle of 2012.

Interesting comparisons between the MX-5, RX8 and CR-Z. I’m happy that the high-spec only weighs 1230kg as it should have just enough creature comforts without feeling like a buss. This car looks the part and hopefully should be cheap enough as well.

Here’s hoping Subaru bring out there specs and styling version soon!
crouchy

Hmmm the comparison cars suggest a price that we were dreading……
Pauly

Very odd to be comparing it against the CR-Z. Its not in the same league as MX-5, RX-8 or FT-86/BRZ

However with Honda Australia rumored to be asking $35,000 for the CR-Z except the FT-86 to be priced in Hot Hatch territory ($40,000 starting price)

vti07

Maybe they are comparing it to the rumoured turbo petrol crz?

Hector

hmmm $40k for this or $45K for a base model WRX that goes like stink in both engine performance and grip? i’d still take the rex. cheaper to make it go quicker and much more practical too. still ugly as sin though.
http://zuboora.com mohamad is right when he

U-G-L-Y u ain’t got no alibi… your ugly!

http://zuboora.com mohamad is right when he

… And underpowered

Bangel

Correct torque is low ,gruntless , there will be many wrist injuries with all the gear changes.

Learnt my lesson with prelude VTIR , fantastic handling , but a nightmare with peak revs on every gear , great fun for the first few months .

Lets hope subaru get the chance to strap a turbo on theirs although i doubt it with nanna toyota in charge .

http://zuboora.com mohamad is right when he

Nope.. Subaru Wont
Unless they use this as a new 2-door Rex/STI?
Well I hope it comes out turbo.. There is enough NA 4′s out there atm

Ford Fairlane

What do you mean mohamad,there are more Turbo 4cyl performance cars at the moment than there are NA one’s

Golf,new Focus,new Fiesta,Magene,WRX,Lancer,Citroen DS3,Mini Cooper S,Cruze?

The only decent NA 4cyl performance cars I can think of are Renult Cleo,Honda Civic.

camaro

you gotta be idian too hey. poor sap just cant afford one.
Ford Fairlane

Instead of a turbo what about a 2.5 na boxer engine with 165kw and 250nm for the higher spec models.

test drive

Not underpowered, under-torqued. It needs a turbo and near 300NM of twist to make it a proper driver’s car.

http://zuboora.com mohamad is right when he

*Unless sorry grammar anal

Dave

I say a dry sumped 2jz or 3sgte revival for this would make things alot more appealing….or you just wait a few months for a rolling chassis and do the conversion yourself.
Either way i think the pricing will kill this in OZ like hector says 45k for a poverty WRX will be more
bang for buck

Jerome

Why go to all that trouble when the entire car is designed around a Subaru boxer engine. I would imagine its pretty much a straight swap for a wrx/sti engine.

IfItAintARotorItAintAMotor

WRX/STi engine is East-West facing, FT-86 will be North-South, as it’s RWD. The EJ20 is immediately not going to be an easy swap…

davie

east west????????????

You don’t know much about subuaru engines do you?

LOL!!!
Andre

That has to be the most entertaining comment on this site for a while.

It proves that you don’t have to have ANY knowledge of vehicles to be an armchair expert.

notatoy

Interior design could be better
whathe..

This car has more leaks than the Titanic.

incentive75

They are preparing everyone for a soft landing to reality hence all the leaks – with these power and torque and weight figures its obvious that this car is basically a non-event for the performance oriented motoring public, just another Celica.

Sonic

The power-to-weight ratio looks sounds similar to the 7th Generation Celica… only it’s rear wheel drive. I’ve driven the 7th gen Celica before, and it was good fun. I’m happy with these performance figures. Especially when Toyota are focusing more on the handling of the FT-86.

This should be a great car.

Jerome

lol dont know why people are voting this comment down?
7th gen Celica had an amazing engine and in lift it was quick. I had a custom s/c’ed one. 200+kws atw and weighing 1090kgs it was awesome fun.

Sonic

Thanks Jerome. I agree.

Not to mention, the 2ZZ-GE produced 189hp out of a 1.8L engine. There were weren’t many cars 12 years ago which could surpass the 100hp-per-litre milestone. It was a brilliant engine, also used by Lotus for the Elise.
test drive

I have no idea why they abandoned the 3S-GTE.
The GT-Four won numerous world rallys with it.
Even the NA 3S-GE had brilliant power/weight performance and was frugal to boot.

Hung Low

Iron Block perhaps! Great engine though!

zahmad

Or about the same weight as the classic s13 Silvia….
Interesting to see how this car will compare to the now almost ten year old s15 Silvia/200sx…

Wayne Kerr

That power is just pathetic.

Nathan

Your name says it all.

Wayne Kerr

That’s how I justify my Wayne Key comments

But seriously, what’s with Toyota pumping out slow sports cars. They have the technology to pump out something decent. I originally hoped for a 370Z rival but instead find it it’s a boxer engine gimmick car.

Dave

Jerome i agree however the toyota inline 6 or 4 are easy to get power out of compared to any boxer engine.

The 2j in my supra has achieved 350RWKW with the USDM spec intake cam, 550cc injectors and highflowed oem twins.

That kinda power with proven reliabilty could produce something to give the new Juke R a decent contender

Jerome

Easy power yes and they are great engines, but the custom work needed to make it fit in a Ft-86 would be huge. The engine is pushed way down and back in the Ft. I dont think you could make either toyota engine fit + then you need to find a gear box that will fit / mate up.

AndyGF

Dont worry toyota fans, Im sure there will be host of aftermarket ‘turbo charger kits’ available…

This is good for you, because it means you can stick loads of little stickers down your door and on your windscreens.

And its good for toyota, because they can ‘punish’ any performance enthusiast appropriately by voiding your warrantee, JUST the way they like it.

The other Brad

If you have a look over the stuff mentioned the last week on ft86club there’s some info about a ‘R’ spec ft86 with turbo, better brakes etc aimed at track use. Availability is unknown.

There was also a bare-bones ft86 spec that’s basically there just for people to pick up and upgrade themselves. Once again, availability unknown.

incentive75

Turbo version is 6 months away – and it will be a road car, so save your coin for that top model.

The other Brad

Car Magazine quoted a 0-100km/h of 7 sec.

Flabby Chap

0 – 60mph (96kmh) or 0 – 100kmh?

http://www.formalcars.com.au Tony

Wouldn’t be hard for Nissan to release a S16 Silvia/200sx and smash this out of the water. Imagine if the S15 was released today, 2L turbo RWD with a decent chassis for under $50k?
Rick

It’s certainly starting to look like a typical Toyota , underpowered ( at least on paper , you’d have to drive it to make a final assessment ) but definitely sounds like it’s going to be overpriced
Mark B

I’ll reserve my judgement until the test drive reviews. This car was never meant to be powerfull sport car. If it handles in the corners, does 0-100km in 7.0 seconds and is around $40k I’ll be happy!

c3vzn

autoexpress confirmed it does 0 to 100 in 7 seconds.

http://zuboora.com mohamad is right when he

Should be called Toyota- Tortoise catchy name

Bangel

Needs to start with a C ,like toyota contrivance or convulsion .

http://caradvice OSU811

Not bad, I like it, will be interested to see the subaru styling! as images so far of the BRZ I prefer over this imo. cant complain about those performance figures as long as priced around $40k max!!

Josh

I will buy the Sh*t out of this car when it arrives.

incentive75

It will have just enough power and torque for a cruise down the beach and to the shops.

Power and torque are pathetic, and so is 0-100, but at least it will be P-Plate legal so young drivers can have more fun then driving a Kia or some older junker.

Hung Low

I dont get it with you blokes, it will be priced similar to a Vdud Gti, have similar power and performance from a naturally aspirated engine which will give it better throttle response and make it more fun around the twisties.
Give it a break!

gti

Hung like a mouse,

Golf gti has 155kw and 280nm. You seriously think that 205nm will keep up, especially when the engine needs constant high revs to produce peak outputs?

Bangel

Spot on GTI , that car will struggle to do low 7′s , no torks , try an ecu up grade no , posers car .

I reason the scoobie version will be the blaster .

Toyota cream pie , might put a fake VK HDT in the shade .
aza

With similar power and torque figures to the Civic Type R, less weight (100Kg) and short gearing, the FT-86 will easily keep up with the Golf (Type R 0-100 6.6s, GTi 6.9s).
AndyGF

I agree GTI and Bangel, the toyota versions clutch will be so soft it will launch like a water-boatman skating across a bowl of custard…

K-Pop

In no time you’ll be able to get aftermarket bolt on turbo kits for this car….easy fix for anyone who feels it lacks power.
Jober As A Sudge

Sure it’s a Toyota? It actually looks pretty good! All jokes aside…this needs more torque
ElecEng

All you morons complaining about power, why don’t you stick to your ugly WRX.

The old AE-86 was known to be able to have a stable and continous powerslide when you bury your right foot (when the suspension is tuned properly). Tell me one car that can do this today at this price!!

The MX-5 can’t do this because it’s got a very short wheel base and have a tendency for snap oversteer. I hope the new FT-86 can make this happen. It’ll be a fun drift car out of the box for a cheap price.

Nathan

Yeah wouldn’t it be awesome if Yamaha have helped tune the engine for great response and torque with the double wishbones actually providing a good mix between comfort and performance. Seriously, if they get this right it will be BFYB of the decade!

macca

6 spd auto – be interesting to see what sort of box this is (toyota/subaru/or made by someone else? torque converter\cvt\dual-clutch?)

supercujo

I’m guessing the CVT from the Liberty
zahmad

Its a six speed version of the ISF’s eight speed, so a conventional automatic.

Pauly

Yeah the auto will be intresting to see what they do.

Toyota I think do DSG Box’s in Europe called ‘Multi-Mode’ Gearbox’s?

Maybe they will use this?
CRS200

This car has basically the same Power specs as the Clio RS 200:
Max. power (kW) / (rpm) (147.5) / (7,100)
Max. Torque (Nm) / (rpm) (215) / (5,400)
Tare mass (kg) 1,281.

Very interesting only difference is the Clio is FWD and has a Magnificent balanced chassis, the Toyota should be a very interesting car to drive, comparing with the Clio RS 200 weight and power.

Adaniel

The Clio RS200 is no slouch.
If its as good as the Clio RS it definetly will have my consideration as a purchase.

Falcodore

Hyundai called, they want their head/tail lights back!

http://zuboora.com mohamad is right when he

Proton called.. They want the steering wheel back also

Karl

“and 205Nm of torque at 6600rpm.”
I hope that’s a typo.

At least it’s RWD!
Flabby Chap

I’d say 0-100kmh spec 8.0sec. In real life with “real life” driver 8.5sec to 9.0sec. But this car is all about handling and fun.

With an average “real life P-plater” 12sec, as the inexperienced fella will most likely stuff up the gear change. With a peaky engine, got to upshift correctly at the very narrow windows to get the most out of it. Even though some of them buy manuals for street cred, the fact is an average “real life P-plater” or hair dresser would be a lot quicker in an auto.
j

I assume a rotrex/centrifugal supercharger would be relatively easy to bolt on. Check raptorsc.com.au- they got one for natmo imprezas.

But i’d prefer a factory turbo
UMWHAT

with that kind of torque I’d be afraid to go up hills
Vince

If Subaru were smart.. they’d have put the V6 out of the Aurion in there and given the 370z a real match.
RoFlmaTiC

Shouldn’t be too slow, probably a little quicker than the last Civic Type R which had the same power from memory? Would be similar weight too.

This car has a similar power/torque/weight ratio to the new lotus elise! If Toyota have stayed true to their goal of emulating the AE86, this should be a fun car to drive!

j

Honda’s K20 makes less torque though.
Adaniel

To have the same torque ratio as the elise it would need another 20Nm Torque.

Biggest problem with the 86 here is the car has too much weight. The Elise is 350Kgs lighter and this makes a big difference to handling and, more importantly, braking distances.

RoFlmaTiC

Have to respectfully disagree with your regarding the braking distance, my understanding is that the only relevant factor is friction (i.e. width of wheels, materials in tyres). Although a heavier car will have more inertia, it will (all other things being equal) have proportionally more friction so the weight of the car gets cancelled out.

Basically, a car should have the same stopping distance with 1 person inside or 5 people inside.

Adaniel

RoFlmaTiC,

Dear sir,

Half the mass and you will half the breaking distance (all other things being equal). Reduce it by a quarter, as we have here, with all other things being equal, you will reduce your breaking distance by a quarter.

No, a car will not have the same breaking distance if you have 1 or 5 people in the car. (Unless we are talking about 1x300Kg guy and 5 x60Kgs people.)

Anonymous

The breaking distance will be approximately the same if the brakes are powerful enough to lock. Learn your physics.

Adaniel

RoFlmaTiC,

Dear sir,

Reading further, i see where you are coming from in relation to stopping distance and the proportional increase in friction on tyres.
I would like to see the numbers though. It would seem to depend greatly on how the cars were set up, tyres / springs / shocks etc.

JHP

wow… how disappointing… i’ll go for hyundai genesis coupe thank you very much
delux

If you build it with a trubo, they will come.
JHP

what a joke, 147kw??? 205nm??? with 1.2 tonnes of weight???
they have a technologies that enabled them to build lexus LFA, and this is the best they can come up with? how pathetic is this???
i know its not suppose to be half a million dollar bonker supercar, but really? 147kw??? what a complete ricer! that’s just slightly better than previous toyota celica zr.
i was expecting the rival of nissan 370z, but wow….
screw this, i’m not gonna wait for that to release, im getting either nissan 370z or hyundai genesis coupe when it comes out.
Driven

I’ve been following this car closely.

Seems to me like Toyota and Subaru are testing the waters….

They’re experimenting with the co-partnership and utilizing the need for a new Japanese sports coupe. Remember that both cars have virtually the same technology (real difference apart from external body is the suspension) and are being released in the same country? Thats an opportunity to attain some pertinent market data for both competing brands. The real question is what are they going to do with the data?
If you’ve read tons of articles and viewed the leaked photos like I have, you’d know that for the Subaru BRZ, under the bonnet there is little space for future add-ons (you can rule out the turbocharger) and yet there is talk still of a planned ”STi version”.
Meanwhile the FT-86 DOES have enough space under the bonnet for technology like engine extras.

And If your hung up by the power figures, dont worry, the car(s) is a launching pad for something else…

Smells like something BIG is cooking, but unfortunately we’ll have to hold our breaths for longer yet.
